Golf in Mount Clemens

Mount Clemens is the county seat of Macomb County in the northern Detroit metropolitan area, a city on the Clinton River whose nineteenth-century mineral baths—once a nationally known health spa destination with mineral springs that attracted visitors seeking cures—gave way to a more conventional suburban character as the Macomb County automobile-era suburbs expanded. The historic spa era left Mount Clemens with a cluster of ornate Victorian-era buildings that represent the earlier prosperity, and the county government functions continue to make the city a commercial anchor even as the Macomb County population center has shifted northward. Multiple golf courses serve the Mount Clemens area and the broader Macomb County market.
