Golf in Burton

Burton is a Genesee County city immediately east and south of Flint, a community that developed as a bedroom suburb of the automotive manufacturing city and has maintained its residential character through the economic challenges that have affected the broader Flint metropolitan area. Burton's position in the Genesee County suburban ring gives it the demographic character of a working and middle-class community whose economy has been tied to the automotive industry's employment base for generations, and the city's golf infrastructure reflects the practical recreational expectations of a community that values accessible, community-scale golf facilities at working-class price points.
