There will be live entertainment during part of the evening which we believe you are sure to enjoy!!
The Beacon Club has a great atmosphere, indoors & out. There is plenty of room to accommodate a very large turnout, and contrary to the “pricey” Beacon Club menu of the 70’s and 80’s, it is now remarkably affordable!!

This is a beautiful course:
Heritage Glen, built in the mid 1990s, has long been acclaimed as one of Michigan's most scenic courses, set in a forested setting in the heart of the state's wine country. There are intriguing holes with a great amount of variety and opportunities for golfers of all levels to test their skills.
There are some carries over water, but for the most part you can avoid those shots if you wish. It's a player friendly course that also offers great scenery along the way. On some holes, thick with pines, you'll feel as if you're in the north woods; on others, wide open fairways have a taste of Scottish links design.
