About this course

Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club is a 27-hole public facility in Clarkston, Michigan, about 30 miles north of Detroit, built in 2000 on wooded, rolling ground leased from a religious order. Arthur Hills designed all three nines, using a minimalist approach that kept much of the property's natural forest and elevation intact, producing wide fairways and large, contoured greens. The club is public with a full practice facility, restaurant, and banquet space, and different pairings of its three nines are used depending on the day.

The property includes his historic mansion and carriage house alongside the golf operation. The course offers three nine-hole loops, the Eagle, Hawk and Falcon, which combine into different 18-hole configurations with varying yardages and pars. The layout was designed by Dan Pohl, with noticeable elevation changes from tee to green and water hazards coming into play on several holes. The first tee on the Eagle nine sits at one of the higher points in Oakland County.

Waterford, MI · 5.6 mi away

Pontiac Country Club is an 18-hole course in Waterford Township, northwest of Pontiac, Michigan.

The course plays to about 6,366 yards from the back tees with bent grass greens and bluegrass fairways, featuring numerous trees, water hazards and bunkers across three sets of tees. Pontiac Country Club operates as a semi-private facility that is open for daily-fee play, with a banquet room, restaurant and bar, driving range and practice green available to guests.
