Bay Valley Resort

Bay Valley Resort is a full-service resort and conference center in Bay City, Michigan, founded in 1973 and built around one of the state's most distinctive golf courses — the only course in Michigan designed by renowned architect Desmond Muirhead. Set on rolling fairways, wooded landscapes, and peaceful lake views, the resort has long served as a destination for weddings, corporate retreats, and milestone celebrations. The resort offers 9 flexible event venues spanning 14,000 square feet, accommodating gatherings from intimate boardroom meetings to ballroom receptions of up to 250 banquet guests. With 147 guest rooms and suites on-site, Bay Valley supports multi-day events where guests can stay, dine, and gather without leaving the property. Dining is available at Heatherfields, the resort's on-site restaurant featuring a scratch-kitchen, field-to-fork menu. Bay Valley is currently undergoing a multi-phase revitalization, with recent upgrades to the golf course and renewed focus on the property's classic Midwest character.
