Golf in Shelby

Shelby is an Oceana County village in the fruit-belt agricultural country west of US-31 in west Michigan, a community in the cherry and fruit production zone where the lake-effect climate creates conditions for commercial fruit growing at latitudes that would otherwise be too cold. Oceana County's agricultural identity—alongside the Lake Michigan shoreline county's tourism draw—gives Shelby a working-farm character in a county that combines significant agricultural output with the recreation economy of the Lake Michigan shore. Golf near Shelby serves the modest local market of a west Michigan fruit-belt community.
