Located just a short drive from Muskegon and Grand Rapids, the 18-hole Whitefish Lake course at the Whitefish Lake Golf Course Facility in Pierson, is one of the reasons The Mitten is known universally as one of the country’s best golf destinations. First opened in the 1920s as a private 9-hole club, Whitefish Lake underwent a full-service expansion and renovation in the mid-nineties, re-opening as one of the premier 18-hole layouts in all of Michigan. Now twenty years removed from its re-launch, golfers who visit Whitefish Lake will find an exquisite Jerry Matthew’s design highlighted with supreme conditions provided by the talented facility staff.
Playing just over 6,100 yards from the back set of tees, the course at Whitefish Lake will challenge and thrill golfers of every skill and ability level. Beautifully carved from the Northern Michigan countryside, each of the uniquely named 18 holes incorporate various natural hazards in their layouts including large sand bunkers, drastic doglegs, and water present on what seems like a majority of the holes. Carrying a course rating of 70.0 and measuring a slope of 128, the course’s signature hole, the aptly named par-5 “Just Trouble,” requires an accurate tee shot into a dogleg fairway followed an approach that avoids water on the left and bunkers on the right for a chance at a GIR. Keeping your ball in control on “Just Trouble” and throughout the rest of the course is an essential step to mastering this varied layout.
Not only is Whitefish Lake home to a great golf course, it also sports a huge variety of amenities designed to make your morning of fun last all day. Golfers can enjoy fine-tuning their skills on the practice driving range and putting green, and stock up on the latest accessories at the clubhouse pro shop. After your round, the Whitefish Bar and Grill is a must-visit with a delicious full menu of food and drinks. And, the onsite banquet facility, the Loon’s Nest, is an ideal picturesque spot to host your next wedding or private party.
