The West at Forest Akers Golf Course
Played On 07/24/2021Best value in Michigan
$45 and pristine conditions. It’s a very nice, if unspectacular, layout. No tricked up holes… it’s all in front of you. Incredible value for money
Hawk Hollow Championship Golf Course - Front 9/Middle 9
Played On 05/31/2020Really underrated gem
Terrific layout (including an amazing 3-hole closing stretch) and overall in excellent shape. At $75 as good a value for money as almost anywhere in Michigan. Over-shadowed by its sister course a half mile away... but HH really holds its own allure. I’ve played all the great ones in Michigan, and HH is truly ‘just outside’ being in that category. An absolute must play
South/West at Tanglewood - The Lion
Played On 07/21/2019Great local course!
It’s not an Arcadia or Eagle Eye, but this is an excellent value for money, all 3 9-holes are fun and there’s not a stinker hole in the lot. The 3 9’s keep the pace up pretty well here and they have a very nice staff and nice bar. Excellent course and one of the best in the metro area.
Coyote Preserve Golf Club
Played On 09/02/2018You have to like hills and blind shots
If lots of sloping fairways and blind shots are enjoyable to you, this course is for you. It’s not my cup of tea and if in that neck of the woods I’d far prefer the Majestic, but it’s definitely interesting. I highly recommend playing up a tee box, as the course is extremely penal
Fox Hills Golf Center - Golden Fox Course
Played On 07/06/2018Underrated
Terrific layout and as well conditioned as I’ve seen the course in years .The Golden Fox is one of the most underrated courses in the Detroit area. The staff is also extremely friendly and they add to a great experience. Highly recommended
Moose Ridge Golf Course
Played On 06/10/2018Extremely Difficult
Moose Ridge is gorgeous. Fantastic scenery and pretty aesthetically. Great staff. But you have to prepare yourself that it’s just overly difficult. Lots of uneven lies and very tight landing areas and approaches. I’m a 5 handicap, and I’d probably be better served playing the whites. But if you can accept that for what it is, Moose Ridge is a treat.
The West at Forest Akers Golf Course
Played On 08/28/2016A favorite and fantastic value
Although not a 5 star course (like an Arcadia or Forest Dunes), Akers is definitely just one notch down from a design and condition standpoint. And from a value POV, I believe it's the best value by far anywhere in Michigan. Does not get the crushing amount of play that would bog down rounds and is half of what you'd play at similar tracks.
Moose Ridge Golf Course
Played On 07/17/2016Nice with some quirks that could be fixed
I've played the course several times. The layout is interesting and actually has some very nice risk/reward holes. Very nice shape, I'd say comparable to nearby Northville Hills in that regard although I think the layout and therefore value of NH is slightly better. But overall fair value for what you're getting. Lots of elevation changes and very nice woodland setting. The big negative is the number of holes that are 'cart path only'. It's an incredible impediment to pace of play, particularly given that the course has some narrowness in multiple areas. I'd say the course plays 30-60 minutes slower than it needs to as a result, which seems like it could and should be addressed by the staff. It is possible that it's a moisture issue, but if so its bad design and they should address the drainage. Limiting the cart path only holes would make this course immeasurably more enjoyable.
