Shoop Park Golf Course

Shoop Park Golf Course is situated directly on the shores of Lake Michigan, with water forming the eastern boundary of the course. The north end features views of the Wind Point Lighthouse, which is visible from every hole and serves as a distinctive landmark guiding both ships and golfers. Originally donated by Dr. Shoop, the course was established primarily for junior golfers, a legacy reflected in its continued hosting of the annual junior golf academy. The course offers nine holes and is characterized by cooling winds off Lake Michigan, creating favorable summer playing conditions. The natural lakeside setting and lighthouse views make Shoop Park notable for both its golfing experience and scenic beauty, attracting golfers and photographers seeking the course's distinctive aesthetic qualities.
