Hemlock Golf Club

Hemlock Golf Club is located in Ludington, Michigan, and was designed by internationally acclaimed golf course designer Raymond Hearn. The course represents Hearn's philosophy of creating visually pleasing layouts that harmoniously integrate with their natural environment. The design masterfully incorporates natural dune formations and majestic wooded areas throughout the layout, utilizing existing sand formations as natural-looking bunkers rather than contemporary artificial designs.

The course features notably challenging greens that run between 11-12 on the stimp meter with significant undulation, requiring familiarity with the layout to score well. Named holes including Top O' The Hill, Dune Beast, Northern Beauty, Mighty Oaks, and Peninsula showcase the varied terrain and strategic design throughout the round. The combination of large fairways, natural sand dunes, and forest creates a distinctive playing experience. The course is described as tough yet playable, offering a unique blend of beauty and challenge. Its award-winning design has earned recognition for successfully balancing aesthetic appeal with functional golf course architecture.
