Chestnut Valley Golf Course

About Chestnut Valley Golf Course

Tucked away in Michigan's resort country, this Harbor Springs track punches well above its weight for a municipal course. The layout takes full advantage of the rolling Northern Michigan terrain, with elevation changes that give you genuine risk-reward decisions rather than the flat, predictable holes you'll find at most public courses in the area. What really sets it apart is the conditioning, the greens roll true and the fairways are surprisingly well-maintained for the price point, especially considering the heavy tourist traffic this region sees during peak season. The 4.6 Google rating from over 120 reviews tells you everything about the value proposition here. Walking is encouraged, which is how this course should be experienced, the routing flows naturally through the property and you'll actually enjoy the stroll between holes rather than feeling like you're hiking through a subdivision. It's the kind of course that locals guard as their secret weapon when out-of-town guests want to play somewhere memorable without paying Boyne or Bay Harbor prices.
