Newest Amenity of the Island Resort & Casino Offers Value-Laden Stay-and-Play Packages(HARRIS, Michigan) – Sweetgrass Golf Club – recently ranked by Golfweek as one of the state’s “Best Courses You Can Play” – announces, weather permitting, April 30 will be Opening Day for the 2009 golf season.
Owned and operated by the Hannahville Band of the Potawatomi Nation, the Paul Albanese-designed course – located in the unspoiled splendor of the Upper Peninsula – subtly pays homage to Native American lore throughout the championship layout. Historic bridges rescued from the region, intricate rockwork and a liberal sprinkling of its namesake sweetgrass add to the course’s unique look and feel.
The newest amenity to the Island Resort & Casino, Sweetgrass stretches to 7,300 yards from the tips and promises to challenge the best golfers, while the beginner-friendly forward tees measure a modest 5,000 yards. In all, five sets of tees accommodate golfers of all levels.
“The response to Sweetgrass Golf Club last season was incredible and we’re expecting an even greater reaction this season as the course continues to mature,” says Island Resort & Casino General Manager Tom McChesney. “Whether our guests are coming in for the day just to play golf or taking advantage of one-of-many stay-and-play packages and enjoying our restaurants and gaming, our staff is looking forward to making them feel right at home.”
Highlighting the stay-and-play packages is the Perfect 4-Some – which includes golfers’ choice of two or three nights at the luxurious Island Resort & Casino and three rounds of golf to be played between the brand new Sweetgrass Golf Club, TimberStone and Marquette Greywalls for as little as $249, based on double occupancy.
Off the golf course, the resort boasts the brand new, luxurious Palm Tower, which adds 162 spacious, well-appointed rooms and luxurious penthouse suites to the existing Sun Tower’s 113 rooms. Additionally, the Island Showroom hosts national acts, Club Four One nightclub and the Beachcomber Restaurant & Bar welcome guests looking to dine or quench their thirst, and the Vegas-style gaming floor was expanded with an additional 500 slot machines.
Sweetgrass Golf Club and the Island Resort & Casino are easily accessible via a pair of regional airports in Escanaba and Marquette. For more information on the course and resort, please visit www.islandresortandcasino.com/ or call 800-682-6040, ext. 2252.
