About Dream Golf Course
The Dream Golf Course sits in West Branch, in northern Michigan, and was carved from 312 acres of hardwood forest, with the trees framing play throughout the layout.
The course is part of a group of northern Michigan tracks that also includes The Nightmare, known for unusually wide fairways, and The Quest in Houghton Lake, an 18-hole layout spread across rolling, open terrain.
