"One of the great highlights of golf…is the discovery of the hidden gems along the way. Go to Ireland for Ballybunion and, if you are lucky, you will happen upon the Dukes. Go to St. Andrews for the Old Course and, if your lucky, you will be pointed toward Crail. Go to Northern Michigan for Bay Harbor and, if you are very lucky, you will stumble onto Belvedere."
Brian Hewitt, Global Golf Post
Belvedere Golf Club, located in the historic resort town of Charlevoix, is one of Michigan’s most historic golf venues. The classic gem, designed by Willie Watson, cemented its place in Michigan golf history by holding the prestigious Michigan Amateur Championship a record 39 times. The 40th Amateur Championship returns to “the Belvedere” in 2014.
We invite you to experience this historic course like so many other legends of the game have. Legendary golfers like Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, Sam Snead, Ken Venturi, and Tom Watson have all been part of the unique history of this course.
Belvedere Golf Club offers a golf experience that is different from most of today’s modern courses. “Minimalist” is the best way to describe the course, which offers a fun and fast playing challenge for all levels of players.
If you are heading to Northern Michigan on a golf trip, make sure to experience Belvedere Golf Club. Take a trip back in time and play the game the way it was meant to be played.
