About this course
The Miners' Nine is a public 9-hole golf course in Iron River, Michigan, on the site of the old Hiawatha Mine in the Upper Peninsula. Formerly known as Iron River Country Club, the course was built by mining executives in the 1930s and stayed a private retreat for decades before new ownership reopened it to the public in 2025. The layout follows an original design credited to Langford and Moreau from golf's Golden Age, and multiple tee boxes let golfers play it twice for something closer to a full round. Grounds staff have been working to restore fairways and mow lines to their earlier condition. Beyond the course, Miners' Nine includes a restaurant and bar open to golfers and non-golfers alike, plus two Trackman golf simulator suites for year-round indoor play. It remains one of the more distinctive pieces of golf history in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
