CHARLEVOIX COUNTY, Mich,. (WPBN\/WGTU) — Construction is underway to rebuild the historic Belvedere Golf Club in Charlevoix County, nearly one year after a fire destroyed the landmark known as the “Casino,” which had been part of the community since 1922.<\/p>\n
Friday will mark one year since a fire destroyed the Belvedere Golf Club in Charlevoix County.<\/p>\n
We’re told that since the fire, the community has been supportive, with the Grey Gables Restaurant and Catering allowing club members to hold meetings in its facility.<\/p>\n
The construction project started Oct. 5.<\/p>\n
General Manager David Gray says it’s been a year of planning and preparation, including forming two committees to plan social events and construction plans.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, when the members got back it was emotional for many of them, who for generations have grown up here,\u201d Gray said. \u201cBut there was also an excitement of a new building that will last for another 100-150 years. It\u2019s a really neat community.\u201d<\/p>\n
