Hotel Golfmore – Grand Beach Michigan – c1900

Sepia-Toned Photo Of A Long Resort Hotel With Two Tower-Like Ends Above A Sandy Lake Michigan Beach, With Small Groups Of People Walking On The Slope Below.

Hotel Golfmore rises above the sand at Grand Beach, Michigan, in this souvenir-style photo, with people walking the slope below and the wide Lake Michigan beach in front.

The date “c. 1920” fits the era, but the best-documented timelines place the Golfmore’s debut in the early 1920s (often cited as 1921–22). The big hotel became part of Grand Beach’s resort scene — and it was gone by 1939, when a fire destroyed the building.

This image is also marked “Marquette photo,” suggesting it was sold or circulated as a keepsake for visitors.

Do you have any family stories, postcards, or memories tied to the Golfmore?
