Grand Haven Golf Club
Just a sharp 7-iron away from Lake Michigan, Grand Haven Golf Club was designed in 1965 by the legendary pioneer of Michigan Golf, architect Bruce Matthews Sr., whose vision now provides golfers with a near-perfect golf experience. Great shot-making skills are a prerequisite to navigate your ball around the towering pines and rolling sand dunes along the idyllic Lake Michigan shoreline. Rated among the Top 50 Public Golf Courses in the United States by Golf Digest for ten years, Grand Haven Golf Club maintains a ranking in the top one percent of courses in the entire nation. As the former home of the LPGA Shoreline Classic, this haven for grand golf proudly features emerald fairways and lightning fast greens.
Recently, changes have been made to improve the play and quality of this already-great golf course. As part of a major reconditioning program, the staff at Grand Haven installed a completely new "double row" irrigation system; they can now water "wall-to-wall" when necessary in order to maintain excellent playing conditions throughout the season. To challenge today’s big-hitting players, Grand Haven Golf Club added several new sets of tees, extending the length of the course by more than 450 yards. The numerous new tee boxes are not just for the big-hitters; there are several new ladies’ tees as well. In addition, the club completely renovated the practice area, making it much more conducive for working on the long and short game. Lessons are available from PGA-certified teaching professionals and the staff is always eager to assist you with any event or program you are putting together.

One of the best parts of Grand Haven Golf Club is its involvement with the Folds of Honor foundation. The Folds of Honor Foundation was founded in 2007 by none other than Major Dan Rooney of Grand Haven Golf Club, a former F-16 pilot, course owner, PGA Professional and USGA member. A Major in the Air National Guard and a decorated military aviator, Rooney has served three combat tours in Iraq. After returning from his second tour, Major Rooney witnessed a profound situation that drove him to create the Folds of Honor Foundation.
Folds of Honor is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a mission to empower deserving military families with educational support and opportunities. Their unique scholarships can be applied to schooling now or held by Folds of Honor on behalf of young children until needed at the time of enrollment.
