About this course
Hidden River Golf & Casting Club is located in Brutus, Michigan, about 15 miles north of Petoskey and 12 miles east of Harbor Springs. W. Bruce Matthews III designed the course, which opened in 1997 using a lay-of-the-land style with push-up greens and fairways that pitch and roll along the Maple River. It plays to a par of 72 and 7,101 yards from the back tees across six sets of tees. Towering pines, elevation changes and the winding river define the setting. Hidden River operates as a semi-private club, but public visitors are welcome during the golf season with advance tee time booking, and an on-site restaurant overlooks the river.

Chestnut Valley Golf Course
Harbor Springs, MI · 6.1 mi away
Chestnut Valley Golf Course is an 18 hole semi-private facility in Harbor Springs, Michigan. The course was designed by Larry Mancour and opened in 1994. It plays to a par of 72.

The front nine is carved through hardwood forest and plays tighter than the more open back nine.
Boyne Highlands Resort (Arthur Hills)
Harbor Springs, MI · 8.2 mi away
Arthur Hills Golf Course is one of four courses at Boyne Highlands Resort in Harbor Springs, Michigan, set in the rolling, wooded terrain of the northern Lower Peninsula near Little Traverse Bay. Designed by Arthur Hills and opened in 1995, the layout uses natural elevation change to create dramatic downhill tee shots and views across the surrounding hills, including the par-5 13th played from a ridge above the resort's ski slopes. The course favors width off the tee, with wide, bunker-lined fairways that narrow into small, contoured greens demanding precise approach play. Holes move through mixed forest and open meadow, giving each nine a distinct character. Operated as part of Boyne's resort golf program, Arthur Hills is open to resort guests and the public, with a full practice facility on site. Cart use is standard given the terrain, and tee times are best booked in advance during the short northern Michigan season.
