TRAVEL: Charlevoix is about 50 miles North of TVC Airport (Traverse City, MI) and the same distance South of PLN (Pellston, MI). Both are about a $100 taxi ride each way, so a rental car is advised. TVC has many more connection options from DTW (Detroit, MI) and ORD (Chicago, IL). Delta, American, and United Airlines serve TVC. Only Delta serves PLN.

LODGING: The Edgewater Inn, where the course sessions are held, is the best value in town.
