Gaylord Golf Mecca Courses Opening During National Travel & Tourism Week
By Greg Johnson
We call it perfect timing.
It’s National Travel & Tourism Week across the country and here in the Gaylord Golf Mecca our fabulous collection of golf courses will all be open and welcoming golfers by the end of the week.
We feature 17 world class golf courses, 21 great lodging partners and vacation trip packages at every price point.
We are America’s Summer Golf Mecca, a 35-year-old cooperative marketing effort for an incredible collection of golf. Make it your group’s tradition to visit any one or all of the world-class courses created by many of the game’s greatest golf course design architects. Tom Fazio, Robert Trent Jones Sr., Rees Jones, Rick Smith, Jerry Matthews, and the legendary Wilfrid E. Reid among others have carved their inspirational artistry through our Northern Michigan woods.
With the many distinct dining and lodging opportunities that pair with the wonderfully diverse and delightful golf experiences, golf publications and bloggers consistently rank Gaylord resorts among the top stay-and-play destinations in the country.
A round of golf in the Mecca is a truly memorable touch of the beating heart of Northern Michigan golf. The longest of summer days, uncluttered greens and pristine natural beauty carved by the glaciers long ago form a foursome of sorts with each golfer. Skill levels of the player are easily accommodated as well. The Mecca collection was designed to challenge champions as well as appeal to those who just want to play for the day in a beautiful place.
