The North Course at Michigan City Golf Course is a municipal facility designed by Ted Netz, located in northwest Indiana along the southern shore of Lake Michigan. The course serves the local community and visiting golfers in the Michigan City area, which sits approximately 60 miles east of Chicago. As a public course, it provides accessible golf in a region known for its lakefront recreation and proximity to the Indiana Dunes. Ted Netz, a regional architect active in the Midwest during the mid-to-late 20th century, designed courses primarily in Indiana and neighboring states. His work typically emphasized playability for everyday golfers while working within the natural terrain available. The North Course reflects this practical design philosophy, offering a straightforward layout suited to municipal play. The course operates alongside other facilities at the Michigan City Golf Course complex, providing options for golfers of varying skill levels. The northern Indiana landscape in this area features relatively gentle terrain with mature tree growth, and courses here often incorporate natural drainage patterns and wooded corridors. The setting benefits from the temperate influence of Lake Michigan, though the course itself sits inland from the immediate shoreline. As a municipal course, the North Course emphasizes accessibility and steady play rather than championship length or tournament hosting. It serves both residents and tourists visiting the Michigan City area, particularly during the summer season when the lakefront region attracts visitors to its beaches and recreational amenities.
