You do not even have to look to see where your ball lands because you already know, you knew it in that split second before the club head even hit the ball. Now you can take a satisfying breath as you walk back to the cart with the knowledge that, as insignificant as it may seem, that you have achieved perfection in that one split second. This feeling overwhelms you as you sit back down in the cart to enjoy the serene atmosphere of the golf course. It is then that you can fully appreciate the personal soundness and natural satisfaction that the golf course has to offer. The typical landscape of a golf course is made up of many of the same features seen in the natural environment around us.
Most courses consist of areas with hilly or elevated terrain, trees, ponds, rivers, and even sand.
Although the finely trimmed grass found on the greens and fairways, and the wide openings that have been carved out between the trees clearly did not occur naturally. However, some golf courses provide a more scenic experience than others. Some of the most beautiful places to golf in Michigan are located in the area in and around Harbor Springs and Petoskey. Little Traverse Bay Golf Course offers a spectacular view from almost every hole. To reach the course, you must drive about one mile up the side of a mountain.
