History

In 1954, local residents C.E. (Bud) Blake, Charles W. Gore, Richard Merrill, Malcolm Ross and Frederick S. Upton expressed interest in a new golf club in the Benton Harbor/St. Joseph area. When land owned by Donald H. Ross became available, the group contacted Robert Trent Jones to inquire whether he approved of the location as viable for a championship golf course; after inspection of the property, he was impressed and agreed to design the course. After the group secured funding, the project proceeded: Ground was broken in the Spring of 1957, and the course opened June 14, 1958.

Point O'Woods Golf and Country Club is rated 96th among Golfweek Magazine's Top 100 Classic golf courses in the United State in the 2009 rankings.

Tournaments

Point O'Woods was the host of the Western Amateur annually from 1971 to 2008.
