Antrim County sits at the heart of northern Michigan's golf corridor, a region that punches well above its weight in course quality and sheer concentration of interesting places to play. Bellaire itself is a small town on the Chain of Lakes waterway, and the surrounding landscape — glacially sculpted, wooded, and laced with cold inland lakes — is the same terrain that gives this corner of the Lower Peninsula its outsized reputation among Midwest golfers making the pilgrimage north each summer.
Chief GC occupies that setting as a local and regional fixture, the kind of course that anchors a golf trip rather than headlining it. A par 71 suggests some asymmetry in the routing — likely a pair of par 5s on one nine and three on the other, or a shortish par 3 layout somewhere in the mix — which often means a course with some personality and variety rather than a formulaic design.
Northern Michigan's season runs roughly Memorial Day through October, with late summer and early fall offering the best conditions: cooler temperatures, hardwood color beginning to creep in, and the kind of unhurried pace that makes the region worth the drive in the first place.
