to describe your experience at A-Ga-Ming Golf Resort.

Sundance, northern Michigan’s premier resort course opened to rave reviews in 2005 and was listed among Golf Digest’s top upscale resort courses for that year. Designed by architect Jerry Matthews with assistance from international golf course shaper Steve St. James, Sundance is perhaps the finest example of neo-classical links style design found in the great lakes region. Born of a landscape etched by the unyielding march of ancient glaciers and surrounded by a veritable artist’s palette of iridescent blues and greens, Sundance blends as seamlessly into the natural environment as do the wild trilliums that grace the surrounding forest floor. Sundance provides the ultimate golf experience for either the scratch golfer or the weekend duffer. Large undulating greens, beautifully sculpted fairways with receptive landing areas, and scenic vistas are sure to please even the most discriminating golfer.

A-Ga-Ming’s original course, now named the “Torch,” continues to be a time-tested favorite for those favoring the challenge of a traditional woodlands course. The Torch meanders through a mix of mature hardwood forests, dense cedar groves and rolling terrain featuring the best views of Torch Lake.

Twelve years ago the A-Ga-Ming legacy was transferred to it’s current owners, Mike Brown and Larry Lavely, whose vision for the future and conscientious stewardship is guiding operations through an ambitious period of growth. In addition to the popular on site condominiums currently available for guest stays and golf packages, a 60 room lodge is proposed that will complement the 12,000 square foot clubhouse slated to open in 2008.

Featuring commanding views of Torch Lake as well as both golf courses, the new clubhouse will have a full service restaurant, business conference facilities and a grand ballroom for weddings and other large functions. An overview of some of the other major changes designed to usher the resort into a four season facility include exclusive residential real estate developments and an on-going renovation program to update the Torch course. Current residential offerings feature the Lakeview Ridge development, a private gated enclave limited to 14 single-family home sites and the cottages which will be upscale Northern Michigan inspired architecture.
