Nestled among mature hardwoods and white pines, the Kingsley Club is located about 12 miles south of Traverse City. Its high rolling pastures offer beautiful vistas from several points around the 18-hole course, according to director of golf Bob Pillard. "The par-71 course is designed with a wide variety of tees ranging up to 6,911 yards. Each hole is designed to offer options on routing and types of shots. "It's a classic design that follows the lay of the land," said the PGA Professional. "The course has a Scottish feel to it; like a golf course built in the 1920s." You won't find any water on the course, but, if you like bunkers, you're in luck. There are 129 of them scattered around the course. And, if you like to walk, again you are in luck. The course, according to Walker, was designed to walk, which is encouraged by a caddie program. Power carts will be available as an option. "It's a course that you'll want to walk," he explained, "and, that's the way we wanted it designed. I like to be able to see other holes when I play golf. I don't like the isolation you feel on many courses with individual holes. Old-style, traditional courses were designed to walk, and that's what we've achieved at Kingsley Club."
