Welcome to the Great Lakes Senior Golf Association
A Successful First Trip to a New Course
Our first visit to Alpine Golf Course can only be described as a total success. We had nearly one hundred golfers each day. Opened in 1967, Alpine was the first course designed by architect Mark DeVries. Located just north of downtown Grand Rapids, the course occupies 120 acres. DeVries went on to design twenty facilities in the area with his last course being Boulder Creek before passing in 2012. The first greens superintendent at Alpine was Larry Murphy who was involved with the construction. The torch has now been passed on to Larry's son Mark who comes to Alpine with 40 years of experience as a Superintendent. The recent improvements to the course show that it is on its way to once again being one of the finest public courses in the Grand Rapids area.
The results from Alpine Golf Course are now available.
Next open tournament: Yankee Springs May 21 and May 22 (open to all members). We can also accept a few late entries at North Kent May 14 and May 15.
