Golf in Holland

Holland is an Ottawa County city on Lake Macatawa—the channel lake that connects to Lake Michigan—whose Dutch heritage is celebrated with Tulip Time Festival each May, drawing half a million visitors and expressing the cultural identity that Dutch Reformed settlers established when they colonized this part of West Michigan in 1847. Hope College, the community's liberal arts anchor, and the Herman Miller furniture manufacturing heritage reflect the intellectual and industrial character of a city that has maintained a distinct Dutch-Reformed cultural flavor even as it has grown into a significant West Michigan commercial and residential center. Multiple golf courses serve the Holland area's combination of city, suburban, and seasonal lake market.
