 | In The News ... Lake Michigan Hills Golf Club, a MichianaGolf.com 5-Star Certified Course
Lake Michigan Hills Golf Club has earned a reputation as one of the top golfing destinations in all of Michiana. For years the course has been a "Qualifier" for the Western Amateur Open; the 2nd biggest Amateur Tournament in the country.
Lake Michigan Hills has it all for the golfing challenge. There are some short Par-3's, Par-4's, and Par-5's; and there are some long Par-3's, Par-4's, and Par-5's. For example, from the shorter White tees, Hole # 3 is a Par-3 with 124 yards that goes slightly downhill. In contrast, Hole # 17, also a Par-3, has 187 yards going wayyyy uphill and plays more like 215 yards!
Hole # 11 is a Par-4 of only 303 yards (but careful of the trees, water & bunkers), while Hole # 1 is a Par-4 of 419 yards with a slight dog-leg right. You get the picture.
Water comes into play on about half the holes with occasional sandtraps along some fairways. Every green is fairly large and surrounded by bunkers. Once on the greens, the deception begins. Try to get close because the undulations, tilted land, and outright sloping of almost every green makes putting treacherous. The greens break true, but they are not always obvious.
From the Blue tees and certainly from the Black tees, the player will likely get the chance to play every club in the bag. On a few holes, a very good drive will still require a long, accurate approach shot. A good score at Lake Michigan Hills is one to treasure. For the less-gifted golfer, the White tees are advised.
Yardages play as follows: 5,284 yards from the Red tees, the Whites are 6,094, it is 6,507 yards from the Blues, and the Blacks measure 6,884 yards. But the yardage is just the beginning. The word "Hills" is in the name for a reason! Most holes feature rolling terrains with a few that are either up, or down, hill.
The condition of the course is very good, fast and true. The player can expect some roll on their drives and greens that will hold a quality approach shot.
Lake Michigan Hills Golf Club amenities include a Driving Range, Practice Putting & Chipping Greens, Pro Shop, Golf Carts, a Snack Shop "at the turn", available Golf Lessons, a fully-stocked bar and Banquet Hall.
Experience great golf with a challenge that's just right for you. Lake Michigan Hills is a 5-Star Course for good reason. Find out why ... and bring your friends!
