A nonprofit developer wants its resort community and
golf course to be a catalyst to support ongoing economic, environmental,
and social revitalization efforts in Southwest Michigan.
Harbor Shores, a Lake Michigan's beach and golf resort community, has announced the opening of its first two model homes. The homes are in the Hideaway portion of the development on the Paw Paw River, surrounded by native woodlands.
The Golf Club at Harbor Shores also will open all 18 holes to the public July 1. The Golf Club has been open since June 2009 for 10-hole preview play.
The official grand opening celebration is set for Aug. 10. The Harbor Shores Champions for Change golf challenge will feature course designer Jack Nicklaus and friends Johnny Miller, Arnold Palmer and Tom Watson.
Harbor Shores is 100 miles east of Chicago in the twin cities of Benton Harbor and St. Joseph. The community's central amenity is the 18-hole, public Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course that offers stunning views of Lake Michigan.
The 530 acre master-planned community plans to feature a full calendar of events and world-class amenities, including a marina village and riverwalk, restaurants and shops, deep-water marinas, a boutique hotel and spa, miles of recreational trails and rivers, and acres of parks and green space. Harbor Shores will be home to nearly 800 homes, including cottages, custom homes, town homes and condominiums.
