Golf in Mears

Mears is a small Oceana County community near Silver Lake on the Lake Michigan shoreline, a community adjacent to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes—a unique inland dune area that allows off-road vehicles on the dunes, which distinguishes it from the prohibited dune access at Sleeping Bear—creating one of Michigan's more distinctive recreational landscapes. Silver Lake State Park's dune terrain draws OHV riders and beach visitors from throughout the Midwest, and the Mears area's resort character is shaped by this unusual recreational offering. Golf near Mears serves the seasonal Silver Lake resort market.
