Challenging Course in Wixom

We played Lyon Oaks for the first time last week and it was a good experience. The course has the look and feel of a Northern Michigan location, without the 4 hour drive. Since our group is in the mid 60’s, we played the “White Tees” at a slope of 131 and 6133 yards. At our age, we tend to play from the 6000 to 6300 yard lengths to keep it playable while still challenging. What made it challenging was the tight fairways, undulating greens, and having to hit “blind shots” on some holes.

Overall, a good golfing experience at the “Senior” rate of $35.00 per player. Since it was our first time playing this course, we ended up letting a three-some play through, and later a two-some play through. Even at that, we were just 15 minutes off the recommended pace of play. I was kind of upset that a “Ranger” followed us for #17 and #18, to remind us to “step it up”. A little petty since the “Rangers” are volunteers who get to play “Free” when not working. But, overall a really good course.

Plumbrook, A Hidden Grm

I've played Plumbrook Golf Course a number of times and it has always been enjoyable. It may not rival the high priced designer courses, but it's very playable and keeps everyone in contention for skins, no matter their abilities. The yardage on the scorecard is a little off, but your 200, 150, and 100 yard markers are accurate.

What I enjoy most about Plumbrook is their greens, which are usually immaculate and fast. Due to this year's long and extremely harsh winter, their greens are not quite up to standards due to "winter mold". But, as the season extended on, the bad spots filled in and putting continues to be challenging.

Overall, Plumbrook is a great course to play for just about all golfers. Now, if you are a "scratch golfer", you might want to play an "up north" designer course, and pay $100.00 per round; but for the everyday golfer who loves to play, Plumbrook is a "Hidden Gem" in Sterling Heights, Michigan.
