Maple Leaf Golf Course

What Maple Leaf Golf Course does

Maple Leaf Golf Course is a family-owned, independent golf facility located at 158 North Mackinaw Road in Linwood, Michigan. Founded in 1963 with the opening of the East Nine, the business expanded to a 27-hole layout through the addition of the West Nine in 1978 and the North Nine in 1991, with each nine offering distinct characteristics (wooded, open, water-laden). The company serves Mid-Michigan golfers across three customer segments: individual and family golfers paying per-round green fees, seasonal members purchasing 7-Day, Restricted, Senior, Couples, Family, College, or Junior passes, and corporate/charity groups hosting tournaments and outings with full coordination and catering for up to 200+ guests.

The operation is supported by an on-site kitchen and lounge (open Monday-Friday), an outdoor patio, practice facilities (putting green and irons-only range), and a signature house-brewed Maple Leaf Porter beer made with maple syrup produced on the property. The sole technology infrastructure is an integration with Tee-On Golf Systems Inc. for online tee time booking and prepaid tournament foursome sales; no proprietary software, mobile app, or AI capabilities are evident. Pricing is transparent and modest, with 9-hole rates from $13.50 (senior walking) to $27.00 (weekend with cart) and 18-hole rates from $22.00 to $43.00.

The business is privately held by a family with no disclosed parent company, venture capital, or institutional investment. Manager and Outing Coordinator Dee Jezowski leads day-to-day operations and event sales. The company has been voted #1 in the Bay County area and operates on a seasonal basis with active programming scheduled through 2026, including a 63rd anniversary celebration and a roster of recurring corporate and charity tournaments.

Broad incumbents

• KemperSports: Family-owned golf and hospitality management company operating public, private, and resort courses across the U.S. Closely comparable family-business origin to Maple Leaf, but at national scale.

• Shanty Creek Resort: Multi-course Michigan resort operator in Bellaire with four golf courses and lodging. Comparable golf operations at scale, but more destination-driven than Maple Leaf's local-market focus.
• Tullymore Golf Resort: Upscale 36-hole resort-style facility in Stanwood, MI. Comparable golf operations but with lodging and a higher price point; serves overlapping Michigan golfers.
