BENTON HARBOR – Michigan’s Great Southwest Sustainable Business Forum will host a program and tour at The Golf Club at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor June 13 to tell the story behind one of Michigan’s most significant redevelopment projects in a generation.
Host to last month’s 2016 Senior PGA Championship, the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course runs over remarkably diverse terrain that challenges golfers even as it offers a spectacular setting in which to play: dramatic views of Lake Michigan, the Paw Paw River, Ox Creek and its wetlands, rolling hills, ravines and a hardwood forest.
Today a microcosm of the most ecologically-diverse county in Michigan, more than three million square feet of dilapidated buildings were demolished and over 140,000 tons of waste material removed from portions of the Paw Paw River and throughout the various sites on the property. In 2011 The Golf Club received the Golf Course Superintendent Association of American/Golf Digest’s Environmental Leaders in Golf Award.
Featured speakers include Managing Director Bob McFeeter and Course Superintendent Brad Fry. Complimentary appetizers and cash bar available during the cocktail hour preceding the program, followed by a guided tour of all 18 holes in a golf cart, with farm-to-table dinner specials available after.
