About Bay Harbor Golf Club
Bay Harbor Golf Club, located near Petoskey, Michigan, is a premier golf destination that offers a unique and unforgettable golfing experience. Designed by renowned architect Arthur Hills, the club features three distinct courses - The Links, The Quarry, and The Preserve - each with its own character and charm. The Links course, situated along the shoreline of Lake Michigan, lives up to its name with windswept dunes and dramatic bluffs that provide stunning views. Golfers feel like they’re playing along the ocean while enjoying the incredible scenery. The Quarry course winds through a massive shale quarry, offering the chance to navigate 40-foot gorges, stone cliffs, and tranquil mountain ponds. The Preserve, while perhaps not as well-known as its sister courses, is a favorite among members, thanks to its winding path through native wetlands filled with wildlife and the soothing sounds of crashing waves. The 18th hole, a par 3 with a large green that slopes to the left, is a particular highlight. Boyne Resorts, the parent company of Bay Harbor Golf Club, is dedicated to improving the infrastructure and playing conditions of its courses. Recent upgrades include a state-of-the-art irrigation system, new cart paths, and measures to speed up play. The biggest news is the upcoming redesign of the Ray Hearn short course, featuring nine holes ranging from 8 to 120 yards, allowing golfers to tee off from anywhere they choose. With first-class conditions and staff for both the pro shop and the restaurant, a visit to Bay Harbor Golf Club is sure to impress. Whether one is a seasoned golfer or a newcomer, this golfing destination, known for its flawless courses and breathtaking views, is a must-visit for anyone exploring the golf courses of Northern Michigan.
Played links/quarry. Beautiful well maintained golf course. Fabulous views. Nice clubhouse. Pro shop employees helpful and nice. Play was aggravatingly slow. Arrived at the course 90 minutes early to use the range, no carts available (seriously?). Cart available 20 minutes before our tee time, but there were no balls at the range. For the price we paid, this was silly. Unloaded our clubs when we arrived, when we left he was playing on his phone, we ended up loading our own clubs to leave. After we tipped him. Although this is a beautiful place, after this experience, no thank you.
Very pretty golf course right on Lake Michigan. The lakeviews hit right away.
I thought the quarry course was harder than the links, but both are a good challenge for most intermediate levels and above. The quarry course ends nicely on the Lake too, which i didnt expect. The links course it extremely fun and diverse. Nice kids was working the carts/maintenance shop. This was well worth it for our 6:10 tee time rate under $200.
Great course and wonderful attendants.
