Lake Doster Golf Club sits in Plainwell, Michigan, a small community in the southwestern part of the state between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. The course was designed by Charles Scott, a regional architect active in the mid-twentieth century who worked primarily in Michigan and neighboring states. Scott's designs typically emphasized playability for everyday golfers while incorporating the natural terrain features available on each property. The course takes its name from Lake Doster, which borders the property and comes into play on several holes. The routing makes use of the gently rolling terrain characteristic of this part of Michigan, with mature trees lining many fairways and creating definition between holes. Water hazards beyond the lake itself appear throughout the layout, requiring golfers to manage both lateral and carry challenges. The design reflects the practical, straightforward approach common to many Michigan courses built during Scott's era, with strategic bunkering and greens that reward accurate approach play. Lake Doster Golf Club serves as a community-oriented facility, hosting local tournaments and league play throughout the season. The course provides a traditional Midwestern golf experience, with conditioning and pace of play suited to members and daily-fee visitors alike. The clubhouse offers standard amenities and dining typical of regional golf clubs in smaller Michigan towns, where golf remains a central recreational and social activity during the warmer months.
