Freighter Golf: Around the Great Lakes

Freighter Golf: Around the Great Lakes offers a creative way to explore regional maritime heritage while enjoying a putting game. Taking place aboard the historic Col. James M. Schoonmaker Museum Ship, this activity features five custom-designed putting holes, each inspired by one of the Great Lakes. As you navigate the course, you'll learn about the stories, landmarks, and rich history connected to these important waterways. It's a blend of recreation and education that works well for families, friends, or anyone visiting solo. The best part? Freighter Golf is included with your Museum Ship admission, so there's no extra charge to participate. Throughout the month, weekly hole-in-one opportunities give players a chance to win a free museum membership. Whether your family enjoys mini golf, Great Lakes history, or simply trying something different during a museum visit, this event delivers a fun, accessible experience for a range of ages and interests.
