Elks fends off rivals, keeps Interclub trophy Times Herald ADVERTISEMENT Mark Gourlay ST. CLAIR- The Port Huron Elks Golf Club apparently has a stranglehold on the Interclub Tournament trophy. The Elks kept the trophy for the third straight year Sunday, beating rivals St. Clair River Country Club and Port Huron Golf Club. The annual tournament features 20 players of varying handicaps from each of the three clubs. "It's wonderful; we're happy to win it," said the Elks' Mark Gourlay, who took 21/2 of a possible three points Sunday. "The competition is always fantastic, and we were very fortunate to win it." The Elks led by 12 points going into the final round. The lead dwindled a few times, but each time it got close, Gourlay said another Elks player would come in with points.

Hamilton Elks Golf Club - A Donald Ross Original By Bend_of_the_River I was afforded an opportunity to play the Hamilton Elks Golf Club this afternoon. The Hamilton Elks Golf Club was designed by famed golf course designer Donald Ross in 1925. Mr. Ross is one of my all time favorite golf architects and his golf courses, although not long by today’s standards offer a lot more character and still demand good, well placed golf shots throughout your round.

Elks Club hidden with big surprises For the first few months I lived here, as I would head out to Parkside High School, I noticed the little golf course in the middle of town. I figured it had to be an executive course of some type, if not a par-3. I didn't think there was any way to fit a full course into the small area I could see. Eventually I asked about it, and indeed the Elks Club was a full, nine-hole course. But I heard "Elks Club" and assumed they didn't want anyone else there. Much to my surprise, the semi-private club is open to the public, and very friendly to the public as well.
