About North Star Golf Course
North Star Golf Course is an 18-hole, par 70 layout in Ithaca, Michigan, set up to suit players across a range of skill levels.
The course dates to 1965, when Adrian Cook built the original nine holes; a second nine followed in 1971, bringing the course to its current 18. It has been family owned and operated throughout its history, with the Smith family purchasing the course from the Cook family in 1988.
