Interlochen Golf Club

The Natural Beauty of Interlochen Creates a Memorable Golfing Experience

Golfers who regularly play the courses of the Traverse City area agree that the Interlochen Golf Club is one of the most scenic and lush course in the region. Laid out through a mature forest of large mixed hardwoods and white pines, Interlochen challenges the weekend golfer and lowhandicapper alike with strategically-placed bunkers and water hazards that make the course a club selector’s delight. Precision shotmaking and good course management are at a premium at Interlochen.

A mature course, the velvet greens and lush fairways of Interlochen are immaculately groomed so that the challenge is always fair. Golfers are also treated to the natural abundance of Northern Michigan Wildlife. It is not uncommon to see white-tail deer, wild turkeys and a gathering of wild Canadian geese. A peaceful tributary of the Betsie River winds throughout the course adding its own watery touch of beauty and charm.

The Toughest Holes

The back-to-back 12th and 13th holes are the toughest on the course. The 12th Hole is a 530-yard par five with water located on the right side of the fairway and in front of the green. There’s also a heavy swamp area in the back of the green. The 13th Hole is the number-one handicap hole. It’s a 455-yard par four. It takes a 260-yard drive to set up a good approach shot to the green. It’s heavily wooded on the right side so a golfer must stay left to have a chance at par.

Rated one of the top 100 best value courses in America!

Grand Traverse Resort – The Bear

Designed by golf great Jack Nicklaus, The Bear is our best-known golf course and described as one of the toughest in the Midwest. You’ll quickly appreciate this beautiful par 72, links-style course featuring Scottish terraced fairways, tiered greens, deep grassy roughs, moguls, mounds, and deep pot bunkers. Lakes, ponds, hardwood forests, streams, and fruit orchards are home to a variety of wildlife that give The Bear its character: golf in the midst of wild nature. Listen to what two of golf’s legends have to say about The Bear:

“The people who play here are going to have a challenge and also have some fun, whatever level of golfer they might be…with rolling land, trees, lakes, streams and flatland, you have a mixture of different features that you rarely see on one course. That’s what makes this course unique. No two holes are similar.” – Jack Nicklaus

“The Bear is one of the great golf courses we play. The thing that makes this course so great is that it can be set up as tough as you want. This course challenges you on every shot. This is the way golf courses should be designed.” – Chi Chi Rodirguez, winner of the 1990 Ameritech Senior Open
