Crystal Downs Country Club

Crystal Downs Country Club is a private country club in Lake Township, Benzie County, near Frankfort, Michigan. Designed by golf course architects Alister MacKenzie and Perry Maxwell in 1929, the par-70, 6,518 yard course offers views of Lake Michigan and Crystal Lake. The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore lies just to its east.
Despite being consistently ranked among the top courses in the United States (ranked 10th for 2007-08 by Golf Digest)[1] the only tournament of note it has hosted has been the 1991 U.S. Senior Amateur, due to its isolated location far from population centers and the corresponding lack of sufficient facilities (lodging, transportation, infrastructure) needed to accommodate the crowds attracted by major tournament events. Crystal Downs is considered one of the top golf courses in America, and has drawn many comparisons to surrounding golf clubs, the difference with Crystal Downs being its isolation.
