LEVEL SELECT: Champion Hill Golf Course Preview w/ Marco from The Scratch Golf Show

In Episode 28 of Must Play: Level Select, we’re heading to Beulah, Michigan, to preview a course that perfectly blends small-town charm with big-time golf character: Champion Hill Golf Course. Nestled in the rolling hills of northern Michigan, this is one of those rare courses that feels equally welcoming for casual players and compelling for experienced golfers chasing smart shot-making.

Joining us is Marco from The Scratch Golf Show, who helps us break down what makes Champion Hill a standout in a state loaded with top-notch golf. From wide, forgiving fairways that tempt you to swing away, to greens with subtle breaks that keep you honest, Champion Hill’s layout is strategic without ever feeling punishing.

We walk through Marco's first impressions of the course, dive into some reviews from around the internet, and see how it would fair against a few of the questions from the Must Play Test. Marco raves about how it manages to feel like a “hidden gem” despite being one of the most accessible public courses in the region. If you’re putting together a Michigan golf trip, this episode makes the case for why Champion Hill should be on your shortlist alongside the bigger names like Arcadia Bluff & Crystal Downs.

If you’ve been searching for a Champion Hill Golf Course preview, this episode covers what to expect: scenic views, approachable yardage, & friendly pricing!
