Est. 2005 · Mike DeVries (Greywalls); William Langford and Theodore Moreau (Heritage)
Why we love this place
We love Greywalls for refusing to tame its land: granite walls, Lake Superior views and 200 feet of climb make every hole feel discovered rather than built. Pair it with the century-old Heritage course next door and Marquette becomes a reason on its own to point the car toward the Upper Peninsula.

About Marquette Gc
Marquette Golf Club sits on Michigan's Upper Peninsula and has offered golf since 1926, when the original Heritage course took shape with holes credited to William Langford and Theodore Moreau, later expanded by David Gill. Its modern claim to fame is Greywalls, a second eighteen designed by Michigan architect Mike DeVries, a Tom Doak protege, that opened in 2005. Built on a rugged 233-acre parcel above town, Greywalls threads golf through granite outcroppings, a trout stream, wetlands and roughly 200 feet of elevation change, with several holes framed by Lake Superior. Standouts include the par-3 sixth, played across a chasm to a green on a rock shelf, and a short par-4 fifth set against a granite wall. The course was received enthusiastically on opening and is routinely ranked among Michigan's best, prized for using, rather than fighting, its wild natural terrain.
