Michigan Golfers Here’s Your Chance To Play A Round Outside This Winter
A "fun fact" you might not have known is that June is "Michigan Golf Month"
Another fun fact you might not have known about is that you actually have the chance to get in a round of golf with some friends or family in the dead of a Michigan winter.
The Kzoo Parks just announced the first-ever Winter Golf Classic. It will take place on Saturday, January 29th at Woods Lake which is located at 2900 Oakland Drive.
The Winter Golf Classic will feature a 9-hole course on the actual lake.
Kzoo Parks special events coordinator Kya Mitchell told MLive:
“We’re so excited to offer another new event for families to get outside and have fun this winter, Bundle up and have fun trying something new at Woods Lake Park.”
