Dunmaglas Golf Course

Overview: Dunmaglas Golf Course is a public 18-hole Larry Mancour and Chuck MacGillidary design in Charlevoix, Michigan. The current directory record lists par 72 and 6,901 yards, while published Michigan tourism material lists a different 6,779-yard tip setup; both are retained as evidence of changing tee records rather than treated as interchangeable. The course occupies a large tract of rolling Northern Michigan terrain with wooded corridors, elevation changes and views toward Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan. Its Scottish theme is expressed through the open ground and shaping, but the strongest identity comes from the scale and isolation of the property.

History: Dunmaglas opened in the early 1990s and is consistently attributed to Larry Mancour and Chuck MacGillidary. The course was developed as a Scottish-themed layout on roughly 800 acres, using the natural rises and falls of the Charlevoix landscape to create a sequence of elevated views and demanding lies. Published records differ on whether the opening should be dated 1991 or 1992, so the profile retains the directory's 1991 value while the supporting course record documents 1992 as an alternate. That qualification is important because the design identity is clear even when historical databases use different opening conventions.

Did You Know? Dunmaglas looks toward two Great Lakes, Charlevoix and Michigan, from its high Northern Michigan ground. The name and Scottish theme suggest links golf, but the pronounced elevation changes make the course a distinctly inland Michigan experience.
