Wawashkamo
Inscription
In 1898 Chicago cottagers founded the Wawashkamo Golf Club. By 1900 the club had been incorporated and the clubhouse had been built on the site of the 1814 Battle of Mackinac Island. Wawashkamo is Indian for “Crooked Trail.” Golf course architect Alex B. Smith left the natural features of the site unaltered in his design for these true nine-hole Scottish links.
Wawashkamo Golf Club is Michigan’s oldest unchanged private nine-hole golf links.
