Angels Crossing

Michigan, United States

Now owned by the village of Vicksburg to the south of Kalamazoo, Angels Crossing Golf Club is one of Michigan’s unsung public access courses. Bruce Matthews designed this natural lie-of-the-land course in 2001 on an undulating 350-acre site.

Angels Crossing

Bruce Matthews, like many architects, borrowed from great golf courses around the world. Although Angels Crossing features MacRaynor template holes such as the Redan, which can be found at many acclaimed courses, he also reached a little deeper to pull less renowned influences.

One example is No. 10, a par four named “Skyline,” which features a green modeled after the infamous putting surface at Royal St. George’s No. 13.

Another impressive bit of trivia is the par three at No. 6. The learned golfer will look at the green — straight-away with a deep swale running between two plateaus — and conclude this is a Biarritz. They would be correct, but Matthews titled it “Chasm”; the course that hosted the original was named Biarritz, while the hole itself was named “Chasm.”

Whether or not you learn something during the round, the rolling terrain and the classically-influenced holes will make for an enjoyable round. If you three-putt, remember the course name before issuing any profanity.
