Golf in Spring Arbor

Spring Arbor is a Jackson County community home to Spring Arbor University—a Free Methodist liberal arts institution—whose academic presence gives the township community a specific educational identity within the agricultural and small-city landscape of Jackson County. The university's influence on the local character, combined with the agricultural surroundings of a county whose interior is primarily farmland, gives Spring Arbor a campus-community feel. Multiple golf courses serve the Spring Arbor area's eastern Jackson County and university-adjacent market. Spring Arbor University's Free Methodist heritage and commitment to civic engagement give the village a distinctive academic identity in the Jackson County landscape.
