About the Area
Forest Dunes lies near the quaint Northern Michigan village of Roscommon. Not as far north in the state as the relatively major hubs of Traverse City, Petoskey and Gaylord, Roscommon is less than a 3 hour drive from Detroit and southeast Michigan and about 6 hours from Chicago.

It’s a peaceful, serene are of the state. Nearby Higgins Lake has been recognized by National Geographic magazine as the sixth most beautiful lake in the world. Natural beauty has made this part of the Wolverine State a classic summer escape and winter wonderland.

Some 400,000 surrounding acres of the Huron National Forest supply recreational trails and world-class trout fishing on the AuSable and Manistee rivers make a fitting companion to the Pure Golf Experience that is Forest Dunes.

For bird-watchers, the town is a gateway to Kirtland’s Warbler country, just to the north. This area of the northern lower peninsula of Michigan is an ideal place to stay, live and enjoy many recreational opportunities--canoeing, fishing, hiking, cross country and downhill skiing, snowmobiling and golf.
