The Golf Club at Harbor Shores is a golf club located in Benton Harbor, Michigan, part of the Harbor Shores development on Lake Michigan.

History

The 18 hole course opened on July 1, 2010.[1] The course held its Grand Opening on July 10, 2010, with Johnny Miller, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson, and its designer, Jack Nicklaus, in attendance.[2]

A Colin Montgomerie-designed "Wee Course" opened in 2026.[3]

Controversy

Local residents took exception to the golf course using a portion of the public Jean Klock Park for three of its holes. The Michigan Supreme Court ruled in favor of Harbor Shores to keep the three holes.[4][5]

Tournaments

Hole no. 7 at Harbor Shores

Harbor Shores hosted or had planned to host the Senior PGA Championship every other year between 2012 and 2024.[6][7]

Course

The golf course has four distinct sections, as noted on the scorecard. The first six holes are inland holes; holes 7, 8, and 9 play through dunes, as they are the closest holes to Lake Michigan. The first four holes on the back nine are woodlands holes; and holes 14-18 are river holes, playing on or near the Paw Paw River.[8]
