TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (March 14, 2007) - For a town with more than 100 golf courses about a half-hour\'s drive from Traverse City, there aren\'t too many worthy tracks just a hop, skip and jump away. Most require a 10- to 20-mile weave through two-lane blacktop, placing convenience on the backburner.
Within city limits, there are a handful of nine-hole and executive courses and the private Traverse City Country Club. Pickings are slim if you\'re not trying to mosey too far from your downtown accommodations.
But located just minutes from downtown Traverse City lies The Crown Golf Course, an overachieving property with a family, blue-collar atmosphere to it. There\'s no big-name designer here, rather a collection of holes built and designed mostly by the owners themselves.
The result is a championship course with a homegrown flavor and plenty of positives to make it worth a visit. That\'s specially the case after it added a second nine in 1998, separating itself from the town\'s pack.
