Macatawa Legends Golf & Country Club

Macatawa Legends Golf & Country Club, formerly a Private 18-hole course, now open to the public is located in Holland, Michigan. This brings up the question, is it a public course with memberships available or a Private course with public daily play available? In either case, anyone can play it and that's a good thing. Located ten minutes north of downtown Holland, and five minutes from Lake Michigan, Macatawa Legends features a stunning clubhouse, with an executive fitness club, a family swimming pool facility, and tennis courts.

Macatawa Legends Golf & Country Club opened for play in 2005. The course was designed by Ray Hearn.

Macatawa Legends Golf & Country Club plays to a par-72 and measures 7,254 yards from the back tees.

Macatawa Legends is a championship golf club in Holland, Michigan. Located ten minutes north of downtown Holland, and five minutes from Lake Michigan, Macatawa Legends features a stunning clubhouse, with an executive fitness club, a family swimming pool facility, and tennis courts.

Macatawa Legends, a $25 million residential golf development in Holland Township, Mich., ended up in bankruptcy court in 2009.

The Macatawa Legends is a 500-acre property with more than 500 homes and condo sites, a clubhouse and a 7,254-yard Rayond Hearns-designed golf course. The project has struggled and the golf course and clubhouse were taken over in May 2009 by Macatawa Bank, the lendor on the project. The bank claimed it is owed $18 million by Macatawa Legends' developers, Partner's Fore.

Of course, sometimes a trip to bankruptcy court can be the beginning of a turnaround and can open a private course to daily fee play.
