Ella Sharp Park Golf Course

Ella Sharp Park Golf Course serves Jackson within one of mid-Michigan's most significant city parks, a large natural park donated to the city by the Sharp family and named for Ella Sharp, a philanthropist whose generosity created the museum, the park, and the civic legacy that bears her name in Jackson's most substantial public green space. Ella Sharp Park's character—the museum, the historical buildings, the farmstead, and the natural landscape that the Sharp family preserved from agricultural conversion—makes it one of Jackson's most valued civic assets, and the golf course occupies a portion of the park's natural terrain. Golf within the Ella Sharp Park framework provides a public recreational option embedded in the city's most important natural and cultural landscape, serving Jackson's residential population with accessible course conditions within a parkland setting that few Michigan cities of comparable size can match.
