The Patriot is located west of exit 251 of I-75 on the south side of Grayling, just north of the US 127/I-75 junction.

The layout features narrow fairways bordered by heather and natural brush, along with those that are tree-lined over rolling hills with numerous wetlands in play and generous, undulating greens. There are sets of tees from 4,829 yards from the reds to 6,371 yards at the green tees, 70.7/131, course/slope ratings, designed by Jeff Forney in 1990.
