Golf in Lansing

Lansing is Michigan's state capital on the Grand River, a city whose governmental, automotive (Oldsmobile was born here; GM's Lansing plants endure), and university character (Michigan State is in adjacent East Lansing) give it a distinctive identity among Midwest state capitals. The state government functions that arrived after the capital moved from Detroit in 1847 have made Lansing a permanent government and policy center, and the MSU research and educational presence has added an academic dimension to a city that has worked to develop an innovation economy around the automotive and government base. Golf in the Lansing area serves a substantial metropolitan market spanning Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton counties.
