Golf in Grayling

Grayling is the county seat of Crawford County in the northern Lower Peninsula, a community on the Au Sable River whose world-famous trout fishing—the river is a fly-fishing destination of national renown—has historically been the centerpiece of the outdoor recreation economy, though golf has developed alongside fishing as a complementary recreation for visitors to the northern Michigan resort corridor. The Au Sable's national reputation draws fly-fishing enthusiasts from across the country to the Grayling area's many lodges and outfitters, and the surrounding Crawford County terrain of second-growth jack pine and hardwood supports the multiple courses that serve the resort market in what has become a significant golf destination in the northern Lower Peninsula.
