Nahma GC is a 9 holer on Lake Michigan. I walked it today for $13. How many of you are finding the 9 hole keepers.

We played Sandy Pebbles GC in Ahmeek MI. A very natural experience. Small greens and tees, unwatered fescue fairways. They left a few pines too many as hazards though. It was a fun walk in the Keeweenaw.

It's always fun to play my previous works. This is Lincoln Hills GC in Ludington. I did the 17th hole early in my design career in 1987.
