Golf Courses in the New Buffalo Area
New Buffalo, Michigan is located in the nation's Fruit Belt – and that means great weather! Cool breezes coming in off Lake Michigan temper the hot summer sun and warm lake breezes take the chill out of the air in spring and fall. The golf season here may not be any longer than elsewhere but it sure seems like it.
