Ranking among the oldest golf courses in the
state, the Sault Ste. Marie Municipal Golf
Course and Country Club is over 100 years old.
Once a private club founded by a group of
Union Carbide employees, the Sault Golf Course
has been a 9-hole layout for most of its
existence. But in the mid 1980s, the course was
expanded to 18 holes, all of the ponds were
added and three of the old holes were
redesigned. Well-known Michigan architect Jerry
Matthews designed the new layout.
Enjoy a casual round of golf, and watch a
freighter cruising through the St. Mary's River
while you putt on the 17th green. Or take on a
serious round on the challenging layout.
To post the lowest scores possible, a
successful golfer has to play aggressive, but
conservative. The course has many wide-open
fairways which can favor long ball hitters.
However, "postage stamp" size greens put a
premium on approach shots, and a 60 degree
pitching wedge is a prized club to have in your
bag. Knowing the situations to employ that
theory is the only way to be successful.
You can't overpower this golf course.
The Country Club offers its members use of the
clubhouse, dining area and banquet room, bar and
pool. A fine dining menu includes variety of
high quality selections. Throughout the season
the Club is host to many banquets and wedding
receptions.
