Lake Michigan Hills Golf Club

Lake Michigan Hills Golf Club, established in 1969, is a classic design by Charles Maddox Sr. located in Benton Harbor, Michigan. The course was developed from a former fruit orchard and features lush tree-lined fairways with notable elevation changes that are atypical for the Great Lakes region. Consistently rated among the top public golf courses in southwest Michigan, Lake Michigan Hills has received a four-star rating from Golf Digest's Best Places to Play.

The course presents a timely challenge for skilled golfers while maintaining aesthetic appeal, with views from the elevated clubhouse overlooking the fairways. The clubhouse sits high on a bluff, providing scenic vistas across the property. Lake Michigan Hills served as the official qualifying venue for the Western Amateur from the 1970s through 2008, hosting numerous professionals during their amateur years, including notable players such as Payne Stewart, Mark O'Meara, Jack Nicklaus Jr., Lee Janzen, and Adam Scott. The venue has also hosted competitions including the Michigan Players Tour and Chicago Open qualifiers, establishing itself as a premier competition site in the region.
