Travel Golf September 2010
"Manitou Passage Golf Club is a destination course well deserving of a second life [redesign]. It's certainly worthy of inclusion among northwest Michigan's top 10 plays and offers a daily fee price tag lower than most of the resort courses in the area."
Michigan Golf Magazine August 2010
"Bob Kuras, president of The Homestead, has always dreamed of having an 18-hole golf course at his beautiful Homestead Resort in Glen Arbor. He's well on his way to making the dream a reality."

"Located near Sugarloaf in the vicinity of the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, this layout is visually stunning and quite exciting to play - true mountain golf! The rolling terrain is formed from hillsides and mountain ridges providing spectacular elevation changes, with manicured tree lined fairways leading to wonderfully conditioned green complexes. Simply put - this is a "must play" golf course for anyone visiting remotely near the Traverse City area."
Jim Barnes, TCGolfBogger 2010
"If you are looking for a golf adventure in one of the most unique settings in northern Michigan, this is the course for you. Be prepared to cast off, trim your sails, and have a rollicking good time navigating this great Arnold Palmer creation."
Tucker, MichiganGolf 2010
"With a few dozen northern Michigan golf courses under my belt, I've played a lot of worthy par 5s, from pure three-shotters to the shorter risk-reward holes. I've narrowed it down to five of my own personal favorite par 5s." Manitou Passage Golf Club, No 8. Brandon

"With so few courses north of M-72 and west of Traverse City, Manitou Passage will clearly stand above all of the public venues on the Leelanau Peninsula and may well compete as one of the best places to tee it up in northwest Michigan."
Brandon Tucker, Worldgolf 2010
"...what I remember... was a handful of low-lying holes through thick woods and ponds, as well as some rolling holes and elevated tee shots. The par 5 8th hold had a mighty of an elevated/blind tee shot as there is in the area, and it's since been enhanced... it should turn into the signature hole."
