Update - Please provide comments

Based on the response to the poll, the Ryder Cup will be held on May 30 - June 1, 2008. The format will be US v. Canada if there is enough Canadians (if not looks like its young v. old) The location is up in the air at this point due to Treetops change of price and Boyne's change of price and the need to drive approx 1/2 hour to each course.

Treetops has changed their prices for that weekend to their peak season rates. Therefore for Hotel rooms ONLY with 2 round of golf without any meals the price is $325. The courses or nice but I do not think they are worth that much.

Boyne. Boyne has also slightly increased their prices this week (they were going to give us 2007 prices last week). The biggest problem with Boyne is the driving that we will have to do to all the courses. The prices for Boyne will be approx $240-$250 per person for 2 days of unlimited golfing, 2 breakfast buffets, 2 nights lodging in condos (older condos), and a $25 voucher for the casino nearby). The biggest drawback for Boyne is the courses are very far apart from each other (almost 45 minutes from Boyne Mountain to Boyne Highland). Based on previous experience, this is not conducive to the format that we have.

A third choice is Otsego Club. www.otsegoclub.com

This is a golf resort that has a real nice course called the Tribute and a sister course called Black Forest. They are offering a package that includes 2 rounds (one of the tribute and one of Black Forest), lodging (one large condo and a bunch of hotel rooms) a dinner (order from the menu up to $30) for $270 per person. The tribute is a real nice course and Otsego is located right off of I-75 in Gaylord so it is about 1/2 hour closer than Boyne Mountain and more than one hour closer than Boyne Highlands.

There are still the choices of Shanty Creek or The Chief

Please give feedback.

So lets go to one of those. (Shanty or the Chief) Like it matters.

I am up for driving less...even though it is only 30mins or so - it makes a difference for us Canadians who are going to come. But I do like the whole Casino Idea :)

I am still trying to firm up numbers from the Canadian content and I should have a better idea in the next week or so as to the number of SOLID commitments from the Great White North!!!! I will keep you posted.

The main concern from most people I have talked to is $$$ and distance so the closer and lower in price - the more likely it can be USA vs CAN!!!!

Looking forward to it and THANKS AGAIN TO MARK!!!! For all of his hard work in making this happen for all of us!!!

No to Boyne I do not want to drive all over the place. Lets do the chief ro even the closer one in gaylord....

In my humble opinion, both Treetops and Boyne are out of the question. Treetops due to the price/value ratio, and Boyne because we can barely make it on time to our early tee times when the course is outside our window.

My vote is for The Chief due to the superior living arrangements.

I would also like to stress the one-round per day structure, so that we may have time to get crunk.

there are 7 courses at Boyne and 2 of the courses are on Boyne Mt. that's not a half hour away, so why are we limited to the far courses

We can play both of the courses at Boyne Mountain (alpine and the monument) or stay at Boyne Highland and play courses there (donald ross, the moor). The main problem is that the monument is a very difficult course and while the apline is nice, there are nicer courses at Boyne. The donald ross is a nice course but the moor is a dump. We can play the other two courses at the Highland but they both charge a $20 surcharge (the Arthur Hills and the Heather). In addition, the drive to Boyne Highlands is almost 45 min. further than Boyne Mountain.
