~24 Minutes West Along
the US-2 Corridor
Indian Lake Golf Course and Stony Point Golf Course give Manistique golfers decent local options — both are inland layouts with inland views. If you want the actual Great Lakes shoreline under your feet while you play, those courses are not it. Nahma Golf Club is. Twenty-three miles west on US-2, and the road takes you from Manistique's Lake Michigan dune boardwalk zone inland and back out to the shore of Big Bay de Noc — a different stretch of water with a different character entirely.
The US-2 run west from Manistique has its own quirks to know. Morning sun glints hard off the lake in the early hours — worth knowing if you are heading out before 9 a.m. Once you clear the open shoreline sections, crosswinds pick up across the highway. The sharp left turn south onto Ll Road drops you into the isolated Nahma peninsula, where the road narrows and marsh opens up on either side before the course appears on your left. Established 1922. Par 36, 9 holes. Green fees from $18.
A day around Kitch-iti-kipi and Manistique pairs naturally with a round out here. You are already on US-2. The 23-mile run west and back adds maybe an hour and a half to a day that mostly runs itself — and the setting at Nahma is different enough from anything near town that the detour earns its keep.
