Hidden River Golf and Casting Club

Hidden River Golf & Casting Club is a championship course located in Brutus, Michigan, situated 15 miles north of Petoskey and 12 miles east of Harbor Springs. Designed by W. Bruce Matthews III, the course has been ranked among Golf Week's "Best Courses You Can Play" for multiple consecutive years from 2013-2024.

The course employs a "Lay of the Land" fundamental design philosophy, featuring push-up greens and fairways that pitch and roll naturally across the landscape. The putting surfaces are characteristically small and strategically positioned on the high areas of the routing, creating an organic and natural aesthetic reminiscent of links-style golf. This design approach emphasizes working with the existing terrain rather than imposing artificial modifications.

Hidden River is recognized for its impeccable course conditions and exceptional service. The layout showcases the natural characteristics of northern Michigan's landscape, with architectural elements designed to challenge golfers while maintaining visual appeal. The course distinguishes itself from other northern Michigan venues through its commitment to course quality and member experience, complemented by on-site dining at Trovato Italian Restaurant and instruction from PGA Golf Professionals.
