Belvedere has been discussed on here on several occassions and I was intrigued by the course. So, my son and I journeyed to Charlevoix after two wonderful days at Kingsley last weekend to check it out. I will say that I really enjoyed my day there and so I thought I'd share some photo highlights. Overall, the course has very nice width and some interesting greens. Some of the holes have some really great natural land movement and are really standouts. Some of the holes lack these contours and are not quite as compelling.
Enjoy.

I enjoyed Belvedere. It is a very fun place to play. The par 5s are on the short side for the modern player and there are holes on flatter ground that are slightly less interesting. I hope you like the mini-tour.
