Nicknamed "The Golden Bear", Jack Nicklaus was a major force in professional golf f rom 1962 through 1986. He won 117 tournaments including The Masters six times, five PGA Championships, four U.S. Open Championships, and three British Open Championships. He was a member of the winning U.S. World Cup team six times and was a record three- time individual World Cup winner. Grand Haven Golf Club closed in 2018, and some two years later, the historic golf club was soon to be transformed into a national treasure that would forever mark the birthplace of the Folds of Honor. Completely redesigned and reimagined, sculpted through deep sand dunes—and inspired by a passion for America— American Dunes Golf Club was born. Built to honor American warriors and to fund the education and legacies of their families, American Dunes Golf Club is also a safe haven and place of gathering for patriots who share Mr. Nicklaus' love of the game and our country. To fund the construction of American Dunes, there are 18 individual hole sponsors and a small group of investors. This group of patriots who believes in the mission of the Folds of Honor has allowed this dream to take flight, while recognizing the legacy of Barbara and Jack's contributions to our military. All proceeds and profits f rom American Dunes will benefit the Folds of Honor recipients and their families. Since its inception, Folds of Honor has provided over 28,000 scholarships worth over $140 million. Opening in time for Memorial Day 2021, golfers of all levels will come to play this incredible dunes-like course with dramatic local topography and a sand base that covers the entire property…and will experience the most heroic round of golf they have ever played. At American Dunes Golf Club, not only will you enjoy a challenging and very playable golf course, you will be celebrating all that makes America great, as well as contributing to a cause grander than all of us. 48 GOLF NOW!
