Faulkwood Shores Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

Good bang for your buck.
Usually courses this cheap are also pretty short, but Faulkwood Shores is actually quite long. Most par 4's are in the 400 yd range from the whites, so you'll get plenty of chances to bust out the driver. The course is not is great shape, but it's not terrible either. The layout is a little odd at times. On number 1, right off the bat, you can only hit a long iron or short fairway wood off the tee. Course knowledge helps. The greens are faster than you think. Not terribly punishing, but not wide open either. Not my favorite course, but a good deal for a usually cheap price.
good bang for the buck
i was so surprised at the course conditions.i had golfed there years ago and it seemed like it was mostly hardpan.That was fifteen yrs ago so i wasnt expecting to much,but to my surprise it was in fairly good condition with everybody friendly. i will go back there again.
All about Value - for a challenging course
The prices offered for this course make any blemishes disappear. It is challenging and decently maintained...but certainly not pristine.
Slow play can at times be an issue due to wide variety of types of players...most times I play it though, I feel that I get good golf at a very good price. Staff is friendly and accomodating.
