Michigan Golf Courses : Saginaw County
Saginaw County was named after the Sauk Indians who originally inhabited the area in the 1800’s, before being evicted by the Iroquois and later the Chippewa. (O-Sag-A-Nong) means (land of the Sauks). This area was ceded over by the Chippewa tribe in the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw, signed by then Michigan governor, Lewis Cass. Louis Campau arrived shortly following that, and made fur trapping profitable here. The American Fur Company established a post at what is now the corner of Court and Hamilton Streets in the city of Saginaw. The city was platted in 1836, after which a steady stream of settlers began arriving. Salt mining and lumber helped establish the Saginaw Valley economy at the turn of the century. Today Saginaw County remains an important manufacturing center, home to General Motors Foundries and Saginaw Gear Plants. Aluminum, bronze, gray iron, boilers, chemicals and fertilizers are included in Saginaw County's industries.
Saginaw County is also a popular recreation and tourism area, many nice Michigan golf courses, including Frankenmuth, Christmas Capital of the World. Nearby in Birch Run you can find one of the biggest outlet malls in the country. The historic city of Chesaning is complete with Showboat Festival and fine dining in turn-of-the-century style buildings. Let’s see the many Michigan golf courses in Saginaw County, Michigan.

Season: April 1 thru October 31
Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
This course was built on predominantly flat terrain, but there are still some mounds which can cause uneven lies. Water hazards (seven lakes) come into play on four holes. Because many of the trees lining the fairways are young, the fairways are somewhat open, however they are bordered by a standard cut of rough. The medium-sized greens are severely undulating, but they are so soft that even a shot with a fairway wood will hold. The owner states that these greens are what makes the course difficult.
