Cheboygan Golf & Country Club
About this course
Cheboygan Golf & Country Club sits in Michigan's northern Lower Peninsula, where the Cheboygan River meets Lake Huron. The course was designed by Art Pryor, a Michigan-based architect who worked primarily in the mid-20th century and created several layouts across the Great Lakes region. The club serves the small city of Cheboygan and the surrounding Straits area, a region known for its maritime heritage and proximity to Mackinac Island. The routing reflects the relatively flat to gently rolling terrain typical of northern Michigan's coastal plain, with holes likely moving through corridors of pine, birch, and hardwoods. Courses in this part of the state often feature sandy soils that drain well and support firm playing conditions during the summer months. The design would have been shaped by the practical needs of a small-town membership club, balancing playability for a range of skill levels with enough strategic interest to reward better players. Cheboygan Golf & Country Club represents the kind of community-centered facility common throughout Michigan's smaller towns, where golf serves as a social anchor during the brief northern golf season. The club provides a traditional nine or eighteen-hole experience in a setting defined more by natural quiet and regional character than by championship ambitions or architectural fame.

Getting there
The journey to Cheboygan Golf & Country Club begins at Pellston Regional Airport, a compact gateway roughly twenty minutes north, though most travelers route through Traverse City's Cherry Capital Airport, an hour and forty minutes southwest along the Lake Huron shoreline. The drive north traces Michigan's Lower Peninsula coastline through quiet harbor towns and stretches of dense northern hardwood, the air growing noticeably crisper as you approach the Straits of Mackinac. Cheboygan itself sits tucked along the Cheboygan River where it meets Lake Huron, a working waterfront town that has retained its unhurried maritime character, and the club rests just beyond the downtown grid in a landscape of rolling terrain and tall pines - a fitting northern Michigan retreat where the Great Lakes feel close at hand.
