The Rock ranks among Michigan’s finest . . . On Drummond Island, The Rock stands out as one of Michigan’s top resort golf courses. With a Four-Star rating as one of the top places to play, The Rock is the cornerstone of the active tourist’s paradise known as the Drummond Island Resort and Conference Center. It was originally financed by former Detroit Tigers owner and Domino’s Pizza magnate Thomas Monaghan.
The uniqueness of Drummond Island and the adventure of coming to an island to play golf with all the extra curricular activities all adds to the mystique. Golfers interact with the natural environment and natural resources while having fun along the way.
There are more than 2,200 of scenic natural rustic acres surrounding The Rock.
The Resort also features tennis and volleyball courts, an eight-lane bowling alley, recreation area, clay shooting area, sauna, pool and weight room, along with boat, canoe, personal watercraft, bike and SUV rentals.
But golf is what draws people to The Rock by planes, boats and cars.
The well maintained conditions on the golf course accent the wildlife of the island.
Rolling fairways and greens set up the course that weaves in and out of heavily wooded areas and is outlined by waterways throughout. Rock ledges from blasting of limestone and flat rock during construction of the course accent the surroundings.
A one-mile ride on the cart path takes golfers to the first hole, where they are treated to some of the best island golf this side of Great Britain. No. 6 features natural rock ledges on the side of the fairway and green. Two more ledges appear on No. 12. Several other holes feature the rocks that give the course its character and its name.
Golfers are secluded on every single hole and there is an abundance of wildlife on the course. Golfing The Rock is like taking a nature tour.
A nine-hole practice putting course also is available.
