CHOOSE YOUR COURSE

Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or still finding your swing, Escanaba and Delta County make a great home base for exploring some of the best golf in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. In fact, the U.P. was named the #1 Golf Destination in the United States in USA TODAY’s 2026 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards.

Start close to town with welcoming local courses, scenic fairways and options for a range of skill levels. Then venture a little farther to play some of the courses that have helped put U.P. golf on the national map. At Island Resort & Casino in nearby Harris, Sweetgrass Golf Club hosts professional tournament play, while Sage Run Golf Club offers a distinctly different layout shaped by the region’s rolling terrain.

With courses throughout the area, it’s easy to build a golf getaway around variety. Take on challenging slopes, tight doglegs and strategic water hazards one day, then enjoy a more relaxed round on wide-open fairways the next. Most courses are open May through October, and fall brings an added bonus: brilliant color surrounding the greens. Learn more about fall color golfing in our blog!

Tee times are often easy to come by, making it possible to play more than one course during your stay—or decide where to play next over breakfast. Affordable greens and cart fees make a multi-course getaway easier on the wallet, too.

Off the course, refuel with everything from burgers, steaks and sandwiches at the clubhouse to craft beer, fresh local flavors and a wide variety of restaurants throughout the Escanaba area. Then settle into nearby lodging, get some rest and do it all again tomorrow.
