The group hired renowned Scottish architect William Watson to design a golf course “worthy of national reputation” and he delivered.

Michigan native and leading sportscaster, Mike Tirico has called the Belvedere Golf Club home since 2010. Mike welcomes golfers from all over Michigan and the Midwest to experience one of the classic golf gems found in America. A place visited by the greats in the game like Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, and Tom Watson.
