Detailed description

Country Club Of Jackson is a Private, 27 hole golf facility located in Jackson, Michigan. Supervisors' Country Club has three 9-hole golf courses. These courses can be combined in pairs to form three different 18 hole course challenges. The nine-hole courses are The Pines Course, The Marsh Course, and The Woods Course.

The club originally had eighteen holes, made up of the Woods Course and the Pines Course, The Marsh Course was added in 1991. Members play the original eighteen holes more frequently. The Marsh Course gave the club some holes with water in play. The old courses are mostly flat, while the new course has hills, ditches and elevated tees and greens. All twenty-seven holes have tree-lined fairways.

Jackson's roots date to 1898 when Clara Carter, who learned to play golf while attending an eastern college, laid out nine holes near Vandercook Lake, east of the present CCJ site. That club was called Meadow Heights and eventually its members sold the land and bought two land grant farms on Horton Road.

Arthur Ham, who had worked as a field superintendent for Donald Ross, laid out 18 holes that opened for play in 1926. The course has stood the test of time, nothing fancy, no tricks, no island greens, forced carries or cross hazards, everything laid in front of you with the holes bordered by a variety of splendid mature trees, giant oaks, evergreens, pines and firs.

The Marsh Nine was designed by Arthur Hills and opened for play in 1991.
