Northport Point Golf Club

About Northport Point Golf Club

This public track sits in one of northern Michigan's most picturesque settings, where the rolling terrain and mature hardwoods create a classic Up North golf experience without the resort course price tag. The layout takes advantage of the natural topography, weaving through dense stands of maple and oak that frame most holes and demand accuracy over distance. What sets this course apart is its unpretentious character – it's the kind of place where locals have been playing for decades, and the conditioning reflects a no-frills approach that keeps greens fees reasonable. The real appeal here is the walking experience, which reveals subtle elevation changes and strategic options that aren't immediately obvious from the tee. Several holes offer glimpses of Grand Traverse Bay in the distance, and the peaceful setting feels worlds away from the crowds at nearby resort courses. If you're looking for championship conditions or dramatic architectural flourishes, look elsewhere – but if you want honest golf in a beautiful setting at a fair price, this is exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes exploring Michigan's golf scene worthwhile.
