Inside The Cardinal at Saint John’s Resort | Michigan Golf Live TV
🏌️♂️ Welcome to Michigan Golf Live TV! In this episode, host Bill Hobson takes you on an exclusive tour of The Cardinal at Saint John’s Resort, located in beautiful Plymouth, Michigan. This newly transformed public golf destination is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about courses in the Midwest—and for good reason.
Designed by acclaimed architect Raymond Hearn, The Cardinal debuted in 2024 with an 18-hole, par-72 championship layout featuring dramatic elevation changes, mature tree-lined fairways, and striking bunkering. Stretching up to 7,002 yards from the tips, this course challenges elite players while offering a fair, fun experience for golfers of all skill levels.
But The Cardinal is more than just 18 holes:
⛳️ The Little Cardinal – A 7-hole par-3 short course that’s fun, fast, and perfect for beginners, families, or a warm-up before the main round.
⛳️ The Cardinal Putting Course – Modeled after the famed Himalayas Putting Course in St. Andrews, this 2-acre natural grass layout offers 18 creative, undulating holes of putting fun.
Off the course, Saint John’s Resort delivers a luxury experience with top-tier amenities:
🍽️ Doyles Irish Pub
🥩 Five Steakhouse
🍷 The Wine Grotto – an underground speakeasy-style venue
🛌 Lavish accommodations and event spaces
Even better? All net proceeds from the resort support the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation, making every swing part of something meaningful.
Whether you’re looking for championship-level golf, a fun family round, or a memorable staycation, The Cardinal at Saint John’s Resort is a must-visit.
