Clear Lake Golf Club

Clear Lake Golf Club traces its roots to 1918, when the course first opened as Meceola Country Club before architect Jeff Gorney expanded it to a full 18 holes in 1988. The public course stretches roughly 6,455 yards from the back tees with a par of 71, running over bentgrass greens and a bluegrass mix on the fairways and tee boxes. The layout works its way around rolling hills, wetlands, and Clear Lake itself, with hole #4 standing out as the signature challenge, a short par-4 that demands an approach shot over water. Hole #10 wraps around the lake's northeast corner, giving golfers one of the course's best views partway through the back nine. Beyond the 18 holes, the club runs a driving range for warming up and a nine-hole league that draws regulars back for weekly, casual competition. The clubhouse includes a pro shop stocked with name-brand gear and a restaurant where golfers can wind down after a round. Clear Lake Golf Club also hosts private events like weddings, reunions, and birthday parties, giving groups a lakeside venue beyond just tee times. The course typically runs from mid-March through early November each year, weather permitting. Golfers exploring Mecosta County's course lineup, which includes Tullymore and Katke nearby, often add Clear Lake to the rotation for its mix of history and lake views.
