Fellows Creek Golf Course

Pros: Very affordable with a Groupon, wide open fairways, you can hit driver off virtually every non-​par 3, decent greens and in very nice shape for Nov. 15^th.
Cons: Can be crowded with hacks who have absolutely no knowledge of golf etiquette, in other words, Detroiters. Also, the bottom-​feeders in the Pro Shop want to charge you an extra $ 5 for a cart with a windshield — seriously, how Bush League can you get?
Teed off yesterday at 9:45 and got in 18 in around 4 hours despite following a 4-​some of jeans-​wearing, factory rats who had no business teeing off from the back tees (none of these overweight slobs could break 100 on their best day). Because it was a beautiful day (65 and sunny) the place was jammed packed once we completed our round. Played the South Course twice to avoid the slow play. If you want to work on your driver, this is a place you might want to consider but don’t, under any circumstances, pay more than $ 16 for your round with a cart.

Great course for the price. I would rate it up there with some of the much higher priced courses in the area especially in Oakland county. 18 $ today which included the cart can’t beat that. On a 1 to 10 I would give the course an 8 and for a public track that is pretty good. Greens exceptional, fairways good (some small snow mold burn out in areas) design great and playability is a 9.
Went out on a limb and got a hot dog at the turn and that was a 6 I would not recommend unless you are starving and since I was I took the chance.
I look forward to going back to play it again.

Above average course for the area with great dollar value but what seperates it from the others is the pride the GM… Jesse, I believe, has in his entity. He is someone who gets it. He places a high value on a well maintained course that appreciates the folks who walk into his pro shop. This course will never be a pro-​rated country club but what these folks do is provide a great value with magnificent guest service. My experience in the Detroit area golf clubs is that some-​how, they believe they are the poop of all golf courses in the country. The starters and groundskeepers tend to believe they are the important ones but at Fellows Creek, Jesse really makes you feel like a million bucks. When I am in D-​town, I want to experience new venues but when it comes to golf… I go back and forth for new courses or new experiences then I think how friendly and easy Fellows Creek makes it to tee-​off and play without the BS that old, crabby retiree’s tend to portray as starters. Jesse hires great folks who start your round with a laugh and advice… not just ornary old timers that should be sitting at a pool with a PBR instead of treating people right. Go to this course to play with fun and return again to play with fun!!!

Nice course with great greens, but we kept getting interrupted by the mowers. Gets annoying after an hour our two.
