Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee The opening hole is a straight away par 4 with varied terrain. The length makes this a challenge to forward tee golfers as there isn’t a large yardage advantage.
From The Fairway
On The Green Upon approach to the green, you will have two green side bunkers that are not that deep, but the back to front sloping green can make it a challenge to get up and down.
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee The second hole is a slight dogleg left, however, not noticeable enough to alter your line off the tee.
From The Fairway
On The Green The hole is fairly flat with a downhill approach the last 70 yards to the green where the only major challenge is the grassy mounds front left.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee The third hole is a dogleg right from an elevated tee. The views on the tee are breathtaking out to Lake Michigan.
From The Fairway
On The Green The approach requires a precise short iron as a front green side bunker will catch any miss-hits.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee The fourth is a straight away par 4 from a highly elevated green on the bluffs of Lake Michigan.
From The Fairway Long hitters may reach the fringe on the drive, however, the greatly narrowing fairway should play for a
On The Green 200 yard tee shot with wedge to the green.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee The fifth is a slight dogleg left, with a water hazard in the primary landing area on the right for shorter hitters.
From The Fairway Longer hitters will not have an issue with water, but a narrowing fairway could make your approach coming from a heavy rough
On The Green to a green protected by two green side bunkers left and right.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee The sixth is the first of 3 par three’s on the front nine, and is the longest. From the back tees, at nearly 190 yards, it will require a long iron for most hitters,
From The Fairway
On The Green and a mishit will collect in the forward bunker with a difficult out over a high lip to the green. A long tee shot, or one off to the right will collect into a low area near the forward bunker or behind the green with a tough elevated approach to get up and down for par. The best place to miss if you cannot get there in one would be left, or just short of the green. (note, the forward tees have mu
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee The seventh is the first of three along Cherry Street which can get in the minds of even the most experienced golfers.
From The Fairway
On The Green This is the longest of the holes, and a well positioned long iron center-left will leave yourself with a clear approach to a three-bunker protected green.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee Keep the drivers in the bag on the 8th, you won’t be able to get there in one even though it is under 300 yards.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is elevated on a difficult plateau with a very steep grade from back to front. The 15 yard wide and 35+ yard long green makes this one of the most difficult greens on the course despite its short distance. Take a long iron off the tee and leave yourself with a wedge. Don’t miss this long or left as you will have a blind shot up to the green where bogey is now your best case scenario.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee The home hole on the front nine is the easiest on the course. A short par three from an elevated tee makes this a wedge for most golfers.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green slopes back to front making for a great back stop that you can work your shot within 10 feet for a prO-Bable birdie.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway
On The Green If that isn’t tough enough, three green side bunkers guard a small green. It is no wonder why this is the #1 handicap on the course.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee The hardest hole is followed by one of the easiest on the course,
From The Fairway
On The Green but don’t let that fool you, the two green side bunkers can still make this a tough hole if you find one of these. If you miss, miss long, or to the left as a relatively easy approach will still give you the opportunity to save par.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee The second par 5 on the back (for back tees) is a challenge despite its short distance.
From The Fairway Many will try and reach it in 2, but with a playable hazard running along much of the left and right side of the fairway (inside 150 yards) makes this a hole that can quickly turn to a bogey hole if you loose your ball in any one of these hazards.
On The Green
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee The par 4 thirteenth is another hole where course management is critical to make a good score. a middle/long iron off the tee followed up by a 9 iron-wedge can make this an easy birdie hole, however,
From The Fairway if the daring driver wants to cut off the heavy dogleg left, the green can be reached, but with water along much of the left side of the fairway and water through bogey can be the best case scenario if you find one of these hazards.
On The Green
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee The final par 3 on the course is a beautiful shot out to Lake Michigan.
From The Fairway
On The Green With a large green, this can be a birdie hole, especially if the pin position is center-front. However, a back left, or center right position can be trouble for aggressive golfers as three green side bunkers will snatch up a pushed or pulled tee shot. Missing far left, is O-B and a 150? ravine will keep your ball for quite some time.
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee Fifteen is the final hole of a stretch that can make or break your round. This short par 4 is a dogleg right around a heavy grouping of trees. The best play is to keep a long iron left off the tee and you will set up an ideal approach with a short iron/wedge.
From The Fairway
On The Green The only real issue at the green is a front green side bunker.
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Sixteen is a picturesque hole that has the high dunes along much of the left side of the fairway.
On The Green On a windy day, this will be one of the few holes where you will get a break from the breeze off the water. Don’t let the short distance fool you, put the driver away, as the long narrow, elevated green is almost impossible to drive with accuracy, and a short short and right is going to be tough to make par. Take a long iron, and wedge into this green for the best shot at birdie.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The seventeenth is a tough hole as the primary landing area for many with a driver is the pond center left of the fairway.
On The Green This split fairway requires a decision off the tee to go for it and carry the point which is at around 225, or to layup and take a mid/short iron into the elevated green that is guarded by two front green side bunkers. Golfers are rewarded once you reach the green as it is fairly flat and a long putt has a good possibility to drop.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee The home hole at the Manistee Golf and Country Club offers a reward for long hitters as there is a
From The Fairway large ridge and hill that can give you an extra 20-30 yards of carry if you can reach it center-right in the fairway.
On The Green This dogleg right, will take you back to the historic clubhouse with an elongated green with green side bunkers both left and right.
