Kalamazoo Country Club

Kalamazoo, MI
Kalamazoo, MI | The Kalamazoo Country Club is a jewel tucked in the heart of Kalamazoo that will take you away from the hustle of the city to a breathtakingly beautiful and serene year-round resort. Enjoyable activities are in full swing every month at KCC. Each month we feature unique social events for both adults and children. Family time is a focus at KCC with youth enrichment activities and events scheduled weekly indoors as well as outdoors.
The KCC Clubhouse experience was created for Members to enjoy and guests to remember at our many different dining venues. KCC Staff will treat you with personalized service every time you visit. Our Executive Chef creatively varies our weekly features and continues to complement our Clubhouse favorites. We have unique fine dining venues in our Clubhouse. Our service team is determined to impress you with exceptional service and elegant and delicious meals.
During spring and summer, you will find our Members outside golfing, swimming, playing tennis, socializing and participating in events on our patios and grounds. In the winter look for members playing Platform Tennis, sledding, ice fishing, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing, as well as participating in indoor programming, dining, and family memory-making celebrations. The Club’s incredible landscape, preserved for over a century, makes for one of the most magical locations in Southwest Michigan.
The Club is embarking on a complete transformation over the next few years, beginning with a new, world-class Clubhouse on recently acquired land adjacent to the existing property. This clubhouse is designed to offer the membership a plethora of amenities and services that include bowling lanes, a movie theatre, and state of the art fitness center. In addition, the Golf Performance Center will include the latest technologies available including 6 indoor/outdoor hitting bays with Trackman simulators, a putting studio, and Gears / Swing Catalyst / K-Vest teaching aids available for use. Also, on this new piece of property will be a brand-new Executive Course designed by Andrew Green, a 30,000 sqft putting green, short game park / wedge range, and driving range. Once the Clubhouse and surrounding golf amenities are completed (Fall of 2024 / Spring of 2025) Andrew Green will focus his efforts on completely redesigning the current Championship golf course, which will be his 1st in the world.
