Pierce Lake Golf Course
About Pierce Lake Golf Course
Pierce Lake Golf Course is an 18-hole championship layout in Chelsea, Michigan, designed by Harry Bowers. The property is marked by rolling terrain and open views, and the course is playable for a range of skill levels.
The front nine is the more approachable of the two, while the back nine plays tougher as it works its way through wooded ground and wetlands.
The course sits between the city of Chelsea and I-94, making it straightforward to reach from points around southeastern Michigan, and amenities are available to players before and after a round.
