Golf in Crystal Falls

Crystal Falls is the county seat of Iron County in the western Upper Peninsula, a community in the iron-mining and logging country whose heritage is preserved in the historic courthouse perched dramatically above the Paint River and the Iron County Museum that documents the mining era's cultural richness. Iron County's character is defined by its mining history—the underground iron ore deposits that drove development in the late nineteenth century—and the outdoor recreation economy built on the region's rivers, lakes, and forest. Crystal Falls' position as a county seat in a remote UP county gives golf here a local community institution function in a market far from metropolitan Michigan.
