Bay City Country Club
Since 1898, Bay City Country Club has served as one of mid-Michigan’s finest golfing destinations — and today, its blend of challenging golf, elevated amenities, and modern hospitality continues to make it a premier option for serious play and social relaxation alike. Now under new ownership, the club has undergone a revitalization in recent years and proudly welcomes both members and the public to enjoy everything the property has to offer.
At the heart of the experience is the club’s 18-hole championship golf course, a traditional parkland layout that combines a classic routing with just enough teeth to test all facets of your game. From the back tees, Bay City stretches to 6,930 yards, with a 73.2/130 course/slope rating for men and 80.4/141 for women. Five sets of tees ensure that players of every ability can find a yardage that fits their game while still delivering a true country club challenge.
The front nine (3,490 yards from the tips) offers a strong start, with tree-lined fairways, tucked pins, and just enough weaving doglegs and subtle elevation changes to demand precision off the tee. On the back nine (3,440 yards from the tips), the course opens up visually — but water hazards and more technical shot demands ensure you’ll need to stay focused if you want to score. The final three holes, including a long par 3 and water-guarded par 5, close the round with memorable, risk-reward drama.
Practice makes perfect, and Bay City has a top-notch driving range and short game facility, including a new chipping green and bunkers alongside a large putting surface near the first tee. It’s the perfect place to warm up before your round or sharpen your touch.
When the snow flies, the game doesn’t stop. Inside the Eagles Lounge, Bay City Country Club operates two state-of-the-art golf simulator bays, offering members and guests the chance to play iconic courses year-round, all while enjoying a full bar, elevated food menu, and cozy indoor seating. And for something even more laid back, the Eagles Club — just steps away — delivers pool tables, full dining, and the perfect “19th hole” social setting. The adjoining Eagles Club offers an even more relaxed atmosphere — complete with pool table, multiple TVs, and full-service bar — ideal for post-round gatherings, game nights, or simply unwinding in style.
Dining has become a standout feature at the club. From full-service meals inside the Eagles Lounge to casual bites at the Turn Grill, guests will find a mix of quality and comfort that elevates the entire golf experience. Whether you’re sitting down for a signature entrée or grabbing something quick at the turn, the service and selection are sure to impress.
On-course, quick bites are never far with the Turn Grill, located just behind the Eagles Lounge and offering an ideal stop between nines. Whether it’s a made-to-order wrap, classic burger, or just something cold to drink, you’ll find what you need to recharge and keep the round rolling.
