Railside Golf Club | Alder & Iron Restaurant

About Railside Golf Club | Alder & Iron Restaurant

This Byron Center gem sits along an old railway corridor, giving the course its name and a unique linear character that sets it apart from typical suburban layouts. The routing cleverly incorporates the former rail bed into several holes, creating natural elevation changes and strategic interest that many newer Michigan courses lack. The property's mature trees and varied topography provide a surprisingly engaging test that feels more established than many courses in the area. What really makes Railside worth the drive is the combination of solid golf and exceptional value – that 4.6 rating from over 300 reviews doesn't happen by accident. The attached Alder & Iron Restaurant elevates this beyond your typical muni experience, offering a legitimate 19th hole option that actually complements rather than detracts from the golf. Walking is encouraged here, which tells you everything about both the layout's walkability and management's understanding of what makes golf enjoyable.
