Kalamazoo Country ClubThe Kalamazoo Country Club is a jewel tucked in the heart of Kalamazoo that will take you away from the hustle of the city to a breathtakingly beautiful and serene year-round resort. Enjoyable activities are in full swing every month at KCC. Each month we feature unique social events for both adults and children. Family time is a focus at KCC with youth enrichment activities and events scheduled weekly indoors as well as outdoors. During spring and summer, you will find our Members outside golfing, swimming, playing pickleball and tennis, socializing and participating in events on our patios and grounds. In the winter look for members playing platform tennis, sledding, ice fishing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing, as well as participating in indoor programming, dining, and family memory-making celebrations. The Club’s incredible landscape, preserved for over a century, makes for one of the most magical locations in Southwest Michigan.

The Club is embarking on a complete transformation over the next few years, beginning with a new, world-class Clubhouse (over 80,000 sqft) on recently acquired land adjacent to the existing property. This clubhouse is designed to offer the membership a plethora of amenities and services that include a full service bar & restaurant, a quick service restaurant, six bowling lanes, movie theater, and state of the art fitness center. Additional amenities located at the clubhouse include world class aquatics and racquet offerings. For aquatics, we will feature two swimming pools, a family friendly splash pad, and a water slide. Our new racquet areas will have three indoor tennis courts, 4 outdoor pickleball courts and 4 platform courts.

In addition, the Golf Performance Center will include the latest technologies available including six indoor/outdoor hitting bays with Trackman simulators, a putting studio complete with a ZEN putting stage and PUTTVIEW green, along with several of the latest teaching aids available for use. Also, on this new piece of property will be a brand-new Executive Course designed by Andrew Green, a 30,000 sq ft putting green, short game park / wedge range, and driving range.

Once the Clubhouse and surrounding golf amenities are completed (Fall of 2025) Andrew Green will focus his efforts on completely redesigning the current Championship golf course, which will be his first in the world.
