HERITAGE GLEN GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Paw Paw, MI, USA
Designed by Jerry Matthews
Heritage Glen Golf Club opened in 1998 in Paw Paw, a small community in southwestern Michigan's wine country, roughly midway between Kalamazoo and the Lake Michigan shore. The course was designed by Jerry Matthews, a Michigan-based architect known for creating playable daily-fee layouts across the state that work within natural terrain and modest budgets. Matthews routed Heritage Glen across rolling farmland with mature hardwoods, wetlands, and several ponds that come into play on multiple holes.
The layout measures over 6,800 yards from the back tees and features a traditional par-72 design that emphasizes strategic shot placement over forced carries. The front nine moves through more open terrain with views across the surrounding countryside, while the back nine incorporates denser tree corridors and water hazards that tighten landing areas. Elevation changes throughout the property add visual interest and require thoughtful club selection on approach shots.
Heritage Glen operates as a public facility serving both local golfers and visitors exploring the region's recreational offerings. The course conditions and maintenance standards reflect its role as an accessible option in a market dominated by resort and private clubs. The clubhouse provides standard amenities including a pro shop and casual dining area. The surrounding Paw Paw area is known for its vineyards and fruit orchards, and the course attracts golfers combining rounds with wine trail visits during the summer and fall months.
