interesting history, as a emergency landing strip for

bombing runs in W.W. II. Mackinaw City operated a small airport on
the site that later became the community's snowmobile club. As a
snowmobile club the site eventually hosted popular races. Most
recently, just before it was discovered by the golf course's builders,
Mary, Jim and Dick Carter, it hosted a kite festival. The Carters
had built golf courses with many of the best known golf architects for
years (having worked with architects Jerry Matthews, Bruce Matthews and
Ron Otto on courses that include The Emerald, The Pohlcat, St.
Ives, Michawye, The Jewel, Timber Ridge, Railside, Wallinwood, Lake
View Hills, Birchwood, Treetops, Hill's Heart of the Lakes and Eagle
Glen). Having reached its 10 year anniversary in 2007, the course
