Heritage – Marquette Golf and Country Club

Nestled in the highlands surrounding Marquette, Michigan, you’ll find Marquette Golf Club, Upper Michigan’s only 36-hole facility. Opened in 1926, the semi-private club has expanded to include The Heritage, the original course designed by William Langford (later expanded by David Gill) and Marquette Golf Club’s nationally-ranked new addition, Greywalls, designed by Mike DeVries.

The original nine holes of the Heritage were designed by William Langford and Theodore Moreau in 1926, and the second nine were added by David Gill in 1969. The front nine sprawls out over gently rolling terrain and is notable for its imaginative green complexes and classic beauty. The back nine takes the player into more dramatic slopes offering views of Lake Superior and a challenging finish to a thoroughly enjoyable round of golf.

Course Designers: William B. Langford & Theodore J. Moreau (1926) & David Gill (1969)

Architect William B. Langford, designed the original nine holes at Marquette Golf Club in 1926. Born in 1887 in Austin, Illinois, he suffered from polio as a child and took up golf as part of a rehabilitation program. He was a member of three Yale University NCAA championship golf teams from 1906-1908 and became a golf course architect after gaining a Master’s degree in Mining Engineering at Columbia University. He went on to design over 250 courses with his partner Theodore J. Moreau and became the first honorary member of the Golf Course Architectural Society of America.

The most well-known examples of their work include Lawsonia Links in Green Lake, WI, and Skokie Country Club in IL.
