The Heather

Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr., in 1966, The Heather was the first BOYNE Golf course, and its challenge remains absolutely timeless. The course is widely considered to be one of the finest championship courses in the nation. The Heather was named the 2019 National Course of the Year and the 2018 Michigan Course of the Year.

Bearing all the markings of its legendary designer, this Robert Trent Jones Sr., The Heather has earned its reputation as one of the finest championship courses in the entire United States. 

 

The Heather has tested the finest names in the game since 1966, playing host to Michigan Amateurs, AJGA Championships, the Michigan State Pro-Am, and The Celebrity Tour.

Hole 1

A great opening hole, your tee shot should not stray too far to the right, which may be a natural reaction. Instead, something to the middle of the fairway will set up a short iron approach to this very undulating green.
