Golf in Advance

Advance is a small Charlevoix County community on the eastern shore of Lake Charlevoix in northern Michigan's resort corridor, occupying the wooded terrain between Boyne City and East Jordan in a county whose lake country has attracted resort development and affluent seasonal residents since the late nineteenth century. The Lake Charlevoix area's natural character—clear water, forested hills, the resort tradition that has drawn visitors from Detroit and Chicago for generations—provides the context for golf in a community whose small year-round population is amplified significantly by the seasonal cottage and resort traffic that defines the Charlevoix County economy during the warm months.
