Fazio Premier Golf Course

at Treetops Resort Golf Club

Ranked as the 33rd best course in Michigan by Top 100 Courses in 2026 Location: Gaylord | Style: Parkland/Woodland| Length: 6,855 yards | Par: 71 | Designer: Tom Fazio

Opened in 1992, the Fazio Premier is a Tom Fazio-designed course in Michigan. Known for creating layouts that are as playable as they are beautiful, Fazio crafted the Premier with wide fairways, bold bunkering, and greens that encourage thoughtful shot-making.

Less extreme than the Masterpiece, the Premier still makes excellent use of rolling hills and tree-lined corridors. Golfers encounter subtle elevation shifts, sweeping fairways, and imaginative green complexes that reflect Fazio’s trademark style. The course consistently earns praise for its conditioning and variety, adding an important architectural dimension to Treetops Resort’s portfolio of championship courses.
