In addition, the course features some wonderful strategic holes including the famous island green No. 15, and some spectacular finishing par 5 holes on each side.
Throughout the golf course, golfers will encounter a rich history of the Hannahville Indian Community with holes named after traditional Potawatomi clans, villages, allies, medicines and symbols.

Island Resort’s newest 18-hole course is Sage Run, which opened in 2018 and offers a contrasting style and design from its sister course Sweetgrass with its prairie links style.
Sage Run meanders through beautiful Upper Peninsula hardwoods and open vistas with very dramatic views. A natural drumlin, or elongated hill or ridge formed by glacial ice long ago, is the primary feature on Sage Run. A variety of golf holes meander off of and around the hill offering a scenic variety of shots creating a fun thrill ride for golfers. The challenging combination of long holes with creative short par fours lined with fescue grasses and strategic bunkering will challenge golfers of all abilities. Albanese said Royal County Down in Northern Ireland, rated among the world’s top courses, served as inspiration.

The resort offers something for everyone including 326-rooms, gaming action with over 1,200 slot machines, table games and a poker room, the Drift Spa, multiple dining options from fine-dining to casual, live entertainment and more.
