Website Redesign for Clark Lake Golf Course & Restaurant: Golf, Dining, and Events in One Scenic Destination

Showcasing the Beauty and Versatility of a Local Landmark

Rooted Pixels partnered with Clark Lake Golf Course & Restaurant to redesign their website and elevate their online presence to match the quality of their 27-hole golf course, full-service restaurant, and popular event venue. Nestled between Columbia Lake and Clark Lake, this destination combines recreation, dining, and celebration in one picturesque setting. The goal of the new website was to create a user-friendly, visually engaging platform that highlights the course’s natural beauty, promotes event bookings, and attracts both local visitors and destination golfers.

Project Goals and Vision

Clark Lake Golf Course offers far more than a great round of golf—it’s also home to a vibrant restaurant and a sought-after event venue for weddings and celebrations. The project’s main objective was to showcase each part of the business with equal importance while maintaining a cohesive brand identity. The website needed to appeal to golfers, diners, and event planners alike—while being easy to navigate and optimized for search engines and mobile users.

Key Features of the Website Design

The new Clark Lake Golf Course & Restaurant website blends functionality, local charm, and visual appeal. Each section was carefully designed to reflect the venue’s relaxed yet professional atmosphere and make it simple for users to explore everything the property offers.

• Golf Course Showcase: A dedicated golf section highlights the 27-hole layout, scenic views, and course amenities. Visitors can easily find details about tee times, memberships, and course features, complete with high-quality images and engaging descriptions.
• Restaurant & Sports Pub Page: A lively section introduces the on-site restaurant and sports pub, featuring menus, weekly specials, and details about the welcoming atmosphere that makes it a local favorite for dining and post-game gatherings.
• Event Venue Promotion: The events page emphasizes the venue’s flexibility, showcasing photo galleries, capacity information, and examples of past weddings and celebrations to inspire new bookings.
• Easy Booking & Inquiry Options: “Book a Tee Time,” “Reserve a Table,” and “Plan an Event” calls-to-action are strategically placed to encourage quick engagement and streamline visitor interactions.

Enhancing User Experience and Accessibility

Since the Clark Lake Golf Course serves multiple audiences, Rooted Pixels designed the site to be intuitive and mobile-friendly. Visitors can seamlessly navigate between golf, restaurant, and event pages without confusion.

• Mobile-Responsive Layout: The new design adapts perfectly across devices, ensuring a consistent and beautiful experience for users browsing from smartphones or tablets.
• Intuitive Navigation: A clear menu and logical page structure make it easy for golfers to find tee time info, diners to view menus, and event planners to explore venue options.
• Visual Storytelling: High-resolution images of the golf course, restaurant, and event spaces capture the property’s character and charm while reinforcing brand identity.

Optimized for Local Search and Growth

As a regional destination for recreation and events, local SEO was a top priority. Rooted Pixels optimized the new Clark Lake website for search engines to help attract new visitors, event bookings, and restaurant traffic.

• Targeted Keyword Optimization: The site was optimized for terms like “Clark Lake golf course,” “golf near Jackson MI,” “wedding venue in Clark Lake,” and “restaurants near Columbia Lake.”
• Google Business Integration: The site was connected to Clark Lake Golf Course’s Google Business Profile, improving map search visibility and user engagement.
• Local SEO Focus: On-page optimization, schema markup, and localized content help the site rank higher for nearby searches and drive more organic traffic.

Highlighting Events and Hospitality

With a growing reputation as a top event venue, the new website needed to make event planning simple and inviting. The events page was designed to communicate flexibility, style, and convenience.

• Venue Highlights: Information about indoor and outdoor spaces, capacity for up to 200 guests, and amenities such as catering and bar service helps visitors envision their event.
• Photo Galleries: Stunning imagery showcases past weddings, retirement parties, graduations, and other celebrations to inspire new clients.
• Inquiry Form: A quick “Request Event Info” form makes it easy for interested guests to reach out for pricing and availability.

Connecting Golfers, Diners, and Event Planners

Because Clark Lake Golf Course appeals to multiple audiences, Rooted Pixels ensured that each page of the website encourages cross-engagement. A golfer might explore the restaurant after booking a tee time, or an event planner could consider golf outings as part of their wedding weekend. Strategic internal linking throughout the site enhances SEO and user experience while maximizing opportunities for conversions.
