Golf Course Information
Description
Bird Creek Golf Club is the result of years of anticipation, planning and concentrated efforts of many townspeople.
As the course evolved from dreams and design to soil and sod the Port Austin residents kept pushing ahead, making the course "Number One in the Thumb."
The 6,508 yard layout was designed to fit the rolling contours adjacent to Bird Creek, which meanders from the south through the course toward Lake Huron.
Eight of the eighteen holes play adjacently or over the creek, challenging all levels of golfers. The bunkering and ponds increase the difficulty for the better golfer, yet are placed to let the higher handicap player have an alternate route to the pin.
Shifting Lake Huron winds come from three directions, making each round play differently. The finishing ninth and eighteenth holes are two of the most aesthetic and challenging you will play anywhere. Bird Creek Golf Club has a sense of place that all golfers will respond to by putting the course on their "have to play list."
