For more than 90 years, the Belvedere Golf Club in Charlevoix has been a historic landmark in Northern Michigan, and this summer the club, members, and local officials paid tribute to that history with a re-dedication ceremony.

The event recognized the recent restoration work done to the William Watson-designed course, a project which made use of the original lost plans that were found last summer during the demolishment of an old building in Charlevoix. While aerial photos existed from the late 1930s, there was no actual documentation of the original parkland design with its classic flowing fairways, strategic bunkers, and subtle greens.

Upon your arrival, you will notice many nautical-themed elements are brought in to play around the Clubhouse and golf courses.  
Rather than using traditional flags on The Links, Quarry, and Preserve course, the burgee (a triangular flag flown from the mast of a ship for identification) was chosen to represent Bay Harbor Golf Club along with the traditional nautical colors of red, blue,…
