North Shore Golf Club

North Shore Golf Club occupies a wooded setting along the shores of Green Bay in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, near the town of Menominee on the Wisconsin border. The course was designed by local architect Art Johnson and opened in the mid-1960s, serving the small community in this relatively remote corner of the state. The layout takes advantage of the natural topography and tree-lined corridors typical of northern Michigan golf, with elevation changes and mature hardwoods framing many holes. The routing moves through dense forest on several holes while others open toward views of the bay, creating variety in both playing character and scenery. The proximity to Green Bay influences conditions, particularly wind, which can alter club selection and strategy on exposed holes. Greens are generally modest in size and contour, consistent with the era of construction, and the course requires accurate iron play to navigate the tree-lined fairways. North Shore serves primarily as a community course for Menominee and the surrounding area, offering a traditional Upper Peninsula golf experience without the resort amenities found at some larger northern Michigan destinations. The club maintains a straightforward, unpretentious character reflective of its regional setting. For golfers traveling through the U.P. or visiting the Green Bay shoreline, the course provides a solid test of golf in a quiet, wooded environment typical of the region's smaller municipal and semi-private facilities.
