Michigan Golf Hall of Fame Inductees  

Stan Aldridge  

Stan Aldridge took ownership of Indianwood in 1981 vowing to bring the once historic club back to its glory. He restored the course to where it has been named by Golf Digest and Golf Magazine as one of the Top 100 courses in the country. He commissioned the New Course that opened in 1988 and drew raves for its design. The clubhouse was completely redesigned, adding a large addition that opened prior to hosting the 1989 U.S. Women’s Open.

He acquired Lakewood Shores , adding the Gailes, which was named as the best new course in the country by Golf Digest. He and his son Kevin have since designed three additional courses.

When Indianwood hosted the 1989 U.S. Women’s Open, the Championship set attendance records that stood until the 1994 Championship, also held at Indianwood and broke attendance records. The club has hosted the Michigan PGA Championship ten times and was the site of the 1930 Western Open.

Aldridge was the leading figure in establishing the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame, being extremely generous with financial support and encouraging participation of the Michigan golf community. Without his support, the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame would not exist.

Elected to the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame in 2005.
