Several great golf options near Saugatuck

For those who love to golf, Saugatuck / Douglas has plenty to offer, all within a 20 min drive.

I have golfed at each of these courses, multiple times, and can recommend each one for different situations.

All three courses are public, and have green fees ranging from $40 to $90 for eighteen holes, depending on the season and day of the week.

Ravines Golf Club

Ravines Golf Club is the nicest and more challenging of the three, It was designed by Arnold Palmer, and is about 10 min from town. I tend to go there once or twice each season, especially when I want a change of pace from Hawkshead, or something a bit more challenging

Hawkshead

Hawkshead is my personal favorite of the local courses, it is a Links style golf course, and about 20 min drive from Saugatuck/Douglas, towards South Haven. It plays pretty fast, has an open layout, and when no one is around can be completed in about 3 hours.

Clearbrook

Clearbrook, is the most convenient, very close to town, at only a 5 min drive from town, and also least expensive. I tend to go here when I want to play a quick nine holes, or with my son, who is 10 years old. This course plays easier than the other two courses, and you can take your time with family play. Lots of families and locals play here.

Additional golf courses?

I hope this was helpful. Did I miss your favorite golf course? I did play Thousand Oaks near Grand Rapids a few years ago, and want to check out Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, which I hear is nice.

e-mail me at SaugatuckVacationRentals@gmail.com with any feedback, or a suggestion of which courses to add. Hope you enjoy!
