The oldest course in the area features two distinct nines, a tree-lined mature front that opened in in 1915 and a wide-open back that opened in 1990 with water on seven holes. The 435-yard 18th is widely considered the toughest closing hole in the Upper Peninsula, with its elevated and undulating green. The par 71 course covers 5,974 yards from the white tees and 6,223 yards from the blue tees. An excellent test of golf also includes a clubhouse with food and bar, and excellent Friday fish-fry. A PGA professional is on staff. Easy to walk and carts are available.

The par-72 course can stretch from 6,18 yards to 6,701 yards through tree-lined fairways. Rated the best county course by Daily Press reader surveys. The course demands accuracy off the tee and on approach shots, with new trees and water hazards adding to the demands.

There is considerable room for wayward tee shots, but looks are deceiving and scoring is not as easy as it appears. Ponds on four holes and creeks that cross three fairways place a premium on accuracy. The relatively flat par-71 layout plays up to 6,224 yards and is easy to walk.

City of Escanaba Bike Path

The Escanaba Cross Country Pathway is located within the city limits, yet feels like it is set deep in the wilderness. The peaceful cedar ridges and hardwood hills block out the hustle of the city. The trailhead is located on North 30th Street just north of Charter Communications.
