The Chief Golf Course

The Chief Golf Course plays 18 holes at par 72 over 6,556 yards. A driving range is on the property. The course is in Bellaire, in the heart of Michigan’s Northern Lower Peninsula resort country, where forested hills and significant elevation changes define the terrain. The hilly, wooded landscape creates a variety of uphill, downhill, and sidehill lies across the round.

Bellaire is home to Shanty Creek Resort, and The Chief operates alongside several other resort courses in the area, including Legend and Summit, Hawk’s Eye, and Cedar River. Luxury pricing reflects the destination resort market. The course draws vacation golfers from across the Midwest who come to the Bellaire-Traverse City corridor for northern Michigan golf.
