Golf in Crystal

Crystal is a very small Montcalm County community in the agricultural interior of west-central Michigan, a crossroads village in the flat farming country between Grand Rapids and Mount Pleasant whose character reflects the practical agricultural economy of a Montcalm County township without resort or metropolitan adjacency to amplify its modest scale. The Crystal area's position in the Flat River watershed gives it the natural context of a mid-Michigan agricultural community, and golf here serves the small local market of a village that functions primarily as a neighborhood center for the dispersed rural population of the surrounding Montcalm County farmland.
