The Best Club In The Bag!

Located less than an hour from Chicago, 20 minutes from South Bend, and 10 minutes from New Buffalo, MI, Briar Leaf is a favorite destination of golfers throughout the three-state area. While we are open to the public seven days a week, it our memberships that are making Briar Leaf the fastest growing club in the area. Now is the time to get involved at "The Best Club in the Bag!"

As a member, you'll enjoy the amenities and activities that you expect at an affordable annual rate. Joining Briar Leaf means both great golf and good times with friends, without initiation fees, monthly dues, or assessments. We are committed to upgrading our facilities, both inside and out, every year. Our course, opened in 1973, has undergone a complete makeover recently, including the professional renovation of bunkering, the addition of strategically placed trees, and the implementation of a comprehensive daily maintenance program that will provide golfers with excellent playing conditions every day.

With water features on eight holes, an island green, rolling hills, trees, and plenty of sand, Briar Leaf offers 18 memorable and challenging holes. The course plays a surprisingly difficult 6,579 yards from the medal tees with a slope rating of 133, providing a great test for the low-handicap players. Three other sets of tees are 6,217, 5,861, and 4,804 yards, respectively. This allows golfers to "choose their challenge," making the course enjoyable for golfers of all skills levels.

After golf, reward your taste buds with the finest in food and drink at our very own Portofino Grill. The only thing better than the golf and amenities is the friendly service you'll enjoy from our staff. We look forward to seeing you soon... The parking space marked VIP is yours!
