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.

Ironwood or Hawk Meadows > Faulkwood

If you’re looking at courses in Howell, this is probably the last option. The grass is in tough conditions, geese poop everywhere you walk, rarely cut the tees, pump house is in the middle of the course surrounded by about 5 holes and it Smells bad, club house is a farm house, not worth the money you pay when there are much better options.

Fathers day fun time

It was a great day nice course look great green were wonderful and smooth fairways were nice as well. If there is only thing that could be alittle better is the cart paths are really rough n ur clubs bounce around driving them that is the only thing I feel that needs work on the course. Thank for a great day fulkwood.

Tough greens but in great shape!

The tee boxes could definitely use a rolling as they are not very level. The greens are in great shape and the slope on the front is some of the toughest around. If you aren't careful with your speed you can easily 4 putt one of these greens! Back nine the greens are much more manageable. Less slope and larger landing area. Most of the greens on both sides are heavily guarded by bunkers, trees, and OB. Fairways are rather tight at times making ball position key off the tee with trees and deep heather on both sides. Overall a fun course at a great price!

Price gouge

Faulkwood is listing golf now as walking rate. They have never done this for at least the past 5 years .

Ended up paying 3 times what I paid last year because we needed a cart. To many other courses out there to be screwed by this one. Also rude employee.

Overall

When hitting ur ball if it goes in the rough it is hard to find ur ball and the bunker are mostly rocks no sand in most and very hard if the grass in the high rough is trim to be a manageable height to play out of or find ur ball easier.

Nice, But SLOW!

Nice course some fun holes, but all of the times I have played this course it seems that each time I play the pace is ridiculously slow. We had a group of three and stood over our ball way too often waiting for the next shot due to groups ahead of us. Too many twosomes allowed to go out without getting paired together. No ranger to keep pace moving. Granted it was a busy day, but with better course management play and pace could have been better.
