Best course in metro Detroit
This is the best public course in metro Detroit for the money. Some other courses try to charge $80+ when they are nowhere near Lyon Oaks. They charge $70 on weekend mornings. In my opinion they could charge $100. Beautifully manicured and taken care of. Keep it up Lyon Oaks staff!!
I'll be back!
Thoroughly enjoyable round, would have preferred to play a bit faster, but we still played in just under 4 hours (had we been able to pass the group in front of us, I'm sure we could have finished in less than 3:30).
It was a bit windy when we teed off (2:20) with temps in the low 50's and despite all the rain received earlier in the week, the course was in great shape, the wind subsided and the weather was more than tolerable)
The greens were fantastic. Generally a positive experience all around. We played from the blue tees and that made the course ideal for the skill level for those in our foursome.
The little course pamphlet provided helped a great deal especially on the several holes where your tee shot had to carry over a hazard.
A bit wider than many of the Arthur Hills courses I've played (I'm not complaining). I will definitely be back to play.
Terrible staff and course is awful
The course at Lyon oaks looks great through pictures but that’s only on certain parts. The course is beat down and seems like there’s almost no maintenance. The staff was rude to us and held us up in the pro shop. The outside workers also stopped us and accused us of not paying and calling for a tee time. Worst course in Oakland county
Good layout
Good Author Hills layout. Most fairways have room with only a few tight holes. Usually in great shape
Good course
For a senior, the course is a good deal. Tough course, challenging and normally in good shape. The course requires accuracy and position. I play this course every chance I get.
Surprisingly nice muni
The conditions were great, very friendly staff and the course routing offered a lot of fun and interesting holes.
Worst golfing experience ever !
Got harassed so bad for slow play and told to skip a hole ! We actually had enough and quit after 15 holes ! Never ever happened before in my 50 years of playing golf! We do not play slow the course is tough and was Cart Path only ! The group behind us was a full hole behind ! The final straw was when a 19 yr old from the clubhouse threatened a physical confrontation with my friend a 67 yr old ! I paid $67 for this disastrous round! Avoid this course like the plague!
Nature everywhere
Layout is fantastic. Great Arthur Hills design. Conditions are horrible. Greens have patches everywhere. Course is not well maintained. But the views and natural surroundings are well worth the experience. The course is challanging for all levels.
Good day on the course, we played poorly
Course was in great shap of July, weather was hot but a little breeze made it a very good day. Started/ Ranger were very friendly and didn't have much interaction with htem that day. Would and will play again. Rool up sandwitches a little on thepricey side, staff at bar was SOSO.
lyon oaks
excellent course i will go back again & again (can not wait to go back). i injoyed myself alot.
Great views and fast greens!!!
Great fall weather for such a beautiful course! Great layout with fast greens. I was surprised just smooth and fast the greens were this late into the year. Would play this course every day if it was not 2 hours away. Definitely worth the drive!! Friendly starter and pace of play was 2 hr. and 30 min.
Some slight elevation changes mixed with a few blind shots. Tough layout with forced carries. Must hit to the correct side of the fairway to get home in two on the par 4's. Well mixed long and short par 4's.
Book a tee time it’s worth it!!
Nice Course. Good greens. Layout is Average except for back 9.
Good course. Front nine not as interesting layout. Back 9 is pretty cool. Greens rolled nice and pretty quick. Would NOT pay $40 to play this course. Rattle Run on east side is better. Not a Shepard's Hollow but still a nice course. Would like to play in summer time to get different feel.
Fall Golf.
Perfect fall golf. Leaves were maintained pretty well on course. Great golf course to play at anytime...
Good for fall golf
Challenging layout with many sets of tees to choose from.
So so
Course is in nice shape but for the money I'd rather play moose ridge or whispering pines. It's open but challenging, just not a personal favorite of mine. Greens are slow and flat.
Excellent Course
Excellent Course; worth the drive. Friendly staff. Challenging for the intermediate and advanced golfer.
Beautiful , and well maintained .
Enjoyed the overall beauty of the course . Was a bit challenging but not overly so . Greens were quicker than other courses I've played . Had a friend from Fla. in town and he really raved about the course conditions .
Are the courses in Michigan in good shape in mid-April after a cold harsh winter. It was snowing and 20 degrees just before April 16, surprised the course was open.
