Golf in Kalkaska

Kalkaska is the county seat of Kalkaska County in the northern Lower Peninsula, a small community known for the National Trout Festival each April and a county whose fishing, hunting, and outdoor recreation economy reflects the north-Michigan resort and recreation landscape. Kalkaska County's oil and natural gas resources—the county is part of the Michigan gas field—gave it an economic dimension beyond tourism in the twentieth century, and the combination of resource extraction history and year-round recreation economy gives Kalkaska its northern Michigan small-county character. Golf near Kalkaska serves the modest local market of a northern Michigan county seat.
