(HARRIS, Mich.) – The Island Resort & Casino – home to the award-winning Sweetgrass Golf Club – reports an 83 percent year-to-year increase in package sales, enhanced by the popular Perfect 4-Some.

The three-day, two-night package starts at just $249 and boasts golf at three of Michigan’s finest courses – Sweetgrass, Marquette Greywalls and TimberStone – with accommodations at the luxurious Island Resort & Casino.

Named a “Best New,” “Best Casino” and one of “America’s Best Courses You Can Play,” by leading industry publications, Sweetgrass has garnered prestigious awards since its 2008 debut.
