Plans are progressing for an exclusive golf club to be designed by the architectural team of Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner near Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The new private club, called the Frontier Club, is planned for a 333-acre piece of land in Lodi Township.

They aim to break ground at some point this fall and are eying an April 2028 opening for the club, which will include 18 holes, a 12-hole short course, a clubhouse, a driving range, 11 guest cottages and a maintenance facility.

In that regard, Frontier Club would take on much the same model as the renowned Kingsley Club near Traverse City.
The property, which includes 13 parcels, is located south of Pleasant Lake Road, between Alber and Zeeb roads…
