A Family Restaurant, Pub, and Gathering Place.

Inspired by the game of golf and a love for great food!

Mulligan’s is an Ingersoll family restaurant inspired by the game of golf and the Ingersoll’s love for great food. It’s a warm and friendly place featuring the best in thirst quenching beers, fine wines, and the warmth of getting together with friends.

We’re the 19th hole everybody heads to after a round of golf, during the workday for a delicious lunch, after work for the big unwind, or in the evening for a great three course meal.

At Mulligan’s, top-notch service is part of the experience. We’ve always got a smile for you, and the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to settle in, tell a few stories and order the best meal you’ve had in a long time.

So come and join us, bend an elbow, order your favorite food, tell a few fish stories, go over your round of golf, or your latest three put in the game of life. But most important, give yourself the one-footer once in a while.

Located in Cheboygan, Michigan, Mulligan’s is a landmark in food and entertainment in one of the most beautiful places in the Great Lakes. Cheboygan itself marks spot on the map where the Great Inland Waterway meets the Strait of Mackinac. Four seasons of outdoor fun abound here. Cheboygan and the entire region truly is the “Land of Lakes and Trails.”

Who was Mulligan anyway?

Of course, those who play golf and most other folks know the term to mean, essentially, a “do-over” where a golfer tees up another ball on the first tee when he or she doesn’t like the first one… with no penalty incurred. But who was Mulligan anyway?

Well, Mulligan is one young Mr. David Mulligan, a member of St. Vincent Golf Club in Montreal who in the 1920’s was known to be in the habit of dropping another ball whenever he made a shot not to his liking. He never noted the extra shot on his scorecard, and because his family was influential in the city no one ever called him on his bad behavior. They did, however, whisper about it to others. They told their friends at other clubs and the word spread. Eventually, by the mid-1930’s it became known as a Mulligan whenever a player took another shot without noting the true consequences. Nowadays, it’s common practice but only on the first tee and only once!

At Mulligan’s restaurant in Cheboygan, we believe Mr. Mulligan did a pretty big favor for all of us… so we named our restaurant after him. Hey, everybody gets a do-over once in a while.
