Pinecroft Golf Course

About Pinecroft Golf Course

Tucked away in the rolling hills of Benzie County, this hidden gem sits about 15 minutes inland from the Lake Michigan shoreline, offering a surprisingly mature and well-conditioned golf experience that punches well above its weight class for a small-town municipal course. The layout makes excellent use of the natural topography, with elevation changes that create interesting approach shots and strategic decisions off the tee, while the tree-lined fairways demand accuracy without feeling overly penal. What really sets Pinecroft apart is the exceptional value and walkable design – you'll get a legitimate 18-hole golf experience without the pretense or price tag of the resort courses closer to the water. The 4.6 Google rating from locals tells the real story: this is a course that rewards repeat play, with subtle greens and smart hole designs that reveal new challenges as you get to know them. It's the kind of place where you can show up without a tee time on a Tuesday afternoon and walk off feeling like you discovered something special.
