Discover the Beauty of Benton Harbor at Harbor Shores Golf Course

There aren't too many major championship golf courses where the general public can get a tee time on any given day, but Harbor Shores is special. Covering a spectacular variety of beautiful terrain, the Harbor Shores Golf Course will thrill and challenge golfers of all skill levels. As far as our real estate agents are concerned, there's no better place to play a round of golf in the Benton Harbor area. 

A Course Like No Other

Harbor Shores Golf Course was designed by 18-time major champion Jack Nicklaus, who attended the club's grand opening in 2010 alongside pros Johnny Miller, Arnold Palmer, and Tom Watson. If you've never seen Nicklaus' near-miraculous 102-foot putt on the 10th hole at Harbor Shores, check it out.

The design of the Harbor Shores Golf Course incorporates three distinct styles into one course—links, parkland, and woodlands—for a truly unique golf experience. GOLF magazine named Harbor Shores one of the best new courses in the country during its inaugural year. The Senior PGA Championship has been held here four out of the last six years and is scheduled to return again 2020, 2022, and 2024. 

Experience Harbor Shores

The course plays to a par of 71 and measures 6,852 yards, and it's as challenging as it is beautiful, meandering along the Paw Paw River and Ox Creek. Rolling hills, steep ravines, and hardwood forest provide a dramatic backdrop, with a true highlight being the 7th green, with its sweeping views across the sand dunes to Lake Michigan. Check out this aerial tour of the course for an unbeatable view of its striking landscape. 

A driving range and practice green are available for warmup before your round, and there's a fully stocked pro shop on site as well.
