Petoskey - Bay View Country Club
About Petoskey - Bay View Country Club
Petoskey-Bay View Country Club sits across from Little Traverse Bay, a short drive from downtown Petoskey. The club was founded in 1915, and its golf course was laid out by the architectural team of Willie Watson and Tom Bendelow — Watson went on to design nearby Belvedere Golf Course soon after completing his work here.
A member club with a long-standing tradition, it maintains a relaxed, family-oriented atmosphere. The historic clubhouse looks out over Little Traverse Bay and offers sit-down dining for members and guests.
