Angels Crossing Golf Club is located in Vicksburg, Mich., about 12 outside Kalamazoo. Angels Crossing is an affordable public golf course (at time of this writing, all rates were under $40) whose designer, W. Bruce Matthews III, set out to evoke the "Golden Age" of golf course architecture from the early 1900s.

Matthews writes of the course, "The layout looks and plays like a 100-year old course. Angels Crossing blends well with its surrounding environment. The simple elegance of the grand old courses and Angels Crossing are defined by the routing. The formula 'work with what the property lends itself to' works as well today as it did 100 years ago.

"Standing on traditional rectangular tee boxes, the golfer may recognize two cape holes, a redan, a punch bowl, a biarritz and a long, all reminiscent of the originals. The bunkering features steep, bold grass faces and flat sand. Various classic bunker designs include bottleneck bunkers, carry bunkers, a cardinal bunker and a principal’s nose."
