Squirrel Hollow Golf Club ☆ Follow

Squirrel Hollow Golf Club is a nine-hole facility located in Battle Creek, Michigan, owned and operated by Jenny Andrews, who purchased the course in 2016. The course is marketed as a non-traditional golf experience, designed to be accessible and challenging for players of all skill levels. It operates as a public course with a membership model that includes unlimited golf and cart access, alongside walk-up rates for non-members. The facility is notable for being one of the very few women-owned golf courses in the United States.

The layout consists of nine holes, which can be played as a single round or combined with a second nine to create an 18-hole experience. The course features a unique "Cross-Country" outing format where the nine holes are transformed into a creative, longer layout, sometimes turning holes into par 5s. Pricing for the course includes options for playing with a cart or walking, with specific rates for nine and 18 holes. The course is closed on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings for league play, with the latest tee time for open play at 4:00 p.m.

Squirrel Hollow hosts a variety of special events and tournaments throughout the year. These include the "Superintendent's Revenge," an annual event during Customer Appreciation Weekend featuring creative pin placements and tricky setups. Other notable events include "Big Hole" golf, where nine holes are fitted with oversized cups, and the "Cross-Country Outing." The course also hosts a Murder Mystery Golf Outing in partnership with Whatado Theater, where players solve a "whodunit" while playing. Seasonal events include Glow Golf nights, Patio Nights with live music and food trucks, and the Bloom & Birdie Mother's Day Event.

The course is supported by a team including a superintendent, Jason Bass, who is responsible for course maintenance, and an operations manager, Chanelle Bercaw, who is a Michigan Certified Pesticide Applicator. The facility also features a clubhouse that can be rented for events and hosts various social gatherings, including a Winter Comedy Series and Music Bingo. The course offers multiple league options, including men’s, women’s, and mixed scramble leagues, as well as specific leagues for educators. Memberships are available for singles, couples, and families, with additional options for seniors and walkers.
