IF YOU ARE NOT A MEMBER FIND ANOTHER COURSE…read more First off, the course is underwhelming when comparing it to any Boyne owned courses. Second, the staff is unbelievably rude to non members. They don't want non members to golf there, they just want your money. We were golfing a 9 hole scramble with a group of 4 and a group of 3. The course staff told us to tee off the back 9, but be aware of some twosomes coming up behind us (obviously not a problem). They did not catch us until the 8th hole, and we let them pass. The course martial came out on a golf cart after the 8th hole and told us that we were "making this very difficult for him" and that "he will be having to deal with calls from members complaining about this". We competed 9 holes in 2 hours so by no means were we going slow. We get back to the clubhouse and the golf manager came out to tell us that we are not welcome back. They want one time golf fees from non members, but do not want us to actually golf there. The reality is they can't stay open if they don't keep it open to non members, but will complain about them instead the entire time they are golfing. We won't be back. If you are looking for a good place to golf, I recommend going to Crooked Tree, or another Boyne owned course. The courses are better and the staff is much friendlier.

First off, they have bathrooms, if you're in need of one. Second, they have all sorts of handmade (Michigan made, the proprietor told us) gifts and tchotchkes. Most are a bit on the pricier side but I saw some rings made of forks and spoons for $8, which were pretty cool, and a few more inexpensive jewelry options, too. Everything we saw here was really interesting so that is why this shop gets 5 out of 5 stars from me. I hopefully will return when next in the Boyne City area.

Holy smokes, Batman! Movie ticket prices here are so cheap…read more We came on a gloomy drizzly afternoon. Perfect excuse to head indoors and watch a movie. Saw Mad Max in 3D for 6 buckeroos! What a pleasant surprise. It was matinee pricing so tickets are EXTRA cheap. I didn't believe the guy when he told us what we owed and I had to confirm with him that yes, it was indeed the price for 3D. Even further discounts given if you're a student, in the military, a senior (60+), or a child (3-12). Concessions are also priced very reasonably. Theater is very cute and charming looking, both inside and out. It's right off the main street. Our ticket seller was very friendly and chatted us up a bit. They're forced to wear black formal attire so that kind of snazzes up the place. Comfortable seating, no complaints about our movie experience. Perk about seeing movies here are there a ton of commercials for local businesses shown some of which are wow, just no words. Pretty amazing to watch though. You get the impression this is a tight knit community. It was cute though because I walked by a candy shop just minutes before and recognized the owner after seeing him in the commercial for his shop. Pretty nifty!

This theater was built in the late 90's. It's very clean and has a very friendly staff. However…read moreit's only a mediocre cinema. There is only a tiny angle to the seating, so it is far from stadium seating. The seats are very crunched together so not the most comfortable. The picture and sound are good. Just not alot of charm to the place. So it kinda fits that it was built in the 90's. Overall I'd give 3 stars. Would I return? Yes if I was in the area and it was the only place showing what I want to watch or had a better time or I just wanted to eat in Charlevoix.

Member Beware…read more Northern Michigan has a bounty of great golf courses - scenic and challenging, public and private. Decisions as to where to play are made easy by the respect courses are given by those who have played them. But what about when interest turns to fondness and membership at a Club becomes appealing? Is it as simple as asking to join, paying an initiation fee and making a tee time, splashing in the pool or hitting the 19th hole? It is not that simple. In fact, what is presented here represents two drastically different sets of rules and bylaws that can make club membership a wonderful experience, or a nightmare. Two long-standing golf clubs in the Harbor Springs area, Country Club of Boyne (CCB), and Birchwood Farms Golf and Country Club (BFGCC) represent vastly different approaches to membership, utilizing guidelines that govern how to join, rules of participation, and bylaws that dictate how and when you may resign your membership, and what it may cost You! CCB, very simply, has an equity membership program. You buy, by way of an initiation fee, a membership that is sellable at the time you wish to no longer be a member. It may be that you can't sell the membership immediately - their bylaws state that for every new membership sold an existing will be sold next - but you have something of value, a show of gratitude from the club for your dues over the term of your membership. BFGCC, on the other hand, initially required property purchase for membership. There were varying lots of different sizes, some "buildable" others merely membership lots; prices were set accordingly. From that land purchase, like with CCB, you had something of value for your commitment to the club. The problem was the club had a decade of poor financial decisions by the management and board of directors that resulted in property values plummeting - to the point of being worthless. What the club chose to do to compensate for the downfall was implement bylaws that forced members, at the time they cared to resign their memberships, to pay a $15,000 buyout fee. And, additionally, should the family member who originally joined not buy their way out, upon their death the membership passed on to their family. Even a member of good standing, with 30-plus years of devoted membership, who was too old to play golf or use the facility, was subject to the exorbitant buy out fee. Not only was there no gratitude for the members allegiance, they were being held a financial hostage for their servitude. This is a classic case of read the fine print, or in this case, the bylaws. No well intentioned person, interested in joining a club, willing to commit to monthly dues, should ever be held over a fire for a club's ineptness and greed..
