“By late April, it was 30,000 rounds, and we will end up doing over 36,000 rounds in 2022, our best summer for a five-month season,” he said. Mancilla went on to say that recent accolades for the two golf courses and the positive impact of resort renovations and other Island Resort & Casino efforts have increased demand from 2,000 pre-bookings by the end of February 2021 to 16,000 by the same time in 2022. “This was about 2,000 rounds that would pick up through the spring.” “During a normal golf season pre-pandemic, people would start booking packages in February,” said Tony Mancilla, General Manager of the resort.

And with the sport's continued rise in popularity, the resort is experiencing high demand for hotel rooms and golf, which has put golf package pre-sales on pace to surpass 2022's sales. The newly expanded Island Resort & Casino is coming off a record-breaking year in golf rounds. Home to award-winning Sweetgrass and Sage Run golf courses and located just outside of Escanaba in Michigan’s breathtaking Upper Peninsula, Island Resort & Casino announces 2023 golf packages are now available.

Harris, MI – While golf season is over six months away, now is the perfect time for golfers to start locking in summer golf vacations.
