Where to play, where to sleep and how to string together 45 holes in two days between Clare, Stanwood and Mt. Pleasant — including a 9-hole course you can walk to from bed.
Why a night in Lake, Michigan turns a seven-hour haul to Traverse City into two easy drives — and what to do with the afternoon you just got back.
Friday evening
Check in from 4 PM with the keypad code. The kids will find the mini-golf courses before you've found the light switches — both 18-hole courses are a short walk and one is fully accessible for strollers and grandparents.
Dinner on the deck: every cabin has a full kitchen and a gas grill. The Family Mini-Golf Weekend package puts a s'mores kit and fire-pit bundle in the cabin before you arrive.
Saturday
Morning: disc golf. Loaner discs are free at the clubhouse, the nine holes have grass tees and homemade targets, and nobody keeps score very seriously.
Afternoon: pick one — Budd Lake's swimming beach at Wilson State Park (20 minutes), a bike ride on the paved Pere Marquette Rail-Trail from Clare (15 minutes), or doughnuts at Cops & Doughnuts in downtown Clare and a slow drive through Amish country.
Evening: hot tub for the parents in Fairway or 19th Hole, ping-pong at the clubhouse for the kids, then the fire pit.
Sunday
One more round of mini golf before the 11 AM checkout. Ask about late checkout if the cabin isn't booked that night — midweek and shoulder season it usually isn't.
Questions
Is Cabins on the Green good for young kids?
Yes. The cabins are single-level with no stairs, the mini-golf courses are a short walk with no roads to cross, and one course is fully handicap accessible.
Do we need to bring golf or disc golf equipment?
No. Clubs, carts and discs are available at the clubhouse.
