Greetings from Mackinac Island

Scottish Links
The oldest continually played course in Michigan, Wawashkamo means to walk a crooked path and a heck of a path it is. This Scottich links course retired as a battlefield after the War of 1812 and is now a National Historic Landmark.

Designed by Alex Smith in 1898, this course's natural features were left unaltered with heather and thistle added to remain true to Scottish tradition. Hickory sticks, modern clubs and cart rentals available.
