I Recommend This Course
Cardinal is THE premier public course in Metro Detroit
Just like I said in the title - Cardinal is officially THE premier public course in Metro Detroit. I’ve played it twice now and each time the conditions were flawless and the new layout is a blast. Great variety of holes, you can hit driver plenty but enough movement on some holes to make you think about it. Enough trees to keep you honest but only OB on the perimeter of the property so miss hits can be found. It is pricey, but you are getting a premium experience. Locker rooms, pro shop, and restaurant are all great too.
