Golf courses in Bay Harbor, MI.

Bay Harbor, MI

Bay Harbor in northern Michigan opened in the late 1990s as an Arthur Hills design on the shore of Little Traverse Bay. The property was previously an industrial site tied to a cement operation, and the old quarry workings were kept as golf features. There are three nines: Links, Quarry and Preserve, played in rotating combinations. The Links holes run along bluffs above the bay, the Quarry holes drop into the excavated ground with rock walls in play, and the Preserve holes move inland through woods. The club is semi-private, with public tee times available, and holes sit alongside a resort residential community.

The Preserve nine at Bay Harbor Golf Club, part of a 27-hole Arthur Hills complex in Bay Harbor, opened in 1997 and routes through hardwood forest before opening to views of Little Traverse Bay. It is typically combined with the club's Links or Quarry nines to form an eighteen-hole round for resort guests. The wooded, rolling terrain contrasts with the more exposed scenery on Bay Harbor's other nines. Operated as part of Boyne Golf's Bay Harbor resort, the course emphasizes a gradual transition from forest to shoreline.
