WELCOME TO
The Old Club on Harsens Island is an exclusive island resort and yacht club surrounded by the pristine, fresh water of the Great Lakes delta known as the St. Clair Flats. Generations of fortunate families have enjoyed boating, water skiing, fishing, freighter watching, and the camaraderie of friendships that last a lifetime. Members appreciate its proximity to the Metro Detroit area, making it an ideal destination close to home – yet so far away.
IN HONOR OF OUR
No bar anywhere on Lake St. Clair or the surrounding areas can match the panoramic views of The Old Club’s iconic River Bar. Fishers, Fords and Dodges have all saddled up at our bar over the years. Whether it’s watching a classic wooden runabout cruise by, or hearing the roaring sounds of an offshore racer – the River Bar is the perfect setting to imbibe in a cocktail or two. And in anticipation of our 150th anniversary next year, we’re excited to announce a completely remodeled and reimagined River Bar.
How can you navigate the future if you don’t know your past?
SINCE 1872
It is the goal of The Old Club to provide its members with a number of convenient services to make their time at the club even more enjoyable and relaxing. Perhaps the only thing more special than The Old Club’s phenomenal location is the quality of the people who enjoy and share this treasure.
OUR REVIEWS
The Old Club is devastated to see the most iconic and historic gems of Harsens Island, the candy colored boardwalk cottages that have stretched to the tip of the island for decades, succumb to destruction by fire on March 8, 2023.
There were thankfully no injuries other than to our hearts. The Board of Directors are securing a professional team of environmental specialists to advise on clean up and mitigate any environmental impact of this disaster. We are also engaging engineering expertise to begin rehabilitation of the site.
Six housing structures of historic significance that have long been family cottages were lost today. But, we intend to restore the property back to its historic charm. The Old Club celebrated its 150th Anniversary last season and this unfortunate setback, while heartbreaking, will not deter us from continuing a century and a half of tradition.
