Southwest Michigan's so-called "Harbor Country" sits just across the Indiana state line, where Lake Michigan's moderating influence keeps the climate milder than you'd expect this far north. New Buffalo anchors the southern end of this stretch of shoreline towns, and Whittaker Woods fits the character of the area: a destination that draws Chicago-area travelers making the easy 90-minute drive up I-94, as well as locals who treat this corner of Berrien County as their backyard playground.
The par-73 layout is a detail worth noting, since that configuration — typically achieved by stretching one of the par-4s into a 5, or adding an extra short hole — often signals a design that rewards local knowledge and an honest look at your own game. Whether the course leans on the region's characteristic sandy, well-drained soils or weaves through the second-growth hardwood forests common to this part of Michigan is the kind of thing you discover on the ground.
New Buffalo's golf scene is genuinely unpretentious — this is beach-town, long-weekend territory rather than a manicured resort corridor, and the courses here tend to reflect that relaxed, come-as-you-are sensibility.
