Course Recomendation needed Detroit area

[davidhunt73]

hi I am a Brit who comes to Detroit once a year ( Mid October) for work although I do go out and play during my stay. 2 rounds of golf.

 

I have played the following courses:

 

Hawk Hollow

Eagle Eye

Sheppards Hollow

TPC Michigan

Links of Novi

Preswick village

fox hills

moose ridge

lyons oak

northville hills

meadowbrook

pine trace

 

also played 7 lakes and roseland in Windsor.

 

So my question is where should i play this year? anyone a member at oakland???? ;-)

Not a member at Oakland Hills but good luck finding one. Seems like you mainly have played the courses west of the city. If you go up to the Lansing area again, two decent courses are Timber Ridge and Forest Akers - West ([u][b][u]not[/u][/b][/u] East). Closer to Detroit you might consider Majestic (Hartland), Pierce Lake (Chelsea), Lakes of Taylor ([u][b][u]not[/u][/b][/u] Taylor Meadows) and/or Tanglewood (South Lyon). There are a number of very nice courses northeast of Detroit but I will let someone from that area toss out some suggestions.

If you can locate a University of Michigan graduate, the U of M course in Ann Arbor is an interesting & fun layout.

You've played the ones I would have suggested. I'll second the Majestic as a good one that isn't on your list. Also the Orchards.

thank you for your input. I am looking at Tullymore or either st ives but maybe its a bit too far to travel as staying in Novi. As mentioned would love to play oakland as i have played 4 past ryder cup courses so far. Dont know why ryder cup usa venues are played on private courses. Same goes for the us open and pga. Playing turnberry, royal troon and preswick next week, all British open venues and all available for public play.
