Located at the Treetops Resort's Treetops North facility in Gaylord, Mich., alongside the Fazio Premier Course and Rick Smith Signature Course, Threetops is considered one of America's best par-3 golf courses and offers possibly the best public access play.
The nine-hole, par-27 course features holes ranging from 140-219 yards and is set on similarly undulating hills, with elevation changes of up to 170 feet -- which really comes into play on the 219-yard third hole. The course was designed by the co-owner of Treetops, Rick Smith, and is a former host to the Threetops Shootout that takes place each summer
All holes features numerous teeing areas, and the second hole has alternate left and right greens. The Threetops course has three daily sets of tees and plays to a peak yardage of 1,400.
