"Based out of an office in Detroit, Hugh Alison was a busy man in the Midwest in the early 1920s," wrote Tom Doak in The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses. "The terrain here is a bit similar to Inverness in Toledo, with a series of deep swales running across the course. There is a difficult set of short holes, but the par-4 13th is the one you'd most like to take home."
Drew Rogers embarked on a renovation project at the club in 2019, dealing with drainage issues that year. Following on from this work, he completed a tee and bunker upgrade during 2021. Tees were made bigger and rearranged to give alternative playing angles and sand hazards were made more prominent. Trees were also removed to open up playing corridors and restore dramatic views across the property.

The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list.
