About Treetops Resort - The Premier
When asked to name a signature hole, Fazio famously replied 'All of them!', and the design supports that claim. The Premier features challenging elevation changes where accuracy matters more than distance, with Fazio's characteristic hallmark of striking the perfect balance between challenge and forgiveness. The course is one of 81 holes of championship golf at Treetops Resort, the others come from Robert Trent Jones Sr. (Masterpiece) and Rick Smith (multiple Smith designs including the par-3 Threetops). Peak green fee runs $145-215 for resort guests. Fits a Forest Dunes or Gaylord Golf Mecca trip as Fazio's only Michigan stop, a must-play for the Fazio architectural completionist.
