Clare sits at the geographic heart of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, the last real town before the highway peels north toward Traverse City and the state's celebrated resort golf corridor. It's a gateway community in the truest sense — a place where the flat, agricultural south gives way to the rolling, lake-dotted terrain that makes northern Michigan one of the Midwest's most compelling regions for golf. Firefly Golf Links carries that transitional character, sitting at the edge of where Michigan golf starts to get genuinely interesting.
The "Links" designation signals an intention to evoke open, windswept play rather than the tree-lined parkland corridors that dominate much of inland Michigan. Whether the routing leans hard into that identity or uses it more loosely, the design language suggests a course that rewards shot-shaping and plays differently depending on what the weather decides to do — and in central Michigan, the weather always has opinions.
For travelers heading north, Clare functions as a natural stopping point, and a par-72 layout here makes for a sensible and satisfying way to stretch a road trip into a round of golf before the bigger destination courses farther up the peninsula.
