Gary Player's signature design at Grand Traverse Resort opened in 1999 as the second 18-hole course on the property, complementing The Bear's Nicklaus toughness with a more playable layout. The Wolverine is par 72, 7,043 yards, with the front nine threading water and wetlands and the back nine climbing into hardwood-framed highland terrain with views of Grand Traverse Bay. Golf Digest, Golf Magazine, and LINKS Magazine have all recognized Grand Traverse Resort as one of the Midwest's premier golf experiences, with Golf Magazine awarding the resort its Silver Medal. The Wolverine is also a Michigan Turfgrass Environmental Stewardship-certified Environmental Steward. As the second round of a Grand Traverse stay, it sits in the same $-to-$$ resort-tier pricing as The Bear and is the more enjoyable round for groups with mixed handicaps.
