Golf in Alpena

Alpena is a Lake Huron port city and the county seat of Alpena County on Michigan's northeastern Lower Peninsula shore, a community that combines a working commercial harbor with one of the region's more significant wilderness diving destinations—the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary, protecting the hundreds of shipwrecks in the clear waters of Thunder Bay. The Thunder Bay sanctuary has transformed Alpena's recreational identity, bringing divers from across the country to explore well-preserved nineteenth-century wrecks in the remarkably clear Lake Huron waters. Golf in Alpena serves the year-round residents of a Lake Huron city whose economy spans commercial fishing, manufacturing, and the growing tourism infrastructure built around the sanctuary and the natural beauty of northeastern Michigan's relatively undeveloped lakeshore.
