A-ga-ming Golf Resort

About A-ga-ming Golf Resort

Facilities at A-Ga-Ming have steadily grown over the years since inception in the early 1970's. Starting as a nine-hole facility, it wasn't until 1986 that growth began when former owner, Bill Siebenthaller, and his close friend (1954 PGA Champion) Chick Harbert, pooled their talents to take the course to the next level. By re-routing the original nine-hole layout and adding nine more, they created a challenging golf course layout that boasted the most spectacular views in Northern Michigan. During this time, the original clubhouse was erected on one of the highest points of the property, offering unforgettable views of the golf course, Torch Lake, and the surrounding countryside.

Many things stayed the same for the next decade until the property was purchased by its current ownership, which brought newfound energy and enthusiasm to the club. Under careful stewardship of partners Larry Lavely and Mike Brown, A-Ga-Ming has experienced quantum leaps in conditioning and amenities, while providing a new level of personal attention that is a direct result of committed family ownership. Under their watch, guest lodging, real estate developments, and golf course improvements were prioritized, elevating the resort from a 2 ½ star to a 4 star status by Golf Digest.
