Golf in Gowen

Gowen is a very small Montcalm County community in the agricultural interior of west-central Michigan, a crossroads village in the farming country between Grand Rapids and the northern resort destinations. Montcalm County's agricultural character—potatoes, dry beans, and the diverse crop production of a county whose varied soils and climate create specific agricultural niches—gives Gowen the practical, agricultural-village character of a small community serving the immediate rural population without the commercial or resort infrastructure of a larger market center. Golf near Gowen serves the modest local market of a rural Montcalm County community.
