Huntmore Golf Club: More Player-Friendly than Ever |

The folks who recently bought the Huntmore Golf Club in Brighton know how you feel, and invite you to come see how much more playable, and more importantly, player-friendly Huntmore is now that they’ve made the beast a little tamer. Oh, Huntmore is still plenty challenging- its four par-5’s are among the 6 toughest holes on the course, starting you off at #1 with a 598-yarder from the tips. What Huntmore’s new management is doing is smoothing out some of the rough edges, creating a delightful mix of woods, water and wetlands, what Marketing Director Ron Cortese calls, “a Northern Michigan look in Southern Michigan.” Huntmore will have a fifth set of tees to bring senior yardage down to a more manageable 5,000 yards. The fairways have been made a little more generous, though the infamous heather and woods will still capture any balls sprayed a little too wildly. Curiously, Cortese thinks the shortest par-4 on the course, the 343-yards-from-the-tips #7, might be the hole you’ll tell your friends about, especially if you conquer the dogleg-left around a lake with four strategically-placed bunkers on the right-hand side. Oh yeah, and make sure you stay below the pin on one of their most sharply-contoured greens. The new management has also made the entire Huntmore experience more pleasurable. The course has always had one of the best practice facilities in all of Michigan with a huge range, generous chipping and bunker-practice areas and they’re opening an enormous new putting green in ’05. The new entrance off old U.S. 23 leads you to the new clubhouse location that features a unique bonfire pit for post-round activities. What better way for you and your group to experience all of Huntmore–the course that offers “private” club conditions at public course rates! |
