2 Michigan courses make Golf Digest's list of 'America's 100 Great Golf Courses'

Golf Digest released its updated list of "America's 100 Great Golf Courses" on Tuesday and two courses in Michigan made the list.

According to Golf Digest, the 2025-26 ranking is based on nearly 88,000 evaluations over the 10-year scoring cycle by course-ranking panelists. Then, the company's statistician determines the rest.

Two courses in Michigan made the list, but both were in the top 20.

Oakland Hills Country Club's South Course came in at No. 20, the same spot as its previous ranking.

The South Course reopened in 2021 after a restoration project by Gil Hanse. It hosted the U.S. Junior Amateur last year and will host the 2034 and 2051 U.S. Opens, plus several other USGA championships.

Crystal Downs in Frankfort came in at No. 15 on the list, dropping one spot from No. 14. It swapped places with Friar's Head Golf Club in New York, which moved from 15 to 14.

Another club near Michigan made the list. Inverness Club in Toledo was ranked No. 62. The club hosted the 2021 Solheim Cup and will also host the 2027 U.S. Women's Open and 2029 U.S. Amateur.

The last time Golf Digest released its list, Arcadia Bluffs was on the list, but it has since dropped off.

Below are the top 25 courses, according to Golf Digest.

Pine Valley Golf Club Augusta National Golf Club Cypress Point Club Shinnecock Hills Golf Club Oakmont Country Club Merion Golf Club - East National Golf Links of America Sand Hills Golf Club Pebble Beach Golf Links Fishers Island Club Chicago Golf Club Seminole Golf Club Winged Foot Golf Club: West Friar's Head Golf Club Crystal Downs Country Club Los Angeles Country Club: North The Country Club: The Main Course Riviera Country Club Muirfield Village Golf Club Oakland Hills Country Club: South Course Oak Hill Country Club: East Peachtree Golf Club Pacific Dunes Shadow Creek Prairie Dunes Country Club

New bar 'Meantime' opening in Midtown this week aims to be a place for community

The owners of Meantime, a new bar opening along Cass Ave. in Midtown Detroit this week, say their space is all about community with the goal of being a great neighborhood bar.

Erik Annonson, Brittney Carnahan and Elliot Hoffman took over the space formerly occupied by 8 Degrees Plato (3409 Cass Ave.), which closed in December. Those who visit Meantime will see a transformed space from what Plato used to be.

Annonson and Hoffman met each other while working in the coffee industry in California more than a decade ago. They both moved over to the brewery industry. After visiting Detroit, Hoffman and his partner, Carnahan, moved to the city. Annonson followed, moving to the city during the COVID-19 pandemic, sight unseen.

The trio originally planned to open a brewery  Side Pull Beer Company  but those plans have been put on pause so they could open Meantime.

Navigating the coffee industry before moving to the beer world, Annonson and Hoffman say they want Meantime to have an "anyone is welcome" vibe.

"Our goal is that we have a really fervent community of people who come on a regular basis and feel like, 'this is where I hang out when I want to get some work done. This is where I want to hang out if I'm on a date, if I have friends from out of town.' It's like, I want the central place where we can be together," Hoffman said.

"I wish for it to be, and I think we're going to make it happen in this direction, a place for people to come together and create communities, be a part of a community," Annonson added. "When I moved here, I literally just knew the two of them, and I met everyone I know through the bars and all that, so a place to be able to be a part of a place and part of the culture of the people we can gather."

A big part of that plan is the redesign of the 8 Degrees Plato space. According to Hoffman, Carnahan played a massive part with a mid-century modern style.

"She chose elements to break from a beer bar in general. From a human perspective, its something we strive for in service because its great to have knowledge about a product and share it, but detrimental when it becomes high-brow," Hoffman said.

Both Hoffman and Annonson have years of experience working at bars in Detroit. Hoffman previously worked at Eastern Market Brewing Company and Florian East, while Annonson worked at Collect Beer Bar.

Meantime will offer craft beers on tap, plus a variety of wines and mixed drinks, as they have a full liquor license. It will also have a case with beers, ciders and non-alcoholic drinks that can be purchased to drink at Meantime or taken to-go.

"We can cast a bigger net for people who just want to hang out in a space that's cool, but also we can do cocktails, we can do wine, which would have been a lot harder to do in the brewery aspect," Hoffman said.

Meantime also has two side pull taps. The taps are used for Czech lagers and pilsners. Hoffman said the taps allow them to better control the foam for the beer. According to Hoffman, that makes the beer more aromatic.

"So the more aromatic you make something, the better experience for a beer you'll have," Hoffman said

Their flagship beer Midwest Leisure  is a Czech pilsner brewed in collaboration with Florian East in Hamtramck. It's sold in a half-liter and comes in at 5.6% ABV.

The side pull also allows Meantime to offer Mlko shots. Mlko is the Czech word for milk. According to the website for Pilsner Urquell, a famous Czech beer, a Mlko is a glass filled with foam and a little beer at the bottom that "looks like milk and tastes sweet and smooth."

Meantime is also offering a "Pal membership" program that costs $80 for the first year and $60 for every year after. The sign-up is open through Memorial Day, and you can sign up in person at Meantime. The membership includes:

15% off everything in-house (draft, wine, mixed drinks, spirits) 25% off every in-house on Mondays 10% off merchandise $5 house lager (Midwest Leisure brewed in collaboration with Florian East $8 house lager and a shot of Old Grand-Dad $6 Coors Banquet and a shot of Old Grand-Dad Three annual parties

After two weekends of soft openings, Meantime officially opens Friday. After that, the bar will be open Thursdays through Mondays. People are also welcome to bring their own food, and they will also have different food pop-ups.

You can follow them on Instagram for more updates.
