The Course Revered for great routing, strategic merit, and scenic beauty, our effortlessly walkable 18-hole course boasts an incredibly forward thinking classic design featuring a compelling combination of distance, challenge and reward. MGC's classic 100+ year-old turf was fully replaced in 2020 with pure bent grass on all tees, fairways and greens—providing vastly improved playing surfaces that are more disease-resistant and less susceptible to winter damage. The recent renovation harmonized the original Willie Park Jr./Donald Ross design with modern enhancements that recapture original green contours, integrate more interesting hole locations and expand many of the fairways to enhance playability. Combine this with a state-of-the-art irrigation system and modern drainage system on the greens and our golf course is now best in class. Meet Our Golf Staff | |
