Harbor Point Golf Club

Overview: Harbor Point Golf Club brings a refined, old-school resort character to the Lake Michigan shore near Harbor Springs. The official scorecard lists 18 holes, par 71 and 5,881 yards from the black tees, with shorter tees that keep the round comfortable for a wide range of players. Its appeal is the balance between playable parkland movement and the visual presence of the lake: mature trees, shaped fairways and selected water views give the course a sense of occasion without the scale of a large resort complex. The setting makes it a natural companion to Boyne Highlands and the other Harbor Springs courses.

History: Harbor Point operates as a semi-private club with public play available in specific spring and autumn windows. That seasonal structure is part of the course’s identity, as it preserves a members’ club atmosphere while still allowing visitors to experience a classic northern Michigan layout. The club has hosted Michigan Amateur qualifying, GAM women’s championships and other regional events, evidence that its modest length does not make it a lightweight test. Since the current sources do not establish a reliable founding date or architect, the profile keeps the history focused on the documented club tradition and tournament role.

Did You Know? Harbor Point has been recognised as a strong walking course, and the club describes a typical round as taking roughly three to three and a half hours. Its lake views are therefore part of a compact, walkable experience rather than a long resort expedition.
