Oakland University Katke Cousins Course to Host Hall Financial Michigan Open

The Michigan Open Championship will be played at the Oakland University’s Katke-Cousins Golf Course.

The 106th edition of the state championship for Michigan golfers will be played June 12-15 under a new two-year host agreement. The championship has been played the previous five years, and 33 times over the years, at Grand Traverse Resort and Spa near Traverse City.

Hall Financial will be the title sponsor for the second consecutive year. 

“I loved going to the Bear at Grand Traverse and playing in the Michigan Open but I just felt like some luster had fallen off as well as attention and notoriety in the last few years and that the Open could use a shakeup,” David Hall said. “My goal is to help make it the biggest and best state open championship in the country.”

A purse for the championship will be announced at a later date. Last year the field played for $85,000.
