Wild Bluff Golf Course

Wild Bluff Golf Course sits in Michigan's Upper Peninsula near Brimley, a small community along the shores of Whitefish Bay on Lake Superior. The course occupies terrain characteristic of the region, where northern hardwood forests meet the dramatic topography shaped by ancient glacial activity. Mike Husby designed the layout to work with the natural elevation changes and wooded corridors that define this part of the U.P. The routing takes advantage of the property's namesake feature—bluffs that create significant elevation variation throughout the round. Holes move through dense stands of pine and hardwood, with fairways carved from the forest and several playing corridors that offer views across the surrounding landscape. The design incorporates the rolling, sometimes severe terrain into the strategic demands of the course, requiring golfers to manage uphill and downhill lies while navigating the tree-lined playing areas. Wild Bluff serves the local golfing community in Chippewa County and attracts visitors exploring the eastern Upper Peninsula, an area better known for its proximity to Lake Superior's shoreline and outdoor recreation opportunities than for golf. The course provides a northwoods golf experience typical of Michigan's remote regions, where the natural setting and topographic challenge form the primary character of the round. The facility operates during the Upper Peninsula's limited golf season, which runs from late spring through early fall.
