Golf in Ironwood

Ironwood is a Gogebic County city on the Wisconsin border at the western extreme of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a community shared with neighboring Hurley, Wisconsin in a border city pair whose history is rooted in the Gogebic Iron Range—the westernmost of Michigan's three iron ranges. Ironwood's geographic isolation at the far western tip of the UP, the shared cultural identity with the Wisconsin communities across the Montreal River, and the outdoor recreation economy centered on the region's forests, lakes, and the Big Powderhorn and Blackjack ski areas give the community its distinctive far-west UP character. Golf near Ironwood serves the modest local market of a remote western UP border city.
