Time flies... and with it goes the opportunities to see our dreams come to life - like climbing Kilimanjaro, visiting the Eifel Tower, having an Old Style in the Wrigley Field bleachers and of course playing some of golf's spectacular courses.   As I outlined some of the places that I would love to have on my list, I realized that I could only claim to have played one (Pinehurst #2), and that was over 10 years ago!  Luckily for me, the Donald Ross Memorial at BOYNE is here to help. 

The Donald Ross Memorial is a compilation course of many of Donald Ross' best holes, recreated at Boyne Highlands.  The tour starts with Seminole Golf Club's 6th hole and makes a virtual lap around the country... including a trip to Scotland to start your back nine!  (Although Royal Dornoch wasn't designed by Ross, it was included for being Ross' home track as a youngster).  The holes chosen represent over 14 US Opens, 11 PGA Championships, 8 US Amateurs and 3 Ryder Cups! 

In all, you would have to travel 10,433 miles in order to play the holes in order, spend a couple thousand dollars on greens fees (if you can even get on some of the private courses) and of course... make the flight from Chicago to Scotland at the turn.  Or, plug '600 Highlands Drive, Harbor Springs, MI 49740' into your GPS - call 800.462.6963 to book your stay (Room and a Round from $81!)- then once your here, get your pen out and start crossing off your list.  It shouldn't take more than about 4 hours.
