Hessel Ridge Golf has taken its place as one of the most picturesque courses in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. As a “feel good” golf course, the contoured greens are always well maintained and the plush, gently rolling fairways make for a memorable round of golf. This beautiful 18 hole golf course is set on a ridge above the town of Hessel with tree-lined boundaries that provide a park-like setting for golfers of all skills. The course features 6,415 yards of golf from the longest tees for a par of 70 . Designed by J.J. Gorney, the Hessel Ridge golf course opened in 1996. Paul Hitchens manages the course as the General Manager. With its scenic vistas and ease of play it’s no wonder that many local golfers consider Hessel Ridge the area’s best kept secret.
