Your Birchwood Journey Starts Here.

Explore a variety of membership options that perfectly fit you and your family.

Choose the membership that opens the door to your Birchwood life. Whether you're drawn to our Social Membership for community and dining, ready for full access through non-resident General Membership, or exploring Property Membership with your own Northern Michigan home, you'll discover genuine friendships and community.

Your Home,
Your Membership

Property Membership:

Picture yourself already settled into your Birchwood home, or watching your dream house take shape on one of our 130+ available lots.

Full club membership is included with property ownership. Buy an existing home and you're welcomed into the community from day one. Choose a lot and build—by move-in, you're already known and connected. This is where owning property means instant belonging, whether you're turning the key or breaking ground.

Join and Make Connections

General Membership:

Join the community now and gain full access to everything Birchwood offers without purchasing property. This non-resident membership gives you the same amenities as Property Members: pristine golf, dining, fitness, tennis, pools, and most importantly, the chance to build genuine friendships.
SOCIAL - Pickleball game at Birchwood

Experience Birchwood Life

Social Membership:

Experience exceptional dining, fitness, tennis, pickleball, pools—without the golf commitment.

Start with pickleball on our Har-Tru courts, followed by lunch with neighbors. Afternoons bring pool time with the kids or a workout before dinner in the Grill Room.

Social members choose this path because community happens everywhere at Birchwood, not just on the fairways. You'll wonder how you ever spent Northern Michigan weekends any other way.

Note: Social Memberships are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Start Your Journey Early

Junior Membership:

Build your Birchwood life while you're still building your career and family. This membership gives you full access—pristine golf, dining, fitness, tennis, pools—with age-based dues. Watch your kids grow up knowing the same families you do. Form friendships with other young professionals navigating the same stage of life. Create traditions that will define your family's Northern Michigan story for decades. Your investment stays manageable while your connections deepen.

Hear From Our Members:

"We decided to join Birchwood in March 2020 as part of the club's inaugural group of general members. Since becoming members, Birchwood has become a place where we enjoy spending time. Our adult children and grandchildren look forward to visiting - whether enjoying the pool, playing golf, or simply relaxing together. The golf course and amenities provide something for everyone."

–Len Vining

"As a young professional and New York City resident, I was looking for a club with top-tier golf and a peaceful setting to truly unwind. Birchwood provides that rare balance of quality and escape. What sets it apart most is the staff - professional, warm, and attentive. It genuinely feels like a home away from home, a place I always look forward to returning to."

–Devin McIntyre
