The Grand nine, located across from Grand Hotel with views of the Straits of Mackinac, was built in 1901 and redesigned in 1987 by golf course architect Jerry Matthews. In 1994, he also designed the Woods nine, located in the interior of Mackinac Island and showcasing views of the Mackinac Bridge and the Upper Peninsula.


Together they comprise The Jewel, the resort’s 18-hole golf course. Separated by a mile-and-a-half, a leisurely, horse-drawn carriage ride between the nines includes parts of the Island unseen by many visitors.


There are rental clubs available.
