Golf in Cedar

Cedar is a small Leelanau County community in the agricultural and cherry-growing terrain of the Leelanau Peninsula, a village serving the fruit-growing economy that has defined this part of northern Michigan since Polish immigrant farmers began cultivating the peninsula's stony, well-drained soils for tart cherries in the late nineteenth century. Leelanau County's cherry and wine-grape agriculture—the Leelanau Wine Trail includes numerous wineries in the immediate area—combined with the peninsula's natural beauty and resort character gives Cedar and the surrounding communities a quality-of-life identity that has attracted both agricultural workers and the affluent seasonal and year-round residents drawn to the Leelanau Peninsula's exceptional character.
