WALLINWOOD SPRINGS GOLF CLUB

The rolling glacial terrain of western Michigan provides the perfect canvas for this Jerry Matthews design, where elevation changes of 40 feet create natural amphitheaters around greens that demand precise approach shots. Water hazards threading through seven holes aren't window dressing—they're strategic elements that punish the aggressive and reward the thoughtful, particularly on the risk-reward par-5 finishing hole. The conditioning rivals any private club in the Grand Rapids area, with bent grass fairways that hold their own against Michigan's temperamental weather patterns.
