Famous for providing endless fun on the banks of the Crystal River, The River Club in Glen Arbor (RCGA) was named one of the most unique mini-golf courses in Michigan by the Detroit Free Press last week.

The article highlighted how the course incorporates the topography of the area, using blue and tan turf to look like sand and water, and does not include the typical obstacles such as windmills, walls and obstacles for boundaries. Instead, the River Club opts for things like rough turf and faux sand bunkers to create challenges at each hole. But that’s not all that makes River Club such a fun and unique place to be.

“2024 was an incredible year for River Club Glen Arbor. We entertained thousands of families looking for a little escape from their daily lives. In 2025 we’re taking the place to a whole new level with over a dozen improvements, initiatives, and offerings. We can’t wait to see our old customers enjoying the new amenities as well as welcoming all the new folks looking for something for the whole family in Glen Arbor,” said Mike Sheldon, the founder and CEO of RCGA.
