Overview
A decade before architect Mike DeVries created the world-class Cape Wickham Golf Club in Australia, he produced an equally compelling design in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a second 18 for Marquette. It’s called Greywalls because of all the granite rock outcroppings that edge some holes and squeeze others, like the short par-4 fifth, and because the rock provides the rugged topography over which this course scampers up and plunges down. The vistas out over Lake Superior are fantastic, beginning with the opening tee shot. Like Wilderness Club (No. 57 on our 100 Greatest Public list), this is a destination course worth hiking to play.

“This course is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the trip. Beautiful views of Lake Superior and stunning rock outcroppings along the course route."

“Magnificent Mike DeVries-designed mountain course with some views of Lake Superior. DeVries made maximum use of rock outcroppings, hills, some blind shots, and forest to challenge. Bring your A game."

“Greywalls is a massively ambitious golf course in a remote location that is a great example of "minimalism" on a maximalist site. The course starts on a hill well above the clubhouse maybe a half-mile away, with expansive views of Lake Superior and rollicking rock-bordered fairways tumbling in all directions. We take the plunge downhill off the first tee, and wind down then up through the forest through rock outcroppings in a manner only seen before on a fantasy golf hole calendar. The back nine is slightly less wild, but also holds great interest with half-par holes galore. Greywalls in my opinion should easily grab a spot in the top 100 public golf courses in the country. If there is one criticism, it could be rather penal for high handicappers, but the fairways are generally wide, and allow a path to making a score. The 18th is a bit of a letdown, but it will someday be backed by a new clubhouse."

“This course will require some local knowledge or playing it a second time same day or next day is beneficial. The first time I played it, it felt unconventional, but then the 2nd round (same day) I knew the layout and not where to miss. Had an absolute blast playing the course on my second round. Beautiful scenery, staff is welcoming, course conditions and design are fantastic."
