Three Unique Courses. One Unforgettable Golf Experience.

One of the things that truly sets Lakewood Shores Resort apart is variety. With three distinctly different championship courses plus the Wee Links, golfers can enjoy multiple styles of play without ever leaving the property. Whether you are planning a stay and play trip or a single round, Lakewood Shores offers an experience that feels fresh every time you tee it up.

At the heart of the resort is The Gailes, a course unlike anything else in Michigan. Designed in true links style, The Gailes features wide fairways, firm playing conditions, pot bunkers, double greens, and an emphasis on creativity and strategy. Wind is often a factor, and no two rounds ever play the same. When it opened, The Gailes earned national recognition as Golf Digest’s Best New Resort Course in the United States in 1993, a testament to its bold design and authentic feel. 

Today, continued investment and restoration work are focused on bringing the course back to its original open, links inspired character while enhancing overall playability.

For golfers who enjoy a more traditional look and feel, Blackshire delivers a classic northern Michigan experience. Framed by hardwoods and pines, Blackshire features defined holes, expansive sand waste areas, and challenging green complexes that reward smart shot selection and solid ball striking. It is a course that feels familiar in the best way, offering a strong test for experienced players while remaining enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels.

The Serradella provides a completely different atmosphere. Known for its beauty and playability, Serradella winds through natural wetlands and vibrant landscaping filled with thousands of annuals and perennials. Wide fairways and large greens make it welcoming, while thoughtful design elements keep it engaging from start to finish. Serradella is often praised for its scenery as much as its golf, making it a favorite for players who appreciate a relaxed and picturesque round.

Completing the experience is the Wee Links, a fun and casual pitch and putt course located right on the resort property. Perfect for warming up, working on your short game, or enjoying a laid back round with friends and family, the Wee Links adds another layer of enjoyment to every stay.

Together, these four options create a golf destination that truly has something for everyone. From championship level challenges to scenic rounds and short game fun, Lakewood Shores Resort delivers variety, quality, and unforgettable golf experiences all in one place.

No matter which course you choose, one thing remains the same. A commitment to great golf, great conditions, and a memorable stay every time you visit Lakewood Shores.
