Twilight golfing, which often begins mid-afternoon, is another avenue for great golf at great savings. Since Northwest Michigan is on the very western edge of the eastern time zone, it's easy to play for many hours on a summer evening without worrying about having adequate light. As an added bonus during twilight golf, you'll get treated to the magnificent sunsets that sweep across the region. The courses we've listed in this chapter reflect the broad choices that are available.
