The Name: The first “settlers” to the area were the Huron Indians and the remains of two important village sites are located nearby. The second group of  settlers were farmers, primarily from Britain. Settlers’ Ghost Golf Club is the third settler. “Ghost” refers to the first two groups, who may be gone, but are not forgotten. Our name creates a veiled vision of the past, and our logo carries a mystique that silently beckons you to know more. (Written By John Hughes).

Signature Hole: The 539-yard par-5 eighth requires a precise, long tee shot between towering white pines on the left and deep bunkers on the right. A long drive will allow a chance at hitting the elevated, sloping green in two, while a lay-up shot must be carefully placed in a valley in front of the putting surface.
