Golf in Battle Creek

Battle Creek is a Calhoun County city known worldwide as 'Cereal City,' the birthplace of the American breakfast cereal industry—W.K. Kellogg founded the Kellogg Company here in 1906 after the cereal traditions established by the Battle Creek Sanitarium's vegetarian diet regimen. The Kellogg Foundation's philanthropic legacy and the company's corporate presence have shaped Battle Creek's civic character with extraordinary institutional investment relative to the city's size, from the Binder Park Zoo to the McCamly Park downtown hotel complex. Golf in Battle Creek reflects the civic culture of a mid-Michigan city whose corporate and philanthropic heritage has sustained quality recreational infrastructure through the economic transitions that have challenged similar-sized manufacturing cities in the region.
