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.

Fun course to play

Course was in great shape and not very crowded during the week. Greens were in good shape and putted well. A few blind shots or areas that you need to check your GPS to avoid hitting into trouble. Great value for your money.

Great value, challenging course.

Well maintained, with nice greens and plenty of length. Trees, water and heather can come into play on multiple holes. The “Hot Deal” pricing is an excellent value.

Slow play

The starter was helpful in allowing a couple of Twosome to go off the back nine. A five hour round.

Much improved

Discourse used to frustrate me only because of the pace of play. The price is pretty low especially during the summer and a lot of the tee boxes used to be stacked 5 deep or more. This year though they seem to have been able to manage it much better and the course conditions are really good. The staff there certainly makes this place a much better experience and I would love to keep coming back. I have a membership at another course in Northville but this course it's pretty much in my backyard so when my buddy can't play golf during the week for 2 days I like to come here. next year I'll definitely consider getting a membership here instead even though I like my current course.

Improved

Nice to see some improvements to make the course more playable to long hitters. Front desk was a let down as they were more interested in their own discussion than assisting me. All in all Faulkwood is stepping it up

front/back 9's are differentt

Didn't notice any force carries of any length

Front 9 slightly hilly with some water in play

Back 9 pretty flat-minimal water

Nice tee choices

Greens were nice/receptive and still pretty quick

Hit ball straight and you'll score-large trees throughout.

No respect for the game of golf

They send people out every 5 minutes on a Saturday, and the course is beyond backed up. There was a group of 5 people playing in front of us and we had to call the ranger twice to come take care of it. They continued to allow the group to play with 5 after telling us they would never allow that. We waited up to 15 minutes at a tee box. Talk about getting cold. Will never return here. Should have never driven 45 minutes to play this course. Big regret.
