Our History, then and now!

Our championship 18 hole Par 72 course, with a bonus 19th hole, was built in 1994. It was designed and constructed by architect Larry Mancour, who frequents Chestnut Valley during our season, and is and always will be part of the Chestnut Valley Golf Course family.

Chestnut Valley Golf Course is named after the  American Chestnut Tree and was home to one of the few remaining  American Chestnut Trees in the nation. In 2019 only the trunk remained. To honor its long standing symbolism the tree trunk was carved into the beautiful statue,  and is found between holes  10 and 11. It is estimated to be around 125 years old when it was transformed. Though the tree as we knew it once has faded, the course is trying to preserve its namesake and a beloved part of this community.

Providing the best golf experience in  Northern Michigan is always our goal! Our friendly staff awaits your arrival for a great round of golf, or just to sit and enjoy beautiful Northern Michigan from our fabulous deck overlooking our pristine Championship course. Every year we continue to grow and improve our course, and we look forward to our returning and new customers every season!

We pride ourselves in providing the best experience for our golfers, and we hope you always leave with the feeling that you do matter to us!
