The Kingsley Club

About The Kingsley Club:

The Kingsley Club's golf course is designed, built, and maintained to take advantage of the unique landforms and remarkable soils of the site. The golf course is intended to play firm and fast to allow the contour of the ground to be an integral element of the play - the "rub of the green" may help or hurt you and the creative player will account for that and accept the challenge of golf similar to that of the links in the British Isles. The fairway surfaces are Fescue grass. Only three highly regarded courses in America, including the Kingsley Club, feature Fescue grasses similar to those in Scotland and Ireland. The greens are a combination of bent grass, forming a putting surface that is resilient, consistent in color and soft under foot, but fast with a Stimp meter range... from a relatively fast 9 or 10, to a very fast 11.5 or 12, when desired.

Within minutes of the clean, fresh blue waters of Lake Michigan and the turquoise-colored Grand Traverse Bays is Kingsley Club, Northern Michigan's premier golf course. Shaped by the flow of mammoth glaciers that carved out an array of basins and mountainous land masses millions of years ago, this parcel of the reconfigured wilderness gradually transformed into a spectacular, vibrant landscape that has beautified and nourished Traverse City and its environs with the proliferation of rolling hills, mountains, native grasses, rich soils, fresh waters, sand beaches, and pine forests. The club is committed to preserving and enjoying the environment and works closely with the Audubon Society.
