 The Woods Designed by renowned golf course architect Robert Bruce Harris, The Woods was built in 1926.The Woods features Scottish-style bunkers with native Michigan grasses and many stately, tall trees - many now more than 3/4 of a century old.
History Old Channel Trail Golf Course was built in 1926 on the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan by Homer and Mabel Bailey. It started as a nine-hole facility. Most of these original holes comprise the current Woods nine. It was passed on to their granddaughter, Meriam Bailey Leeke, the current owner. She was one of the few women of her era to compete in athletics prior to the beginning of university-sponsored women's sports. She won several championships including the Women's Western Amateur title while an undergraduate student at Northwestern University and was a member of the 1958 United States Curtis Cup Team that competed against the top women amateur golfers from Great Britain. Meriam was inducted into Northwestern University's Athletics Hall-of-Fame in 1988. In 2004, she received her collegiate letter from NU at a ceremony during halftime at the November 20th game against Illinois. |
