ABOUT WATERMARK COUNTRY CLUB

Located in the heart of Cascade Township, Watermark Country Club offers one of the most established golf-course lifestyles in the Grand Rapids area. This sought-after Forest Hills community blends private club amenities, scenic surroundings, and a convenient location just minutes from shopping, dining, and downtown Grand Rapids.

Homes and condominiums at Watermark range from low-maintenance villas to executive-style residences, many featuring golf course views, wooded settings, and quiet cul-de-sac streets. Buyers are drawn to the combination of resort-style living and everyday convenience within the award-winning Forest Hills Public Schools district.

WATERMARK & THE REDWATER GOLF COLLECTION

Watermark Country Club is part of the RedWater Golf Collection, a West Michigan-based organization that operates a network of private clubs, public golf courses, restaurants, and event venues throughout the Grand Rapids area and along the Lakeshore. Founded locally in 1998, RedWater has grown into one of the region’s largest hospitality and golf operators, managing multiple private country clubs and recreational facilities across West Michigan.

For members, this connection provides a unique advantage compared to traditional single-club memberships. Through RedWater, Watermark members have reciprocal access to several prominent West Michigan courses under one membership, allowing golfers to experience a variety of layouts and club environments while maintaining Watermark as their home club.

The RedWater network includes both private and public golf destinations such as Thousand Oaks Golf Club, StoneWater Country Club, Sunnybrook Country Club, Thornapple Pointe Golf Club, and additional Lakeshore properties. This multi-club model adds flexibility for members and helps maintain strong amenities, dining programs, and year-round social activity across all participating clubs.

For homeowners, RedWater’s involvement has helped position Watermark as more than just a golf course neighborhood — it functions as part of a broader lifestyle system that combines golf, dining, events, and social programming throughout West Michigan.
