About Bay Harbor Golf Club

Bay Harbor Golf Club is built around three distinct nine-hole courses — The Links, The Quarry and The Preserve — that can be paired into different 18-hole combinations, each with its own character.

Lake Michigan shaped the layout, and views of the water feature prominently in every routing. The lake also influences play itself, with shifting winds off the shoreline adding difficulty to shot-making.

The Links/Quarry combination runs close to the shore, keeping the lake in view for much of the round, while the back nine makes use of the rugged terrain of a former quarry that was retained in the design for a dramatic closing stretch.
