Scope of Work

Full short course design

The Little Cardinal is nestled within 7.5 acres of rolling parkland, offering a distinctive seven-hole short course that ranges from 44 to 112 yards, with uniquely named holes like Punchbowl, Volcano, and Postage. This course provides an array of short, engaging shots suitable for all ages and skill levels.

The Cardinal courses not only echo the natural beauty of Michigan but also showcase Hearn’s passion for transforming and restoring landscapes into playable works of art that honor the game’s rich traditions.

“Ray Hearn’s design of the Cardinal completely exceeded our expectations. His ability to use the existing land and contours to create a magical design was truly spectacular. The results speak for themselves as the public reception of our course was beyond anything we imagined.”

The Cardinal Putting
Course

Spanning two acres with 18 holes, The Cardinal Putting Course is a wonderland modeled after the fabled Himalayas Putting Course at St. Andrews in Scotland. This course offers endless fun with a series of humps and swales, designed to be less extreme than the original but just as thrilling. Unique in its versatility, the course can be configured in four distinct layouts, providing varied challenges that cater to all skill levels. This vibrant golf space not only enhances your game but also entertains with built-in music, scheduled live music events, and a selection of food and beverages.
