Crystal Mountain Resort is the site of the Michigan Women's Open which has been held there on the Mountain Ridge Course for the last eight years. Crystal Mountain has been a year-round family playground for more than 50 years and began as a ski resort in 1955.

Family fun is the mission here and swimming, bicycling, golf, downhill skiing and two championship golf courses make this array of 4 season opportunities a superb destination with something for the whole family. The Mountain Ridge course plays up, down and around the ski hills with exciting climbs in excess of 200', offering vistas that can distract one from the joys of playing a championship track through the tall timber of Northern Michigan. The tree-lined fairways and vast waste areas of Mountain Ridge is playable for every golfer as the variety of tees guarantees that no player needs to be taken out of his/her skill level.

Accommodations include cabins, condos and a gorgeous lodge with spacious, elegant suites complete with Jacuzzis. Spa services are available and the dining is superb with nightly specials and a wine list which makes oeniphiles take notice.

Crystal Mountain provides a level of hospitality and service which will encourage guests to return again and again as the seasons offer up outdoor activities that only the pristine land of Northern Michigan can provide. No regrets.
