Golfers in the midwest and especially Michigan can attest that the mitten state has not only some of the best golf courses but there are plenty that are a true bargain and offer a great bang for the buck. When course owners overbuilt golf courses over the last 30+ years, it left a lot of tee times to fill and the glut left golfers with plenty of choices and golf course owners scrambling to keep their courses played and in great shape. The following list comes from Golf Advisor.
