About us
Its Scottish charm and elegance are captured in the rolling hills and four championship golf courses and combine as the ideal destination for meetings, retreats and weddings. The Highlands at Harbor Springs earned recognition as "Best Golf Venue" from readers of Michigan + Events Magazine and is able to accommodate groups of up to 600 with its facilities, including the Country Club of Boyne, offering flexible meeting options--many with views of the mountainside and golf courses. In addition to a variety of accommodations, the resort delights visitors with 72 spectacular holes of golf, savory cuisine, horseback trail rides, biking trails, tennis, scenic chairlift rides, Zipline Adventure, paddle boating, and snow sports.
