THE CLUB

INSTRUCTIONS: RELAX.

At the Club, you’re on your own time. No schedule. No demands. Just the clean northern air, the calm flowing river, and as much or as little to do as you want. So grab a chair on the Sky Deck Order a signature Margarita. Add a side of chips and guac. Catch some live, local tunes. Maybe even play a round of mini golf. Or maybe not. It’s your choice. Your time. Enjoy.

MINI GOLF. DON’T CALL IT “PUTT PUTT”.

The well-manicured surface. The brightly colored features. And no big, scary clown faces. Clearly, this isn’t your grandpa’s putt putt course. It’s 18 holes of mini golf the way it should be…good, clean, family fun (with adult beverages allowed, of course.)

NO RESERVATIONS – NO TEE TIMES – EVER

BRING YOUR APPETITE.

You’ll find no “hangry” here. Our chef-crafted recipes include all of your soon-to-be favorites, including Mexican-inspired burritos, tacos, bowls and salads, with homemade toppings and salsas. They all pair perfectly with select craft beers, ciders, and Michigan and California wines. Did we mention the margaritas? Don’t worry, you will.

IT’S LIVE. IT’S MUSIC. IT’S AWESOME.

What’s summer in Northern Michigan without live music? Too darn quiet, that’s what. Check out our full summer lineup, with many of your local favorites. Kick back, chill out and let the music and beauty of the north surround you. Life is good.

WE SAVED YOU A SEAT. (BUT HURRY, ANYWAY.)

Seating here isn’t just about comfort. It’s about experiencing River Club the way you want. Find your perch on our Sky Deck for scenic river views. Tuck into a pillow boat and get pics of the kids. Or spread out in one of our big, comfy chairs. In a word: relax.

FAQS

What are Golf Prices?2025-05-16T17:43:21+00:00

$20 for adults and $15 for under 12. Play all day!

What happens if it rains?2025-06-10T21:43:53+00:00

We’re in Michigan. If you don’t like the weather, wait 5 minutes. If you still don’t like it, wait 5 more. If you are made of sugar, bring a raincoat. If you still can’t wait, we offer rain checks for golf, redeemable within two weeks.

Can you kayak to River Club?2025-05-16T17:49:05+00:00

We don’t have a dock or a place to portage. But, if you’re a pirate, who am I to stop you?

Can we fish in the Crystal River?2025-06-10T21:44:47+00:00

The Blue Heron is the only one permitted to fish from the shoreline. And if you really need fish, try our whitefish pate. So yummy!

Can we work at River Club?2025-06-10T21:45:25+00:00

Yes. Visit rcglenarbor.com/employment. Mention Stephen and he will hire you if you love making someone’s day, are nice, hardworking, and want to be a part of a very cool party every day.

Does River Club have event space?2025-06-10T21:46:16+00:00

Yes. We seem to specialize in groups of 30-80, as they can fit in the River Lounge, but you can also bring in 800. Any group size will work. My secret princess fantasy is having someone rent out the entire property for a wedding proposal, and have a gopher deliver the engagement ring.

What happens when the golf course is full?2025-06-10T21:47:55+00:00

On the busiest of days, we start a wait list. It goes pretty quickly. The good news is even if you have to wait a few, you can eat, listen to music, browse the gift shop and or just relax and watch the kayaks go by.

Why are bears allowed in the property but dogs aren’t?2025-06-10T21:49:36+00:00

Have you ever said no to a bear? Seriously, we love those furry friends, but they aren’t allowed in the park.

Can I perform at River Club?2025-06-10T21:53:24+00:00

Can I make my own sign for above the Bandstand?2025-06-10T21:53:52+00:00

YES! It’ll take a few days, and costs $300. We will put it up for you, and you can take it home.

Do you have Gift Cards?2025-06-10T21:54:15+00:00

Yes, stop by the Club House and speak to someone. They can be made in any denomination.

What is the best way to get in touch with you?2025-05-16T17:59:21+00:00
