Mines Golf Club

The Mines Golf Club houses 18 holes of rolling fairways and undulating bent grass greens. The course offers playability from four sets of tees, making your round truly exceptional.

The course gets its name from sitting 150 feet above gypsum mines that were utilized as early as the 1860s. The course features 110 feet of elevation change from the highest to lowest point on the course. Renowned architect Mike Devries and his ability to use the natural features and undulations, has created a unique golf course and “up north feel” set in a unique urban setting.

Conveniently located in the shadow of downtown Grand Rapids, the Mines is an ideal location for your group to get away while never actually leaving.

Nestled in the tranquil shadows of Downtown Grand Rapids, our restaurant sits perched above and overlooks the 5th and 9th holes with expansive golf course views, adjacent to the golf shop at Mines Golf Club.

The Pit Golf Center and Short Course 

NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTION – The Pit Golf Center. The new center will feature 7 heated private suites with TopTracer technology, and a group room with 4 GC Quad simulators.  As part of the construction we will have a full food and beverage operation. More information can be found HERE

With the new construction we are renovating and expanding our summer driving range to include an additional 25 mat spaces and completely new grass hitting area. The parking lot will be expanded and paved as part of the project.

The Pit short course – Is a 3 hole walking only par 3 course featuring holes that range from as short as 55 yards up to 140 yards based on tee selection.

Each group is allowed up to 45 minutes of play time on the course. Cost is $12. Check in with the golf shop for complete details.

In 2005 when the course was under construction 3 holes for the future par 3 course were fully constructed and built.  The holes was eventually abandoned and the holes were returned to nature.  New ownership discovered the untouched Mike Devries layout and hatched a plan to incorporate the holes into a short course.  What was originally the first hole is now the practice area in the center of the three holes, and a new green was constructed on the ridge behind the driving range.  The other two holes remain exactly as they were constructed in 2005.
