Michigan Golf Courses : Newaygo County
Newaygo County was named after Chippewa Indian Chief : Naw-wa-goo, one of the signers of the Treaty of Saginaw in 1812. Settlement of the area began in 1836 when Michel Charleau took a group of businessmen from Chicago up the Muskegon River and observed the great expanse of white pine there. The first sawmill was built by the Pennoyer Brothers a few years later at the junction of the Muskegon River, and a creek bears their name a few miles northeast of what is now the city of Newaygo. The lumber boom in the last half of the 1800’s was very good to this area, and put the county on the map. The Muskegon River, Michigan’s largest, became the lifeblood of the area, first for transporting lumber, and later for hydroelectric power. Three huge dams were built after the turn of the century: Croton, Hardy and Newaygo. Croton and Hardy Dams remain today, with Hardy the largest earthen dam east of the Mississippi. Newaygo County today relies on tourism as its main economic support such as Michigan golf courses, with agriculture and small manufacturing secondary. The Muskegon River continues to be the main attraction for summer cottage residents and fishermen, who find it nearly the best source for steelhead in the spring and salmon in the fall anywhere in Michigan. Hunting, camping and RV’ing are also excellent, as over half the county is contained in the Manistee National Forest. Let’s see the Michigan golf courses in Newaygo County, Michigan.

This course's back nine is known for its wooded beauty. The overall course's greens are small and sloped, making putting very difficult. Nine holes are tree lined, and many are well bunkered.

This facility has an eighteen hole regulation course and a nine hole regulation course. These courses will eventually be played in three nine hole courses that can be used as three eighteen hole combinations. Water hazards (lakes, streams, ponds, and creeks) come into play on fourteen of the twenty-seven holes. Four of the elevated tees measure over 100 feet in height. The hilly fairways are narrow and wind through a thicket of oak trees.

Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
This course has been written up in the local newspaper as being of high quality. The course is extremely well maintained. The fairways are narrow and tree-lined and the greens are well bunkered. It is best to lay-up short of the greens on the par 5's, since most of them are out of range of most long hitters.
