Garland Lodge & Golf Resort - Reflections Course
Rating Snapshot
About
There are four championship golf courses available at Garland Resort in Lewiston. The characteristics they all share are the great conditions but that is where the similarities end. They each offer a unique round, especially the Reflections Course, which has plenty of variety in the hole design. The opening holes of the course begin with intimidating elevation changes and dramatically rolling fairways, which both make an appearance on the back side. It's some of the most extreme terrain of any of Garland Resort's golf courses. There are also several tricky doglegs to contend with and water hazards come into play several times as well. The course will test you with some challenging holes but it finishes with a scenic, downhill par 3 that gives you the opportunity to end with a good score.

I Can See Myself Playing This Course Again ;-)
Reflections can be the most challenging course at Garland, if you're not hitting the ball decently straight. A lot of places to get behind trees or disappear into the woods. A few holes have the water come into play. Several blind-ish tee shots are always a little daunting. May not be my favorite course at Garland, but still a great golf course. Be on the lookout for the eagles nest in the pines to the left between Reflections #10 and Monarch #11.
My Favorite Garland Course
Didn't score as well as 2 years ago, but still had fun and it is my favorite of the 4 Garland courses available.
Bunkers not maintained
The course was great except for the bunkers which had grass growing in them which means they don't ever get groomed by the grounds keepers. They also had lots of pebbles and stones in them. These bunkers are an embarrassment to an otherwise nice facility and course.
We will not be back...too many nice courses in Michigan who actually maintain the bunkers!!!!!
You can see yourself playing Reflections
Fun track and impeccably maintained - much more hilly terrain than the Monarch - this was the 2nd course we played in our mini getaway and enjoyed it very much; greens (bent grass) ran true. I will come back and play again.
Least favorite at Garland
To preface my rankings, we played through heavy rain for most of the day so there weren’t many people out there. Additionally, the conditions took a hit with the rain and there was some standing water.
Aside from the rain, the staff and amenities at all Garland courses was fantastic, but this course stood out amongst the rest as our groups least favorite. There were a few too many gimmicky holes and a couple where your approach is blocked-out unless you’re in the rough. We played the tips (6300ish so not a monster), but some tee boxes back there had porthole windows to shoot through with overhanging trees.
If you don’t have time to play every course at garland, this should be the first left off. If you do have time, it’s worth the play just expect some frustration.
Nice woods trail
Nice up north feel. Course is in great shape, yardage plays true.
Nice course to play in Lewiston
Played the course for the first time in a long time pace of was good - beautiful layout
Course in great shape
Played just under 4 hours, course was in great shape
Great if you get the Hot Deal, otherwise Overpriced
I would not pay $90 for this course, well worth the $40 though.
Terrific round.
Reflections is the perfect blend of beauty, fun and challenge. With exceptionally smooth greens. Garland knows how to setup a course.
Twenty Years Later Still A Great Course
Played Sunday afternoon & had the course to ourselves. Reflections is a great course not your traditional layout. Each nine has 3 par 3's, 3 par 4's & 3 par 5's. Just a fun & beautiful course. If your in the area, it's a definite stop.
Great Resort and Value
Nothing to complain about. Great place and value.
4 courses on property, all very good.
wonderful. going back
Great complex, very nice courses
This is a great place to play. Our group is thinking of returning but to stay on the grounds.
Scenic course
First time playing here and it was outstanding. Perfect shape.. very challenging holes. My only problem with some holes I would have a perfect drive but the pin placements made it almost unreachable at times.
It wad beautiful especially the first couple holes were very pretty. The front nine was my favorite.
Great day at Garland
Excellent day playing one of the most beautiful golf courses in Northern Michigan. Spectacular colors everywhere, the course is in pristine condition. Shotmaking is required and target golf at its best.
Perfect. Only improvement would be some senior tees, for us old guys.
definitely a challenge
This course was rather wet - mud on the ball constantly. Course design is diabolical - there is some mean holes Course definitely has some teeth - Greens are fairly fast and undulation is prevalent. Condition was very good. Rough length around the greens is severe. Minimal margin for error. The course plays too tough for the average player - it wasn't fun.
This course is has spactacular views.
All Garland courses are in great shape and when we have anyone from out of town they always say WOW what a nice course. One big problem though is the bugs are very annoying. I hope you are addressing this issue.
Reflections at Garland
Nice course, glad I used GolfNow.com, would not have been worth the regular price of $90 per round.
Nice course.
Nice course, but sand traps were not well maintained. Pace of play was great because we were basically the only ones on the course. Great value through Golf Now but not worth full price. Maybe conditions were as they were because it was late in the season, but we expected Garland to be pristine.

Absolutely 100% agree with this review. Couldn’t have been written any better, and I wish I would’ve read this comment before choosing which 3 we couple play and missing out on Monarch.
