Cedar Chase Golf Club sits in Cedar Springs, a small community in west-central Michigan roughly twenty miles north of Grand Rapids. The course was designed by W. Bruce Matthews III, a Michigan-based architect who has worked on several layouts across the state and the broader Midwest. Matthews typically emphasizes playability and strategic variety within the rolling terrain common to this part of Michigan, and Cedar Chase reflects that approach. The property occupies land characteristic of the region: gently rolling with stands of mature hardwoods and pines that frame holes and define corridors. The routing moves through wooded sections and more open areas, creating shifts in playing character and visual rhythm. Water features appear on several holes, and bunkers are positioned to reward accurate placement off the tee and on approaches. The course serves a local membership and daily-fee traffic, offering a straightforward test suitable for a range of skill levels. Cedar Springs itself is a quiet town known for its small-town character and proximity to outdoor recreation in the surrounding lakes and forests. The golf club functions as a community gathering point, with a clubhouse that hosts outings and events typical of Michigan's regional golf scene. Cedar Chase provides a solid example of accessible, well-maintained golf in a part of the state where courses blend into the natural landscape without dramatic elevation or architectural flourish.
