Manitou Passage Golf Club Homes for Sale
In the spring of 2009, a group of committed golfers with permanent or seasonal residences in Leelanau County purchased the course with the stated goal of drastically improving it and turning it into a destination course. The Homestead's owner, who has a lifetime of experience in resort development and operations, headed the group.
The course and clubhouse were designed by the Arnold Palmer Design Company of Orlando, Florida, and Peridian International of Newport Beach, California. Plainfield, Illinois-based Wadsworth Golf Construction Company was chosen to upgrade the course.
The team's breadth of experience is impressive: Palmer has designed 300 courses, Peridian has done land planning and landscape architecture at prestigious resorts such as Euro Disney and Disney World's Beach & Yacht Club and Grand Floridian, and Wadsworth, perhaps the country's most prestigious golf course construction company, has worked on 800 courses including Augusta National, Forest Dunes, Kiawah's Cougar Point, Osprey Point, and Turtle Point, Sea Pines Harbor Town, and Torry Pines. Golfweek's "Best New Courses" award was given to them for their efforts.
Manitou Passage Golf Club Community Highlights
Tour The Course
No. 1: 427 Yards, Par 4. There's a slight dogleg left here, and there are problems down the left side. The best approach to the green is from the right-center off the tee.
No. 2: 324 Yards, Par4. A tight left dogleg. The lengthier player does not require a driver. Again, the best approach angle is to the right. To carry the deep greenside bunker on the uphill approach, you'll need one additional club.
No. 3: 180 Yards, Par 3. Uphill Par 3 with water on the left side. Despite the fact that the tee shot is uphill, the hole normally plays downwind.
No. 4: 408 Yards, Par 4. Right-hand dogleg. Play the approach shot from the left side of the fairway, as this provides the optimum angle.
No. 5: 545 Yards, Par 5. Straightforward and long 5th hole For the lengthier player, it's possible to get there in two strokes. Aim your second shot at the faraway greenside bunker.
No. 6: 425 Yards, Par 4. With the addition of new tee boxes, this tee shot has become one of the most difficult on the course. From tee to green, native grasses flank the left and right sides of the fairway, making precision a must. For the optimum angle on the approach shot, aim the tee shot within the right fairway bunker.
No. 7: 200 Yards, Par 3. This stunning Par 3 has a dramatic downhill tee shot. The majority of the time, one or even two clubs are used less than the yardage. The greenside bunker on the left is a hazard.
No. 8: 570 Yards, Par 5. The hole that has become synonymous with us. Take a moment to admire the views of the Manitou Passage, North Manitou Island, and the Shoal Lighthouse to the northwest. For practically all golfers, a real three-shot hole necessitates a precise tee shot and a well-played second shot in order to have adequate yardage for a short iron third shot. Always be aware of the danger that lurks in front of the green.
No. 9: 394 Yards, Par 4. The hole has been lengthened by new tee boxes, making precision even more critical. Off the tee, aim towards the right center of the fairway to reach the crest of the hill that divides the fairway. The second photo provides a better view and angle.
No. 10: 550 Yards, Par 5. The left side of the fairway is guarded by a fairway bunker, while the right side is guarded by natural hardwoods. There is plenty of room off the tee, but the second shot must avoid the fairway bunker on the right, 150 yards from the green's center. To the left of the green, there is a decent bail-out area for failed approach shots.
No. 11: 377 Yards, Par 4. This is a medium-length Par 4 with a large landing area. It's best to stay away from the bunker on the left side of the fairway.
No. 12: 435 Yards, Par 4. The course's most difficult tee shot. Native hardwoods line the left side of the fairway and a penal bunker on the right side of the fairway at the landing area. To help long iron approaches stay on the putting surface, the green is slanted back to front.
No. 13: 194 Yards, Par 3. On the backside, the first Par 3 has two deep greenside bunkers that must be avoided. If you miss the green to the right, you'll have an easier chip to the narrow green.
No. 14: 395 Yards, Par 4. A well-placed tee shot avoids the fairway bunkers on the left and sets up the approach to the tiny green guarded on both sides by solitary trees, so accuracy is more crucial than length here. Long and incorrect approaches should be avoided, as new back bunkers await poorly struck short irons.
No. 15: 176 Yards, Par 3. This hole is the second of three inward Par 3s and plays slightly uphill to a sloping green. The tee shot of the player who under-clubs will be caught in the renovated front bunker. Before you pull your club onto the tee, check the wind direction.
No. 16: 435 Yards, Par 4. The revised tee boxes provide golfers with more alternatives for a less severe dogleg left, as well as the opportunity to fade off the tee. Because the hole plays uphill to a deep front-to-back sloping green, you can use as much club as you choose.
No. 17: 168 Yards, Par 3. The new tee boxes drop down the slope, adding to the allure of this scenic Par 3. The tee shot is around 80 feet downhill to a green flanked by two deep bunkers on the right. The tee shot requires at least two fewer clubs, but be aware of the prevailing wind, which often blows into the golfer and can cause confusion with club selection. As there is a new fairway extension to the front of the green, short is permissible.
No. 18: 525 Yards, Par 5. The last hole has been changed back to a risk-reward Par 5. Longer hitters have the option of going for the green in two or laying up to save par. Because the mounding will add yards to your tee ball, aim the tee shot to the right of the center of the fairway. A fresh mounding on the approach will add yards to your tee shot. A new bail-out area short and left on the approach gives an errant shot a chance at par. The clubhouse's magnificent new terraces are complemented by dramatic new terraced bunkers.
