The first golf and residential waterfront community of its kind in southwest Michigan, Harbor Shores Resort includes the scenic Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course and The Inn at Harbor Shores. The transformational development is a remarkable testament to a vision made possible by $900 million in strategic investments and a collective set of projects with collaborating community leaders and organizations, led by the Whirlpool Foundation and its benefactor, global home appliance leader Whirlpool Corporation.

The Inn also features 14 luxury suites, two top-floor condominiums, a rooftop meeting space, a myriad dining options, full-service spa, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, state-of-the-art meeting rooms and wedding venues for up to 300 guests making it a premier golf and lifestyle venue.
