American Dunes Golf Club
Originally the site of Grand Haven Golf Club, American Dunes Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course on the southwest Michigan shoreline. The original course was built in 1965 and closed in 2018. The site was overhauled in 2019 before it reopened as American Dunes on Memorial Day 2020.
Jack Nicklaus donated his $3 million USD design fee, 18 other individuals sponsored a hole each and five investors backed the project to create not only the golf course but also a tribute to the birthplace of Fold of Honor. Folds of Honor refers to the 13 folds of the American flag when it is used ceremonially or stored. The Folds of Honor a charity provides scholarships to families of America's fallen or disabled military and 1st responders. The club is known as the "Church Jack Built".
The club motto is God. Country. Golf. That comes through with the ultra-patriotic displays on show in full force - even the carts are red, white and blue.
