Pine Grove Country Club, Iron Mountain, Michigan

Established in 1902, Pine Grove Country Club is a great course for all skill levels. There are some great birdie opportunities, as well as some very difficult holes. The terrain is fairly sloped, so there are some holes where it is very tough to get it close to the pin. My favorite hole on the course is #3, a dogleg right where you have to drive over the entrance road to the club, and then you are faced with a long approach shot to a green that is surrounded by (what else?) tall, stately pine trees. The fourth hole has a very slanted fairway that is tough to stay on, and the sixth hole is a big-dogleg-right, downhill par five.

Overall a very enjoyable golf course. It is semi-private, but a courteous phone call can usually get you on!
