The Kingsley Club

Private: A course for members and their invited guests only.

Est. 2001

The Kingsley Club: riotously rolling fairways, more bunkering than you shake a stick at, and opulently sized-greens are but a few of the hallmarks of Mike DeVries's first solo design project. Quietly and remotely tucked-away, and surrounded by pristine forest, the course is laid out on hilly sandy terrain.

You'll find the layout spaciously open on the front-nine, a tad more tree-lined on the back. Don't worry about your game being adequately tested ... golfing challenges lurk at every turn on this exuberantly layout.

Limited access: this private course is generally playable only by members and their invited guests.

Did you know?

The Kingsley Club was created by Ed Walker and Art Preston, old friends and business associates from the oil and gas business. They envisioned what is now the Kingsley Club, driven by a mutual desire to emulate in the US some of the great courses they'd experienced on their travels overseas.
