Getting there
# Getting There
Diamond Springs Golf Course sits in the quiet farmland of southwest Michigan, most easily reached via Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids (GRR), roughly forty-five minutes to the north, or through the smaller Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International (AZO) for those seeking a more direct approach. The drive south from Grand Rapids carries you through the rolling countryside of Allegan County, where the landscape gradually shifts from suburban sprawl to open fields and tree-lined rural roads that define this corner of Michigan. As you near Hamilton, the terrain settles into the gentle, wooded terrain characteristic of the region - a landscape of modest elevation and natural water features that have long drawn golf architects to this corner of the state. The final miles unfold along quiet country roads before arriving at Diamond Springs, where the course emerges from the surrounding woodland as a serene and understated destination.
