About Manitou Passage Golf Club

Manitou Passage Golf Club in Cedar occupies one of the most enviable geographic positions in all of Michigan golf, situated in Leelanau County just minutes from the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and overlooking the Manitou Passage that separates the mainland from North and South Manitou Islands. The course sits on rolling dunes-influenced terrain that the Leelanau Peninsula is famous for, with the natural landscape requiring minimal design enhancement. Club Drive winds through the golf course past dramatic terrain changes characteristic of Leelanau's glacial dunes geology. The Traverse City area's crown jewel natural setting makes Manitou Passage Golf Club a destination round rather than just a local track. On clear days, the Lake Michigan horizon is visible from elevated tees and greens, providing some of the most dramatic golf scenery in the Great Lakes region. This is northern Michigan resort golf at its most naturally magnificent.

History

Manitou Passage Golf Club was developed to capitalize on Cedar's extraordinary natural position on the Leelanau Peninsula, near where the Manitou Passage Channel creates one of Lake Michigan's most dramatic maritime landscapes. The course was established as a public destination facility to serve the rapidly growing Traverse City golf tourism market and the Leelanau Peninsula's burgeoning reputation as a wine and outdoor recreation destination.

Golfers making a Traverse City or Leelanau Peninsula trip who want the most scenically dramatic round in the region, with Lake Michigan and Manitou Island views that no other Michigan course can match.
