Membership Types and Rates
Why True North? Why Now?
Why should you consider becoming a member of True North? There are many intangible reasons for being a member at one of Michigan's finest golf courses, below are just a few of the benefits of Membership:
- True North is currently ranked by Golf Digest as the #8 overall golf course in Michigan and is the #1 RATED COURSE WITHIN 2 HOURS OF HARBOR SPRINGS!
- PREFERRED TEE TIMES. Although we will continue to allow non-member play in order to supplement our revenue, we will gradually increase the amount of member only tee times as the membership continues to grow. Once we reach 200 members, we plan to be private. Currently, we block off tee times prior to 8:30 a.m. as member only times, once we have between 100-150 members, we will block off times prior to 10:30 a.m. during July and August. We will also reserve 2 "member only" times per hour throughout the day. When we reach 150 members the plan is to allow member only play during July/August on Thursday-Sunday; we will only allow resort play Monday-Wednesday after 10:00 a.m. Once we have surpassed 200 members, we will be private during July and August and allow limited outside play only during the offseason.
- True North has the best extended family policy in the industry. All immediate family members and their spouses under the age of 25 are considered full members and included in your annual dues payment. After the age of 25, family members can join for a reduced initiation fee, or continue to play with special guest rates.
- Guest fees; your guests may play True North for $60 during the offseason and $85 during the summer. You may send guests and friends to the course and we will extend your guest rate to them even if you are not playing with them.
- As a member, you will receive a 20% off of all regularly priced merchandise and 10% off of all food and beverage purchases.
- You are eligible for all member events including the Member-Member, Compass Cup Member-Guest, and the Club Championship.
- True North is the only Audubon Silver Sanctuary golf course in Michigan.
- Compass Room Restaurant is fast becoming one of the top destination restaurants in Northern Michigan.
- True North is attracting many great players including two former Michigan Amateur Champions as members.
- True North has reciprocal agreements with Oakhurst Country Club in Clarkston, Forest Dunes in Roscommon, and Tullymore in Stanwood. We are also the only club in America to have a reciprocal agreement with Mission Hills Resort in China.
This is the best time to become a member, initiation fees will never be lower and True North will be private in the future!
