Chocolate Drop: New Ultra-Private Gil Hanse Design to Be Built in Michigan
Courses and Architecture
We were recently alerted to a membership packet for Frontier Club, an upcoming Ohoopee-type golf enclave in Lodi Township, Michigan (just outside of Ann Arbor). Gil Hanse will design the course, and three-time U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Stewart Hagestad is on the board.
The membership materials emphasize the club's land-centric approach. "Frontier Club began with a singular intention: to create a golf club rooted in the land itself and guided by first principles," founders Scott Kovanda and James Housler write. "From the outset, it was clear this would not be a club defined by scale, publicity, or excess, but by restraint, stewardship, and continuity."
The packet also highlights Frontier Club's small size and exclusivity. "Membership is intentionally limited and offered by invitation only," Kovanda and Housler's statement continues. "There will be no public access, no commercial presence, and no outside events."
