Plan your round at The Medalist Golf Club
The Medalist is a championship links-style course set on roughly 275 wooded acres of rolling land, marshland and wetlands in South Central Michigan, measuring almost 7,000 yards from the back tees. The opening three holes play relatively open, holes 4 through 13 bring carries over marsh and wetlands, and the closing five holes from the 14th offer scoring chances. The club is the host of the 2026 FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship.

Hole 4
526

A double dogleg par 5 of 568 yards from the back tees and 452 from the front, starting with a blind tee shot over a hill. The second shot carries wetlands, and the green is undulating with a bunker front left.

Hole 7
160
yds ·White
The signature hole, a par 3 of 172 yards from the back and 123 from the front. The tee shot must find the green or the bunker on the right; wetlands flank both sides, and a miss means playing from a drop zone.
Hole 8
386
yds ·White
No notes for this hole yet.
Hole 9
514
yds ·White
A risky par 5 of 565 yards from the back and 419 from the front. A small pond on the left can be driven over by long hitters, otherwise a lay-up short of the water is needed, and a second pond on the left about 100 yards from the green must be carried.
Hole 10
378
yds ·White
No notes for this hole yet.
Hole 11
372
yds ·White
Described as the toughest par 4 on the course, 426 yards from the back and 277 from the front. The back tee requires a 215-yard carry over wetlands, and the approach is to a three-tiered green about 15 yards wide where staying below the pin matters.
Hole 12

Hole 16
316
yds ·White
A short risk-reward par 4 of 350 yards from the back and 301 from the forward tees with a double fairway. The left fairway is narrow with a natural area alongside but leaves a better approach, while the right fairway is a safer tee shot with a large bunker to carry in front of the green.
Hole 17
149
yds ·White
A tricky par 3 of 176 yards from the back and 91 from the forward tees, playing uphill to a shallow green and about a club longer than it looks. Short shots can bounce back into a swamp, and a deep, steep bunker sits in front.
Hole 18
358
yds ·White
A par 4 of 403 yards from the back and 316 from the front. Three fairway bunkers sit on the right and a natural area on the left, and the approach is to a green bordered by a pond on the left.
