MKT Associates established Railside Golf Club in 1991 as part of a real estate development. In 1999, the members elected to purchase Railside from MKT, and the Club became member owned. In 2009, it became privately owned when it was purchased by Railside Acquisition LLC. The golf course was designed by renowned Michigan golf course architect Jerry Mathews.
Today Railside Golf Club consists of an 18-hole private golf course, driving range & practice facility, swimming pool, full-service clubhouse, restaurant, pro shop, and Union Pavilion event venue.
