Golf Course Information
Description
The Traverse City area is famous for its exceptional golf courses. Amid the region's many offerings, LochenHeath is a true original. Since it first opened in 2001, this coastline golf club, only eight miles from beautiful downtown Traverse City has drawn rave reviews from golfers and the golf media alike. LochenHeath has been named to the Golf Digest "2019-2020 Best in State" list. Designed within a 300-acre cherry orchard, LochenHeath borders Grand Traverse Bay, offering sweeping views of its deep blue waters. It is one of only a handful of Northern Michigan courses crafted in the Scottish links style. This 7,280-yard course features rolling terrain, wide-open fairways, and well-placed bunkers while providing an invigorating challenge for golfers to test their shot-making abilities. LochenHeath has added a Forecaddie and Caddie Program to enhance the overall playing experience.
With a growing membership, LochenHeath Golf Club is transitioning to a private club with focus on world class golf, exemplary service, and fine dining. Memberships are made up of Resident, Seasonal, and National Members from across the country. In 2014, we will be restoring the quality of Steve Smyers' signature bunkers. We have also made a concerted effort to have the course play firm and fast, which is fitting of the overall links style design along the coastline.
The Restaurant at LochenHeath is much more than the typical "19th Hole". Executive Chef Eric Nittolo and his talented culinary team specialize in creative recipes featuring the finest local ingredients. The expansive views from the restaurant's patio are a perfect complement to his amazing table fare for lunch and dinner. The restaurant offers a casual menu and fine dining nightly.
LochenHeath, a one of a kind golf course with exceptional dining, creates the perfect experience.
