Often referred to as “the King of Michigan Golf Courses” you are greeted with wide, generous landing areas that just beg you to let‘er rip and at 7,145 yards from the back tees you must do just that.  The inward nine is the most picturesque and difficult group of holes in Northern Michigan.  You will find this golf course both a demanding test and pleasurable golfing experience.  You will probably be able to use every club in the bag. The Monarch course has a slope of 143 from the tips and a slope of 120 from the front tees, which measures 4,904 yards.
