Grand Traverse Resort & Spa - The Wolverine Course

We played in the afternoon when prices were lower. The course was in great shape, the greens were very receptive and true and bunkers had plenty of sand. Pace of play was a little slow on the front nine but then two of the groups in front of us only played nine which allowed us to fly on the back nine. So our entire time was played in sub-4 hours.

Enjoyed the course. Nice layout. You can tell course is getting a lot of traffic as tee boxes have a lot of divots. Great value overall. Highly recommend!

Wolverine is a lovely course. It definitely doesn’t have the teeth of its next door neighbor known as “The Bear” but it’s still a good test and a great golf course. The course was in magnificent condition. We played it twice while at Grand Traverse, and both times were a lot of fun. The staff told us that you can normally get quite a bit of rollout on the course, but it rained a lot while we were there, so it was definitely target golf. The fairways are gigantic, with subtle rolls throughout. A shot in the middle of the fairway may be way above or below your feet. The greens are fast and firm out pretty quick. Lots of risk reward type holes where you can take out the dog leg and leave a short iron or wedge into the green. Overall it was a lovely experience!

The Grand Traverse Resort Wolverine course is a great layout, that is maintained very well. Excellent staff. A great day of golf!

A beautiful course, that is one of thr most fun courses to plan in Michigan. It never disappoints

The course was beautiful and my wife commented how nice the fairways and greens were. We ran into some slow play right before it rained and the golf course assistant was quite helpful in telling them to get moving and later found out they were employees but we finished just as the rain started and ended up leaving both our water bottles by the bag drop. Highly recommend this course and next time we will try the Bear course.

Great course and friendly staff. Worth every penny!

Fairways were in excellent shape. Greens suffered from lack of rain/watering. About 5 minutes travel from front to back 9 as they are disconnected.

I was very impressed with this facility. Nice clubhouse and practice area, Course was well maintained, We didn't want for anything. Perfect weather., perfect pace. Highly recommend!!

The Wolverine compliments the Bear and Spruce Run very well. I think it's the most scenic of the three courses (the cherry orchard on the back helps a lot). It has its own set of challenges, but isn't quite as difficult as its big brother. I enjoyed the back much more than the front. I suspect Gary Player may have been more limited on the front, but it still is very enjoyable. There are a few blind tee shots and some well protected greens, but it's a very playable course for any skill level. I enjoyed the course even though my round was played during 40 degree weather in November. I suggest giving all three courses at the resort a try. The Wolverine has cemented itself in a second place spot in my book.

I personally loved this course. Group of 16 hit the Bear first and then headed over to the Wolverine after a fantastic lunch in the clubhouse. From a practical standpoint, the Wolverine was a much fairer course than the Bear and was devoid of the major green-side bunkers' insatiable appetite for more golf-balls. This is not to say the course was easy, it just may be a better bang for your buck than the Bear if you are in the double-digit handicap range. The views at both courses are un-matched and either course is a great way to spend an afternoon, but I advise just playing both and doing the stay-and-play because why would you not?

Definitely the more playable of the two courses at Grand Traverse Resort, the Wolverine is both beautiful and well-conditioned. It's also very fair with generous fairways, moderate greens and no excessive hazards. This is a course that doesn't penalize every marginal shot. There are ample opportunities to save par if you miss the green. And speaking of the greens, they roll true and they're not crazy, so you can make putts.

I really enjoyed playing the Wolverine Course at The Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. This scenic and well-groomed "resort style course" still seems challenging even from the forward tees. I particularly liked the back nine and playing around the water and wetlands. The elevation changes added to the variety of the holes too. The starters and players' assistants seem really well organized so a twosome playing amidst groups of fours was never a problem as course staff are flexible as to what hole to start on and other modifications to keep the groups moving. The staff even let us store our clubs on the cart for next day's round on The Bear, which provides an altogether different and even more challenging golfing experience at the same resort (Grand Traverse Resort and Spa}.
