How Many Golf Courses Are in Michigan?

Michigan's golf landscape encompasses 737 named golf courses and country clubs distributed across 569 cities and 83 counties. This compilation draws from the USGS Geographic Names Information System, the federal gazetteer of named places, ensuring that every entry represents a real, named facility organized by geographic location.

Because the GNIS functions as a catalog of named geographic features rather than a directory of active commercial operations, the listing represents a partial and historical snapshot of Michigan's golf facilities. Newly established courses or recently renamed facilities may not yet appear in the system, and operational details such as public-or-private designation, current fee structures, and course layout are not included in the federal geographic record.

The directory serves as a reference tool for locating and identifying courses by city and county. Those seeking to visit a specific facility should confirm details directly through the course's own website, where current information about operating hours, rate schedules, and tee-time availability can be verified.

Directory note. Listings come from the USGS GNIS named-feature gazetteer (2021 vintage) and are partial — public/private status, green fees and course layout aren't in the federal record. Confirm details on each course’s own site.

How to use the Michigan directory

Start by narrowing to where you want to play — by city, or more reliably by county — then open a course for its locality detail. Every listing is a real, named facility from the federal gazetteer; for tee times, green fees and public-or-private status, check the course’s own site, since those aren’t in the GNIS record.
