Take your best shot! Experience Historic Monroe County Golf
by John Patterson

From the first blush of spring to winter's first chill, those who love the game of golf will have no difficulty finding a course to suit their taste in historic Monroe County. With over twenty scenic courses to choose from, Monroe County assists the state of Michigan in leading the nation with more public golf courses than any other state. And as a Lake Erie West Community, Monroe is part of a highly diversified golf region incompassing Michigan and Ohio as well as our international neighbors on Lake Erie in Canada.

Bring the family and enjoy the hometown feel of Michigan's third oldest community. While you're on the links, the rest of the family can spend the day on the beach at beautiful Sterling State Park, or shop 'till they drop at one of Monroe's three primary shopping areas: Historic Downtown Monroe, The Horizon Outlet Center or Frenchtown Square Mall. And of course you won't want to miss the history that is evident every where you turn.
