The Woodlands Course at Whittaker
publicThe Woodlands Course at Whittaker Woods is a public golf course in New Buffalo, Berrien County, tucked into the forested terrain just inland from Lake Michigan's southeastern shore near the Indiana border. New Buffalo and Harbor Country are popular weekend destinations for Chicago-area residents seeking Lake Michigan beaches, wine trails, and outdoor recreation, and Whittaker Woods serves as the area's primary golf option. The course plays through dense second-growth hardwood and pine forest with tight, tree-framed fairways that demand accuracy and provide a genuine woodland ambiance. It occupies the opposite end of the southwestern Michigan golf spectrum from the nearby Golf Club at Harbor Shores — a nature-focused, more intimate experience rather than a championship showpiece.
The Woodlands Course at Whittaker Woods was developed to serve the New Buffalo and Harbor Country community, which has grown significantly as a Chicago-area escape destination. Berrien County's southwestern Michigan location draws consistent weekend traffic from across the state line, and Whittaker Woods established itself as the area's accessible daily-fee golf option. The forested site on Wilson Road provided a natural setting that differentiates it from the open, reclaimed terrain of nearby Harbor Shores.
