Marquette Trails Country Club

Marquette Trails Golf Club, designed by Joe Balulis, Bill Kater, and Seth Bidwell, opened as a nine-hole course in May 1964. The back nine was completed in 1985 under the direction of Joe and Ed Balulis, creating an 18-hole layout. Located in Baldwin, Michigan, the course features fairways, water hazards, and sand traps designed to challenge golfers of varying skill levels.

The course has evolved significantly since its inception, with a new clubhouse and restaurant, The View, added in 1993, and condominiums developed in 1991. The Balulis family has owned and operated the facility since 1967, focusing on its continued growth in beauty and character. The course is characterized as fun and challenging, providing an accessible yet demanding golfing experience. Its design incorporates strategic hazards and varied terrain typical of Michigan's landscape, appealing to players seeking both playability and competitive challenge.
