Item Description
Fellow Cuppers,
If one of your goals in life is to play all of the top 100 golf courses in America, here’s a chance to pick up #13: Crystal Downs. It is the course Alister McKenzie designed when he was traveling back to England after doing the design work at Cypress Point. Two very distinct nines, and the greens are classic and diabolical. Tom Doak, who knows a thing or two about great golf courses, is a member at Crystal. In his classic book, The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, Doak wrote : “Simply put, if you haven’t seen Crystal Downs, your education in golf architecture is incomplete.”
This was donated by my friend, Eric Flegenheimer, who I serve with on the Flynn Board. He is also the former club champion at Crystal, but was too modest to put that in the description. There are other great tracks in the area you can play at the same time, including Arcadia Bluffs, which is another top 100 track just down the road. You can fly into Traverse City, which is a great little airport just north of the course, as has good connections via Detroit and Chicago. Last year this went for a little over $4,000, so it isn’t cheap. But if you and two friends are looking for a wonderful golf experience, please consider this. All proceeds benefit the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts.
Regards, Chico
