The Heather at The Highlands (Boyne)
publicThe Heather at The Highlands is one of two championship courses at Boyne Highlands Resort near Harbor Springs in northern Michigan's Emmet County, a region widely recognized as one of the finest golf destinations in the United States. The Heather course is the original and most celebrated layout at the Highlands, featuring bold bunkering, undulating greens, and sweeping views of the forested hills surrounding Little Traverse Bay. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., it represents a classic mid-20th-century American parkland design executed at its best. The course plays challenging from the back tees but remains enjoyable across all skill levels. Harbor Springs and Petoskey form Michigan's northern golf corridor, and the Heather is a must-play for any serious golfer visiting the region.
The Heather course opened at Boyne Highlands Resort in 1966, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. as the flagship layout of what would become one of the Midwest's premier golf resorts. Boyne Resorts founder Everett Kircher commissioned Jones to create a championship-caliber experience in northern Michigan's natural landscape. The Heather has undergone careful maintenance and periodic updating to preserve its original design character while meeting modern conditioning standards.
