American Dunes Golf Club: A Tribute to Military Service and the Game of Golf

American Dunes Golf Club, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, offers an extraordinary golfing experience that combines world-class design with a deep commitment to honoring military service. Located in Grand Haven, Michigan, this stunning course was designed by Nicklaus in collaboration with Folds of Honor Founder and CEO Lt. Col. Dan Rooney. It serves as a living tribute to the military and the families of fallen or disabled service members, with all course profits benefiting Folds of Honor’s mission to provide educational scholarships.

The course’s design transforms the former Grand Haven Golf Club, blending the region’s dramatic topography and sand dunes to create a truly unique playing experience. The reimagined course features rolling fairways, 30 strategically placed bunkers, and scenic sand dunes that add both beauty and challenge to the game. It is a par 72 layout, stretching 7,213 yards, that offers a mix of tree-lined holes and open dunes, providing a variety of strategic challenges for golfers of all levels.

American Dunes is not just a golf course; it’s a place where golf and patriotism intersect. The course celebrates the vision of Lt. Col. Rooney, who, inspired by a life-changing experience during a flight in 2007, founded Folds of Honor. The course’s annual profits directly support scholarships for the spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled veterans.

The course is complemented by The Camp at American Dunes, a 16-room lodge offering guests a comfortable and welcoming retreat. The Camp features both private staterooms and suites, as well as The Bunker, a social space with a full bar, arcade games, and more—perfect for relaxing after a round of golf.

Whether you’re a golfer, a military supporter, or simply looking for an unforgettable experience, American Dunes Golf Club invites you to join in its mission to honor our heroes and enjoy a round on a course that’s as much about heart as it is about golf.
