The Gailes at Lakewood Shores Named One of America’s Best Golf Courses Under $100 by GOLF.com


At Lakewood Shores Golf Resort, we’ve always believed The Gailes is something special, and even Golf.com has recently featured it. The Gailes was recently named one of the best golf courses in America that you can play for under $100. This recognition highlights the unique experience our course offers and the unbeatable value it provides for golfers near and far.


A Scottish Seaside Experience in Michigan

Designed by Kevin Aldridge, The Gailes is a masterpiece that recreates the charm of Scotland’s famed seaside courses. From its large double greens to its meandering burns, sod-faced pot bunkers, and knee-high fescue, every detail of the course evokes the spirit of links golf. Even if you’ve never set foot in Scotland, a round at The Gailes will transport you to its windswept fairways.


The 10th hole epitomizes the essence of links golf. This 348-yard par-4 may appear straightforward, but hidden challenges await. Seven deep sod-faced bunkers, thick mounds of fescue, and a winding burn combine with Lake Huron’s unpredictable winds to make it a true test of strategy and skill.
