Mirimichi is a Native American word meaning “place of happy retreat.”
This name evolved from the belief that a golf course is a type of sanctuary, and that the game of golf has a rhythm that is a part of the nature that surrounds it. From design to service, Mirimichi provides a world-class golfing experience like no other.
Our signature course provides over 7,400 yards of championship-level golf. Faced with deep pit bunkers, elevated greens, swathes of native grassland, waterfalls, and meandering creeks, you will be challenged by its design and inspired by the beauty that surrounds you.
Club Rentals available for a fee of $30.00. Email Steve Krueger to request rental clubs. (shkrueger@rklesolutions.com)
