Clearbrook Golf Club sits in the wooded dunes near Saugatuck, Michigan, a small resort town along Lake Michigan's eastern shore. The course was designed by Charles Scott and occupies rolling, forested terrain characteristic of the region's glacial topography. The layout moves through corridors of hardwoods and pines, with elevation changes that provide natural interest and strategic variety throughout the round. Scott's routing takes advantage of the property's native contours, incorporating ridgelines and natural drainage patterns into the design. The course features a mix of hole lengths and orientations, with doglegs that follow the land's natural flow and greens positioned to reward accurate approach play. Several holes play along or across modest elevation shifts, creating visual interest and requiring thoughtful club selection. The setting reflects the character of western Michigan golf, where courses are often carved from dense forest and shaped by the same glacial forces that created the nearby lakeshore dunes. Clearbrook serves both members and daily-fee play, typical of many courses in this seasonal resort area. The club operates within the broader Saugatuck golf community, which attracts visitors during the warmer months when the town's galleries, beaches, and recreational offerings draw tourists to the region.
