Pointe Aux Barques Golf Course is a private course in Port Austin, MI.
Pointe aux Barques Golf Course shares its name with the historic navigation point at the very tip of the Thumb, where the rocky reef called Pointe aux Barques—point of the little boats, in the French of the voyageurs—has marked one of Lake Huron's most significant navigation hazards since the era of sail. The lighthouse at Pointe aux Barques is among the Great Lakes' most historically significant, established in 1847 to warn mariners away from a reef that had wrecked dozens of vessels, and a golf course taking this name connects its identity to the maritime history that gives the Thumb its character as one of the Great Lakes' most dramatic navigation environments. The course serves the Port Austin resort community with the same Tip of the Thumb identity that draws visitors to the lighthouse, the rocky shore, and the authentic Lake Huron character of Huron County's northernmost point.
