Traverse City Golf & Country Club

Overview: Traverse City Golf and Country Club is a private, parkland-style course close to downtown Traverse City. Its long-established fairways sit among mature trees and gently changing ground, giving the club a settled local character even as the course has continued to evolve. Current club information identifies a par-71 routing, while the 2020 work brought a new par-three ninth hole into the sequence. For golfers using Traverse City as a base, the course represents the city’s member-club tradition rather than the larger resort scale of the surrounding public destinations.

History: The club dates to 1915 and has been part of Traverse City’s golf life for more than a century. Its recent renovation programme, carried out with Renaissance Golf Design, refreshed the playing sequence and created the current par-three ninth. That work is best understood as an update to a long-running club course, not a replacement of its identity. The available sources do not name a dependable original architect or publish a single current total yardage, so those fields remain open while the documented club history stays intact.

Did You Know? The ninth hole was changed into a par three during the 2020 renovation. It gives the front of the course a modern punctuation point while keeping the club’s century-old setting close to downtown Traverse City.
