A New Era of Golf at Kalamazoo Country Club

The Transformation Has Begun

Kalamazoo Country Club is entering a bold new chapter. Construction is officially underway on a complete golf course transformation that will redefine the game in Southwest Michigan—starting with an 11-hole short course and culminating in a brand-new 18-hole championship course designed by renowned architect Andrew Green.

Now Under Construction: 11-Hole Short Course
The first visible step in this transformation is KCC’s 11-hole short course, with play expected to begin in spring 2026. Divided into two distinct loops—Blue and Red—this new course is designed for players of all skill levels. Whether you’re practicing your short game or enjoying a quick round with friends and family, the short course offers a faster, more flexible way to play.

Coming Soon: 18-Hole Championship Course
In August 2025, construction begins on KCC’s brand-new 18-hole championship course, with member play anticipated in spring 2027. This will be Andrew Green’s first original full 18-hole course—a landmark project that blends artistry, challenge, and natural beauty across 145 acres. The course will expand total green space by 30%, elevating both playability and competitive potential.

“Kalamazoo is going to have a golf course that people travel to play—not just because it’s new, but because it’s memorable.”
— Andrew Green

Green, one of the most respected figures in modern course design, brings a personal passion and hands-on approach to KCC—shaping holes on-site and honoring the land’s natural contours to create what he calls a “golf cathedral.”
