The Michigan Golf Course Owners Association has selected TimberStone Golf Course in Iron Mountain as the 2004 Golf Course of the Year in the State of Michigan. ³The Course of the Year award winners come from MGCOA¹s core membership, which make an outstanding contribution to the game of golf in their markets, and are model operations to their peers², this according to MGCOA officials.
Four criteria were considered when determining the MGCOA choice for course of the year; exceptional quality of the course, exceptional quality of ownership and management, outstanding contribution to its community and significant contribution to the game. Susie Fox, Director of Golf at TimberStone presented the story of ³The Little Course That Could², and how TimberStone demonstrated or fit the criteria the board was looking for.

It is with great pleasure that I inform you that TimberStone Golf Course has been selected by the Michigan Golf Course Owners Association¹s Golf Course of the Year 2004. The vote by the selection committee was unanimous. Congratulations!
