The Mines Golf Club opened in August 2005 with 18 holes and a full practice facility. The Mines was selected by Golf Digest as the tenth "Best New Public Golf Course Under $75" in 2006. It is located above a portion of the old gypsum mines, 5 minutes from the heart of downtown Grand Rapids. The site features mature hardwoods, rolling terrain, and sandy soils. The Mines is a par 70 that measures 6701 yards, with a slope of 137. The course is generally forgiving on the tee shots and playable through the green. A good short game will help lower your score. We hope to see you soon!

A nine hole, par three course is currently under construction. The course is scheduled to open in 2009. The holes will range from 90 yards up to 225 yards. Located at the north end of the driving range, it will provide a great range of shots, be affordable, timely, and a great course to learn, or improve, the game.
