WELCOME TO
Michigan's Best Kept Secret
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.
THE RIVER BAR
Reimagined
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 to the bar over the years. Whether it’s watching a classic wooden runabout cruise by or hearing the roaring sounds of an offshore racer – there's no more perfect setting to imbibe in a cocktail or two. And today, we couldn't be more excited about the future of The Old Club - and a completely reimagined River Bar - for the next generation.

What Members are Saying
"Growing up, The Old Club was more than just a place; it was a magical, almost mysterious island that would appear out of the mist as we crossed the lake. Now that my wife Lindsay and I became members of our own, she finally understands what I’d always cherished about this special community."
ADAM LAWRIE
“When we had a cottage up north, we were lucky to get up there once or twice a month in the summer. The Old Club offers us that same feeling of being up north, but less than an hour away.”
DAN FELSTOW
"Family and tradition are intertwined, with traditions acting as the threads that connect generations and create a sense of belonging. The Old Club certainly personifies both, and it has been such a privilege to raise our boys here."
MARINA SOUTHERS
“I was blessed to be exposed to The Old Club at a very early age. We were frequent guests coming by boat from across the bay to enjoy all of the wonderful amenities we've all come to expect here. It gives me such pleasure to continue that tradition with my family each and every weekend in the summer.”
DR. STEVEN GREKIN
"After two long years, we are finally building the cottage of our dreams at The Old Club. Phil and I overwhelmed by the support we have received from our fellow club members."
