Set along the banks of the Paw Paw River and overlooking the shores of Lake Michigan, this Jack Nicklaus Signature Course meanders through wetlands, woodland backdrops and costal shorelines.

As winter usually keeps us indoors for several months, Powell Construction has been hard at work over the winter building the first two homes in Hideaway.

The Golf Club at Harbor Shores is scheduled to open all 18-holes by July, and we are excited to announce that Jack Nicklaus will help kick off the official Grand Opening in August.

On December 18th, Harbor Shores celebrated the breaking of new ground in its first two neighborhoods, Hideaway and Fairways. Construction began on the first of the new roads in November, and now builders are beginning the foundations of new cottages in Hideway and custom homes in Fairways.

Enjoy what winter has in store for you in Southwest Michigan.

With a great summer behind us, we’re proud to look back at the progress that has been made at Harbor Shores. In our preview season, The Golf Club at Harbor Shores had more than 2,500 visitors play the first 10 open holes at the Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course.  In September, 8 holes were seeded and have since greened up nicely.  With cooperative weather, The Golf Club anticipates opening the full 18-holes next summer.

Work on Harbor Shores' first 3 roads are underway in our two inaugural neighborhoods.  Soon, you will be able to drive up and tour individual home sites, walk the land and imagine how your backyard will look during those stunning summer sunsets.

Start the holiday season with a breath-taking view of 800 luminaries lighting downtown St. Joe at The Luminary Festival presented by AEP Cook Nuclear Plant.  Pick up holiday decorations, greeting cards and one-of-a-kind creations by local artists at The Mistletoe Market—a great way to give back to your community and get holiday shopping finished!

With summer behind us, we’re proud to look back at the progress that’s been made at Harbor Shores. Since the opening of The Golf Club at Harbor Shores, we’ve had close to 2,000 golfers in our preview season.  In the next couple of weeks, we will be closing shop for the season, but we are happy to announce that the remaining golf holes are were grassed several weeks ago.  So if baring any unusual weather, the full 18 holes should be ready for play in June 2010.
