St John's Resort, MI
The Cardinal course at St John's Resort represents the first high-end public golf facility in the Metro Detroit area to emerge in over two decades. The Raymond Hearn-designed parkland layout incorporates many "Golden Age" features, such as classic bunkering and large undulating greens.
Pick of the holes: the excellent par-3 3rd hole requires a challenging shot over water to find the safety of the stylishly bunkered green. Mature pines provide this elegant looking hole with its natural backdrop.
Stay&Play at St John's Resort: luxury onsite accommodation available, see Where2Stay section below.

Saint John’s Resort has a rich history that begins in the late 1940s when it opened as a major Catholic seminary, and continued as such until closing in 1988. The late William Pulte worked closely with a small group of local business leaders and Cardinal Maida (Archbishop of Detroit) to finance and develop the former seminary campus into a hotel, conference centre and golf course.
