Golf addicts, the good news is that golf season is underway at several courses in southeast Michigan. With golf courses scattered all around our area, it is fairly easy to find one that works for you; however, it can also be kind of overwhelming with so many to choose from.
We’ll make it easier for you. If you live in, or prefer to golf in, the Oakland County area (stay tuned for other counties), this story is for you. Listed below are a few (public) options to hit the links at in Oakland County.
Farmington Hills Golf Club

The tees, fairways and greens offer manicured bent grass. Residents can play nine holes for a mere $15 ($17 on weekends), or 18 holes for $25 ($30 on weekends). Non-residents are welcome as well!
The course also runs several weekly specials. One such deal is 18 holes with a cart for only $25 Monday through Thursday!
