In 1937, the Chicago Club sold the course to the City of Charlevoix for just $1, turning what was once a private retreat into a public muni. Following the ownership change, the course returned to nine holes to keep operating costs down and has been owned and run by the city ever since. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a fabric of the community, cherished by many.

Tucked seamlessly into the quaint lakeside town, this 9-hole muni is about as classic as they come. Gentle rolling fairways, mature trees, small greens, and a timeless layout that offers enough challenge for golfers of all skill levels. It's easily walkable, incredibly affordable, and full of character. It’s the kind of place where you can throw a few clubs over your shoulder, enjoy a peaceful walk, and appreciate the simplicity of the game. Good old-fashioned golf as it was meant to be.
