Our Beginning

Our Beginning

Part of what sets Egypt Valley apart is our long history in the community. Egypt Valley Country Club's story began in 1921 as the Masonic Country Club. In 1931, the Masonic Country Club became Green Ridge Country Club. More than half a century later, the members of Green Ridge voted to sell the property and construct a stunning new facility and golf course on a beautiful rolling 357-acre property just east of the city.

The new club offered members a unique combination of two 18-hole golf courses, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, three regulation tennis courts, and a welcoming clubhouse. Located on a combination of old-growth forest land and river-valley plateau, the area became known as Egypt Valley beginning in the mid 19th century. The new facility was appropriately named Egypt Valley Country Club.

Today, Egypt Valley serves as Grand Rapids’ favorite country club - a destination that feels like a vacation, every time.
