A panoramic view of the breathtaking Thornapple River provides the backdrop for this expansive 18-hole course, featuring bent grass fairways and impeccably groomed tees and greens. The Bill Newcomb design winds and weaves over the natural terrain to provide a challenging arrangement of mostly par 4s and 5s with a number of bunkers and false fronts.
Thornapple Pointe's wide, sweeping fairways matched with the flexibility of multiple tees challenge the limits of your ability, while providing fair and enjoyable play. The 72-par course measures 6,821 yards from the back tees with a slope rating of 133 on bent grass. State-of-the-art satellite GPS systems come equipped on each cart to help keep you on track while offering yardage to each hole location and a layout of the course.
Spring time brings the course back to life with beautiful vegetation and wildlife along the 7,000 feet of river frontage running the length of the back nine. Golfers will be guided over gently rolling hills, through hardwood-lined fairways, and near three of the most enchanting, untouched wetlands found in the Midwest.
The Thornapple Pointe golf experience would not be complete without the attentive assistance of the club’s professional golf staff offering an array of lessons for every level of player. And don’t leave before visiting the fully-stocked pro shop or beautiful clubhouse with a delicious breakfast and lunch menu.
Thornapple Pointe Golf Club is the perfect down-the-street getaway for that much-anticipated day when the mercury rises just high enough to dust of the clubs and lace up the spikes.
