In this special episode of Michigan Golf Live TV, host Bill Hobson discovers a place where championship golf, family traditions, and Northern Michigan beauty come together to create something truly special: Birchwood Farms Golf & Country Club in Harbor Springs, Michigan. Visiting Birchwood Farms for the first time, Bill quickly discovers this isn't simply another private club. It's a vibrant community built around golf, friendship, family, and four-season living. The journey begins on The Birches, one of Birchwood's three distinctive nine-hole layouts. Director of Golf Cris Cavitt and Head Golf Professional Cole Ketterer introduce viewers to a course featuring strategic shot values, beautiful elevation changes, and challenging greens that reward thoughtful play. Next comes The Woods, the dramatic nine that many members consider the club's signature experience. Towering hardwoods, breathtaking elevation changes, panoramic Lake Michigan views, and unforgettable tee shots make this one of Northern Michigan's most scenic golfing experiences. Finally, we explore The Farms, the club's original nine-hole course. Wide fairways, classic architecture, and an inviting layout make it the perfect complement to the other two nines, giving members 27 holes with three completely different personalities. But Birchwood Farms is about much more than golf. Throughout the episode you'll discover why families choose Birchwood as a place to create lasting memories. From tennis and pickleball to bocce, swimming, hiking trails, social events, and youth activities, the club offers something for every generation.
