Golf in Owosso

Owosso is the county seat of Shiawassee County in mid-Michigan, a city on the Shiawassee River whose manufacturing heritage—Curwood Castle, former home of novelist James Oliver Curwood, reflects the cultural ambitions of an earlier era—and current role as the commercial center for an agricultural county give it the character of a genuine mid-Michigan small city. Shiawassee County's agricultural base in the Shiawassee River valley and the modest manufacturing that has persisted support Owosso as a county seat that has maintained its commercial function even as the larger regional centers have drawn away some economic activity. Multiple golf courses serve the Owosso area's county-seat market.
