‘Craft Brew Open’ Features Golf, Beer, Autumn

If you like beer, golf and autumn, this is the event for you.

Gull Lake View Golf Club & Resort and West Michigan Beer Tours have partnered to showcase two of the region’s biggest attractions for the inaugural West Michigan Craft Brew Open to be held Oct. 16-18.

The weekend combines golf and craft beer into three days and two nights of seasonal relaxation and fun. The Craft Brew Open is highlighted by three days of golf, two nights of lodging, a pair of brewery tours to six different breweries over two evenings, food, prizes and more.

Guests can enjoy the changing colors of autumn, lower their handicap and sample the unique beer styles inspired by the fall.

Tickets start at $54 for a brewery tour on either Friday or Saturday with a tee time or for the club members. On Saturday, the craft beer tournament and beer tour is $129 and will also includes dinner with a cocktail hour and a beer sampling sponsored by One Well Brewing from Kalamazoo. The full weekend package is $429.
