Newaygo County in Michigan may be best known for its natural resources and outdoor activities, but you may not be aware of all the great and challenging golf courses the county has to offer.

Waters Edge is a somewhat demanding golf course. It came under new ownership in 2016 and the new owners have invested significantly into the property. The building of The Bunker practice facility resulted in the rerouting of two holes. Hence, Waters Edge turned to renowned Michigan golf course architect Ray Hearn to redesign the 5th and 6th holes. He also redesigned the green complexes around the 9th and 18th greens and is slated to do further design work on the 10th and 12th holes. Overall, it’s a well-maintained golf course that provides a fitting challenge for golfers of all abilities.

You’ll find a fair amount of elevation change as you play the golf course. It’s particularly evident on two of my favorite holes, Numbers 10 and 11. Both are par 4s – 380 and 335 yards, respectively, and both have water in play on the right side off the tee, which is not good for the average right-handed golfer. Number 10 can be a tricky tee shot with the fairway sloping left to right – towards the water.

At 335 yards, the 11th hole may seem easy but with a creek running through the landing area. You tee off from a highly elevated tee box to a narrow fairway with water right, trees left, and a creek in front.

After your afternoon round, head up the hill to The Lakes Restaurant and indulge in their delicious menu. Start with 1 lb. of smoked chicken wings before moving on to your main course. The steaks are fantastic and cooked to perfection; the baby back rib and prime rib are only available on the weekend, so plan accordingly! The fireplace room makes it an excellent location for parties and large groups.

Cap the evening off with a visit to The Bunker which features eight heated Toptracer bays that can seat up to six people. Toptracer uses some of the industry’s top-rated range technology to enhance the overall driving range experience. The system captures a lot of data - i.e. distance, clubhead speed, ball speed, launch angle, etc. - about the golf swing, which is vital for improving your game. Toptracer can also be used to play famous courses virtually and other games and competitions. These bays can be used year-round and with a full-service bar and fixed food menu available, it’s a great weekend entertainment venue year-round.
