Binder Park Golf Course

Binder Park Golf Course is a 27-hole public course located in Battle Creek, Michigan, divided into three distinctive nine-hole tracks: the Natural, Preserve, and Marsh. Originally opened in 1963 as one of Southwest Michigan's first 18-hole public courses on land donated by the Binder family, the course was expanded to 27 holes in 1999.

Set among Michigan's pristine old growth forest, wetlands, and scenic bluffs, the course features dramatic elevation changes and rolling terrain shaped by glacial deposits. The landscape presents a challenging yet accessible experience for golfers of all skill levels. Notable wildlife sightings are common, including deer crossing fairways.

The course is characterized by beautiful oak trees, numerous wetlands, and significant elevation variations that test both experienced and novice players. Modern facilities include a state-of-the-art driving range, 3-hole practice course, separate practice areas for putting and chipping, and an indoor golf training center. The First Tee program manages youth development initiatives at the facility, introducing hundreds of young golfers to the sport annually.
