Golf in Alto

Alto is a small Kent County community in the Thornapple River valley south of Grand Rapids, a rural and residential township community whose agricultural and residential character has been shaped by the Grand Rapids metropolitan market's southward growth. The Thornapple River corridor through Alto Township provides the natural landscape that has sustained both agriculture and recreational development in a community that sits within easy commuting distance of Grand Rapids while maintaining a genuinely rural character that the city's outer fringe has gradually consumed. Golf in Alto reflects the recreational expectations of a Kent County community that draws from both the agricultural rural population and the suburban residential market that has followed US-131 south from Grand Rapids.
