Aside from world-famous shopping, dining and cultural and automotive museums, Detroit also offers a high concentration of four star, award-winning golf courses all within a half hour of downtown Detroit. Detroit’s affordable and well-maintained municipal golf course, the Lake of Taylor Golf Club, features standout reviews in many golf publications that praise its 7,000 yards of Arthur Hills designed green. For views of luxury Detroit homes, exceptional playing conditions and a four-and-a-half star Detroit course, the Orchards Golf Course (30 minutes from downtown Detroit) is a golf course well worth the green fees. For another Detroit golf course in another pricey suburb, the Cherry Creek Golf Course is an award-winning Metro area golf course with a reputation for excellent service and expensive green fees.
