Epson Tour

BOYNE Golf and The Highlands are honored and excited that the Great Lakes Sports Commission and the Epson Tour have selected The Heather golf course at The Highlands to host the Great Lakes Championship from June 13 to 15.

The Heather was the first BOYNE Golf course and is widely credited as the spark that started the golf boom in northern Michigan. The Heather launched the region as America’s Summer Golf Capital and has hosted many prestigious championships, including five Michigan Amateur Championships since it opened in 1966. We look forward to the test it will provide the outstanding golfers on the Epson Tour on their journey to the LPGA.

The Great Lakes Championship at The Highlands will offer a $250,000 purse and a $37,500 winner’s check. This new event in Harbor Springs will mark the third Epson Tour event in Michigan – joining the FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship in Battle Creek and the Island Resort Championship in Harris – and will also showcase the beauty of Michigan golf while testing the Epson Tour athletes with a Tour-worthy track.

Hosting this prominent event underscores our commitment to golf and further highlights northern Michigan as a premier destination for exceptional golf. The beauty of northern Michigan, coupled with the high level of competition the Epson Tour offers, will make this a memorable event for players and spectators alike.
