Lakeside Links Golf Course (West/South)

Overview: West/South is the third Lakeside Links combination in this wave, joining two of the Ludington property’s three nine-hole layouts. The course is close to downtown and the Lake Michigan shoreline, while the holes themselves turn through the quieter ground around Hopkins Lake, with water and woodland views shaping the scenery. The West loop and the South loop create a varied 18-hole day without the formal scale of a large resort. That makes the routing useful for golfers who want to add a flexible local round to a Ludington trip built around beaches, dunes and coastal towns.

History: The Lakeside Links operator describes more than 50 years of golf at the property and a current 27-hole layout consisting of three distinct nines. West/South is therefore an exact course combination, not an accidental duplicate in the directory. The current facility story is clear about the number of holes, the location and the public welcome, but it does not establish a dependable single architect or first-opening date. Keeping those fields blank protects the profile from mixing facts belonging to another nine or another course in the region.

Did You Know? Lakeside Links is built around choice. The property has 27 holes, but the golfer’s 18-hole route can change, giving West/South a different sequence and feel from the South/East or West/East pairings.
