Faulkwood Shores Golf Course
About
Faulkwood Shores Golf Club first opened in 1971, exactly a century after the historic farmhouse that serves as the clubhouse was built. Located in Howell, it's considered one of southeastern Michigan's best values. The golf course has a traditional layout that is player friendly enough for players of all skill levels but there are some challenging hole designs that will appeal to those that are more advanced. Water hazards come into play on eight holes throughout the golf course, including a stream that runs alongside the first hole. The fairways are tight and the greens are fast and well guarded by bunkers. There are also a few subtle undulations that can be tricky to maneuver. Faulkwood Shores Golf Club requires accuracy but it's not overly punishing if you're slightly errant.

Silly and Unfair Pin Positions
I've played this course quite a few times and have never, ever in my golf career seen pin placements as silly as these on the day. 18 holes tucked behind bunkers, stuck in the corner with one specific hole only 28 inches from the edge of the fringe. Two greens have long needed major rework (15 & 17) which have such a severe slope that you can putt up to the hole and it returns to your feet or off the green. Every. single. time. What????
Greatly improved after new ownership
Greens and fairways were in great shape. Some tee boxes need a fair amount of work as do the cart paths.
Course Length: White tees are 6600+ yds! and gold are 5400. This course needs an additional set of tess at 6000-6200 yards.
Clubhouse is new and shiny. A massive improvement over the prior smelly shack.
Not the Best Conditions
We will not be playing here again. I had played twice a couple years ago, so when the new clubhouse was finished, we thought let's try it out. So, unimpressed with the course conditions. The tee boxes were in terrible shape, finding level ground that has grass to even put the tee in was nearly impossible. There are plenty of courses in the Livingston County area that are better in my opinion.
The Renaissance of Faulkwood Shores?
I play here often and the improvements relative to new club house, parking lot, cart-paths(still a long way to go), are fantastic!
The fairways and greens are in good shape, actually the greens are in excellent shape.
All of The tee boxes need to be updated, repaired, etc… I am sure it’s in the plan.
The course is challenging for high handicappers, and with undulating greens and depending on pin placements 3 putting is a worry.
Of course the value is excellent if you can play during week and a senior.
Based on what I see as a major commitment to improving the course and facilities i am sure they have a long term plan for continuous improvement, NF the beginning of the Renaissance.
Highly recommended!,
Improved condition
Old fashion course that has improved the course conditions. Greens , fairways and tee areas have been improved! The course has improved and they also added a nice addition to the club house and Pro Shop.
Thanks, had a great time!
Getting better
Conditions have improved significantly. Greens roll true. Tee boxes on hole 2 and 4 are always going to be a challenge to grow grass, given the limited light. Maintenance does a solid job. Very few dry spots on the course, fairways are cut short.
Layout is long with trees that will eat your ball if you aren't straight. Biggest complaint are some greens that are just unfair. Holes 12, 16, and 17 have gigantic slopes where balls will not stay on the green. I get that it adds to the challenge to the course, but it shouldn't be impossible to keep your ball on the green when you hit a putt.
There are good people who work at the course, but their bosses at Singh are absolutely going to try and recoup some of the costs to upgrade their clubhouse, carts, and parking lot with increased greens fees this year. Memberships were not offered this year. Cart paths will still need work.
Tough course. Greens tough
But fairways and tees are beat up and its always wet. Doesn't matter. This is all of a 136 slope so people who like a challenge will deal.
Nice for the money
Course is looking better than ever and looks like they are making improvements
Fair but challenging course
Greens smooth and not to fast fairways perfect will play again
