The historic Elk Rapids Golf Club was designed and built by legendary architect Donald J. Ross in 1922/23. Our course opened for play on July 15, 1924. His design of the Elk Rapids Golf Club course is very much like the courses he played in his youth in Scotland–classic “out and back” hole routing that is often described as “links” golf. Links courses are characterized by greens and adjacent tee boxes on the course being a short walk apart–like links in a chain–and they are generally built beside oceans, tidal basins or lakes. All of these characteristics are employed here at the Elk Rapids Golf Club. Our 9- hole course is easily walked and takes two hours or less to play. The course features 3,075 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 36 . The course rating is 33.9 and it has a slope rating of 111 on Bent grass. Hugo Madsen manages the course as the General Manager.
