TimberStone Golf Course at Pine Mountain

Jerry Matthews, the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame architect with 90 designs across 42 of Michigan's 83 counties, opened TimberStone at Pine Mountain in 1996. The course is heavily wooded, set in the city of Iron Mountain in the Upper Peninsula, with the kind of dramatic elevation changes typical of UP golf. Golf Digest awards it 5 stars and Golfweek has it #9 on Best Courses You Can Play in Michigan. Recent recognition includes the 2019 Golfweek Best Courses in America to Play list and a #6 ranking on Golf Michigan's Best in Michigan. As a Pine Mountain Resort course, pricing sits in the $-to-$$ band, extraordinary value for a 5-star Golf Digest course this remote. Worth the drive for groups doing a UP loop alongside Greywalls and Sweetgrass.
