Another The Dual at The Loop is in the books, the 24th Dual to be exact. Congratulations to all the new members of The Loop 36ers club and overall champions Clay Vandermeeden and Josh Heiple who combined to shoot a 133. Ryan Pankiewicz and Jeff Brodsky took the net title with a 126. The lottery for the 2026 events will be held a month earlier in February next year. Stay tuned for more details.

@ShutFaceGolf @forestdunesgolf You are correct. I played with them the second round and was amazed at how good they were. One thing was very clear, they really paid attention on the first round and were able to execute very well on the plan they had put together. Great guys and fun to watch.

Golf Magazine has released its top public courses in the country and we are honored that The Loop was named the top public course in the great state of Michigan. The Loop was ranked No. 30 and Forest Dunes No. 64. A total of eight Michigan courses made the top 100 list. @GOLF_com https://t.co/u87Ksfer6U

What an honor to be named with these other courses!

[ForestDunesGolf @forestdunesgolf]

Some heavyweight contenders on this list and it's an honor to have The Loop listed among the 10.

@BrianLeFevre Everyone survived, we did get lucky and had more cloud cover keeping it from getting super hot.

[Robert Falconer @theloopsuper]

Great having Tom out to play in this awesome event.

Today the 20th The Dual at The Loop was held, giving contestants the rare opportunity to play both Red and Black routings in the same day. We had a special guest playing as the course's architect, Tom Doak, played in the event for the first time. He is already a member of the Loop 36ers Club after completing a 100-hole hike at The Loop the day before the official opening back in 2016. His team was paired with 4-time champions of The Dual event, Ray Ribitch (far left) and Ryan Boge (far right), both from Mount Pleasant. The event is still in progress, results will be posted soon.
