 True North Golf Club of Harbor Springs is a private, gated community with just 72 home sites on the 320-acre property. Conveniently located only five miles from downtown Harbor Springs, home sites are nestled in woods surrounding the championship-caliber course designed by national award-winning architect Jim Engh of Castle Rock, CO.
Nearby Harbor Springs and Petoskey on the shores of sparkling Little Traverse Bay, have been favored vacation and second-home destinations for generations of Midwesterners for more than a century, and offer dining and shopping choices with an ambience befitting one of the world's most scenic areas.
True North offers its members first-class amenities, responsive service, an inviting northern Michigan small-town lifestyle, the fragrance of the deep woods, golf on a superb, well-manicured course and the camaraderie of a friendly membership. True North: a true "members' club."
Jim Engh is a devotee of Irish golf courses. So it's only fitting there will be "sprinkles" of Irish golf in True North Golf Club. After all, True North is in Emmet County which is named for the Irish patriot Robert Emmet.
In the past few years, Engh's style has resulted in a trio of honors from Golf Digest Best New Private Course in 1997 for Sanctuary in Sedalia, CO; Best New Affordable Public in 2001 for The Golf Club at Redlands Mesa in Grand Junction, CO, and Best New Upscale Public in 2002 for his first Michigan design, Tullymore Golf Club in Stanwood.
"True North is a complete change from Tullymore," Engh said, "from wetlands at Tullymore to rolling terrain and valleys at True North. The land here is of exceptional quality and the topography and sandy soils are reminiscent of the sites where golf was first played. Add to that the dense Michigan forest and we have the opportunity to create something spectacular."
