From the first tee of The Jewel to the relaxing chaise lounges around the serpentine swimming pool.
reservations

Golf

On The Jewel, you'll enjoy 18 scenic, challenging, but very playable golf holes.

Tennis

Play in our beautiful setting of four Har Tru based clay courts. Improve your game with lessons and clinics with our Tennis Pro that is on staff throughout the summer. Rental equipment is also available. Contact the tennis house for more information.

Swimming

The Esther Williams Swimming Pool is a favorite gathering place for guests. The heated 500,000 gallon, 220-foot long serpentine-shaped pool is ideal for sunning, swimming or just soaking up the beauty of the surrounding gardens. Poolside food and beverage service is available (seasonal). Guests are welcome to enjoy our sauna and two whirlpools, adjacent to the pool.



Fort Mackinac

Just a short stroll or ride away, Fort Mackinac is a National Historic Landmark where guides are dressed in period costumes. You'll witness cannon and rifle firing demonstrations, explore the real history of Mackinac in 14 original buildings filled with period settings, exhibits and videos. Enjoy a panoramic view of the harbor, and Grand Hotel service at the Fort Mackinac Tea Room.

Horseback Riding

Riding stables are located near the hotel. Mackinac Island features more than forty miles of bridle paths. Drive-yourself carriages are also available from local liveries.

Cycling

Bicycles, which can be rented at Grand Hotel's Tennis Shop, are ideal for exploring Mackinac Island at your own speed. Special Grand Hotel box lunches can be enjoyed at any of the picnic spots throughout the island.

We will be happy to arrange a tour of the island in a colorful horse-drawn carriage. This is a great way to discover Mackinac's rich heritage and natural beauty.
