Golf in Elkton

Elkton is a small Huron County community in the agricultural interior of the Thumb region, a village in the flat farming country near the tip of the peninsula where the sugar beet, dry bean, and grain crops of the Thumb's intensive agriculture define the landscape and the economy. The Thumb's agricultural character reaches its most concentrated form in the communities near the tip, where the flat terrain and the clay-heavy soils of the former glacial lake bed have made the land extraordinarily productive for the specific crops that Thumb farmers have cultivated for over a century. Golf in Elkton serves the small local market of a farming community whose recreational infrastructure is modest relative to the agricultural scale of the surrounding land.
