About Us

Located less than an hour from Chicago, 20 minutes from South Bend and less than 10 minutes from New Buffalo, MI, Briar Leaf is a favorite destination of golfers throughout the three-state area. We are open to the public seven days a week, with excellent events for everyone in the family, now is the time to get involved at “The Best Club in the Bag!”

You’ll enjoy the amenities and activities that you expect at affordable rates. We are committed to upgrading our facility, both inside and out, every year. Our course, opened in 1973 has undergone a complete makeover recently, including the professional renovation of bunkering, the addition of strategically placed trees and the implementation of a comprehensive daily maintenance program that will provide golfers with excellent playing conditions every day.

With water on eight holes, an island green, rolling hills, trees and plenty of sand, Briar Leaf offers 18 memorable and challenging holes. The course plays a surprisingly difficult 6,579 yards from the medal tees with a slope rating of 133, providing a great test for the low-handicap players while three other sets of tees are on offer at 6,217, 5,861 and 4,804 yards. This allows golfers to “choose their challenge,” making the course enjoyable for all.

After golf, reward your taste buds with the finest in food and drink at our own Portofino Grill. The only thing better than our golf is the friendly service you’ll enjoy from our staff. We look forward to seeing you soon… The parking space marked V.I.P. is yours!
