Michigan’s Island Resort and Casino, located in Harris, is set to undergo a transformative $19 million expansion that will include a brand new golf course and expanded convention space. The project, which is the largest in the resort’s history, is expected to enhance the guest experience and attract more visitors to the Upper Peninsula.
The centerpiece of the expansion is a new 18-hole championship golf course that will offer stunning views of the resort’s lush surroundings. The course, designed by renowned golf course architect Tom Doak, will feature challenging holes and pristine fairways that will appeal to golf enthusiasts of all skill levels. In addition to the golf course, the resort will also be adding a state-of-the-art golf academy to provide guests with professional instruction and coaching.
In addition to the golf course, the expansion will also include a significant expansion of the resort’s convention space. The new convention center will feature over 10,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, making it an ideal venue for weddings, corporate events, and other gatherings. The expanded space will also be equipped with the latest technology and amenities to ensure that guests have everything they need for a successful event.
“We are thrilled to announce this exciting expansion project that will further enhance the guest experience at Island Resort and Casino,” said Tony Mancilla, general manager of the resort. “The addition of a new golf course and expanded convention space will not only attract more visitors to the area, but also provide our guests with even more opportunities to enjoy everything that the resort has to offer.”
Construction on the expansion is set to begin in the coming months, with the golf course expected to open in the summer of next year and the expanded convention space to be completed by the fall. The resort is currently taking reservations for events and golf outings starting in 2023.
In addition to the new golf course and expanded convention space, the expansion project will also include upgrades to the resort’s existing amenities, including its gaming floor, restaurants, and entertainment venues. The resort currently features over 1,200 slot machines, several dining options, and a full-service spa, making it a popular destination for both gaming enthusiasts and those looking for a relaxing getaway.
With the launch of this $19 million expansion project, Michigan’s Island Resort and Casino is poised to become an even more popular destination for visitors looking to experience the beauty and excitement of the Upper Peninsula. Whether guests are looking to hit the links on the new golf course, host a memorable event in the expanded convention space, or simply relax and unwind in the resort’s luxurious accommodations, the resort is sure to have something for everyone.
