About this course

Eagle Glen Golf Club sits in Farwell, a small community in central Michigan's Clare County, an area characterized by rolling terrain, mixed hardwood and pine forests, and sandy soils typical of the state's interior. The course was designed by Jerry Matthews and Ray Hearn, architects who worked primarily in the Midwest during the latter decades of the twentieth century, creating layouts that often emphasized playability while incorporating natural landforms and wooded corridors. The routing at Eagle Glen takes advantage of the property's elevation changes and wooded character, with holes framed by mature trees and shaped by the region's glacial topography. The design likely features a mix of open and tree-lined fairways, with greens that reflect the era's emphasis on strategic bunkering and moderate undulation. Water features and natural hazards typical of northern Michigan golf—sandy waste areas, wetlands, and dense forest edges—add variety to the shot-making demands. Eagle Glen serves the local golfing community in central Michigan, a region with a strong recreational golf culture supported by seasonal tourism and year-round residents. The course provides a traditional parkland experience suited to a range of skill levels, with the natural setting and thoughtful use of terrain offering both challenge and aesthetic appeal. The club operates as a public-access facility, making it a practical option for golfers exploring the courses scattered across Michigan's interior counties.

Getting there

Eagle Glen Golf Club lies in the quiet farmland of central Michigan, roughly two hours north of Lansing or ninety minutes northwest of Saginaw, with MBS International Airport (MBS) in Freeland serving as the nearest commercial gateway. The drive from either direction unfolds across gently rolling terrain - cornfields giving way to hardwood stands and open pasture - before narrow county roads guide you into the small village of Farwell, population barely a thousand. This is golf found far from the noise, where the final turn onto the property feels less like an arrival and more like a discovery, the kind of place you come to because someone who knows told you it was worth the drive.
