BELVEDERE GOLF CLUB:
WHERE THE GREATS COME TO PLAY
For 100 years, Belvedere Golf Club, nestled in the heart of Charlevoix, Michigan, has become part of the historic fabric of Northern Michigan golf. Designed by renowned Scottish architect William Watson, the course remains a shining example of Golden Age architecture—strategic, walkable, with a championship pedigree. The classic parkland design features some of the most fun and challenging green complexes in the country. Embracing the character of the great British Isles courses—private in culture yet welcoming to guests who appreciate timeless design and love the game as it was meant to be played.
