Play it... From the tips!!! Great views and a tough; very tough challenge...great staff, small clubhouse but no waisted space, plenty to choose from with the LochenHeath logo... The restaurant is a solid 5 star, the food is some of the best I've ever had at a golf course... The outside patio views also are pretty great over looking the east traverse bay... This place is a little gem... Tons of slope on the greens so if the superintendent is in a bad mood it'll be a very very difficult day on the course.

Very dynamic and perfectly maintained golf course - not a boring shot out there. What really made this 5 stars was the awesome, warm hospitality of Patrick in the pro shop, and Terry the head pro. We had just flown in and were pretty beat, so their pleasant demeanor and attentiveness to any need was welcomed. Not only that, but since the beer cart was done for the day, they personally delivered beer and water to our group on the course. We will absolutely return. Above and beyond service. You set the bar high! Thanks guys.

9/2020 - went for lunch on an early fall afternoon during the pandemic & ate outside. Good social distancing practices & great service. We both had Chef Eric's morel bisque, again (see a review from last year below), which continues to be awesome. Also had the heirloom tomato capresé salad - it too was fantastic! And believe it or not, the cup of coffee I had was memorable (very smooth & silky, & I prefer dark roast). The view overlooking the course & East Grand Traverse Bay was fantastic. Though expensive ($69 for 2 without any alcohol), for a special treat, it's worth it, which is why I changed my prior rating from last year from 4 to 5 stars. 7/2019 - Went for lunch on a Saturday with a large group. Was promptly seated & generally had good service. Great view. Everyone loved their entreés, especially Chef Eric's signature morel bisque. Water glasses were always filled. The only glitch was that our server was the only one bringing out our meals, so 5 trips ...

Had dinner at Lochenheath...and it was superb. The Delmonico steak was incredible, tender, juicy, seasoned perfectly served with a special potato, and carrots that were roasted and honey glazed...hats off to the staff and the chef, this was better than most of the very high end steakhouses that we visit. A real treat for sure.

Very challenging but well maintained course that rewards well placed shots. Can’t wait to get another shot at it!
