Lakeside Links Golf Course (West/East)

Overview: The West/East routing at Lakeside Links gives golfers two of the property’s three nine-hole loops in one 18-hole day. The course lies close to Ludington and Lake Michigan, yet the playing ground is organised around Hopkins Lake, woodland edges and gently rolling fairways rather than a resort boulevard. The West nine supplies its own local identity, while the East loop adds a different sequence of holes and views. Together they create the kind of flexible northern Michigan round that works for a visiting group, a repeat local player or anyone using Ludington as a coastal base.

History: Lakeside Links has been part of the Ludington golf landscape for over 50 years and now operates as a 27-hole facility. Its three nines are combined in different ways, which is why the exact West/East directory record deserves its own profile instead of being collapsed into a generic property page. The operator’s current history and course information establish the three-loop structure, the location and the public character, but do not provide a reliable architect or date for the original construction. Those fields are intentionally left open.

Did You Know? The West/East pairing is one of three possible 18-hole days at Lakeside Links. A golfer can return to the same Ludington property and still play a different sequence by changing the nine used.
