Par 73
Length 6237 yards
Slope 120
Rating 69.9

Rush Lake Hills Golf Club in Pinckney stretches across gently rolling hills that are sprinkled with mature trees. Opened in 1961, the course has a classic design with wide fairways. With the exception of two holes that were rebuilt in the mid 1990s, the golf course has retained its original design. The front nine is wide-open and provides a spacious feel. The back nine is a bit tighter and while it may be shorter, it's also hillier. The undulating terrain is perfectly complemented by the strategic placement of the bunkers. The course offers a fair amount of challenging holes but it won't overwhelm high handicappers and its manageable 6,237-yard length is also ideal for beginners. It's not a formidable test, but Rush Lake Hills Golf Club is a great option for a quick affordable round.

Really suprised

I cannot believe we even got on this course let alone played all 18 holes considering it just stopped raining after about 20 hours straight. Almost every other course was closed due to flooding, but this place's drainage is better than any course I know of. Even the greens were pretty good! The course itself was a decent challenge, kind of short, but a lot of blind greens. Second time would be a little better knowing the layout. Golf Now price was great, I would pay a little more and will definitely play again. The staff was really great too!

Friendly staff

First time playing here, found too many blind shots, couldn't see foursome in front of us, fearful to tee off too soon,.
Greens in great condition,.
Crowded, but time of play was very good, less than 4:15

Nice Greens

The greens were fast and fair...but crowned so it was important to land towards the center.

This course has no bunkers...nice surprise!

We really enjoyed this course. Didn't have much wait times, staff was friendly and we didn't expect the course to be in such great condition because the cost to play was reasonable. They do a great job taking care of the golfers and the golf course!

A challenging, hilly course

Very nice layout, spread over a large area. Played Monday, course was wide open. Nice fairways and greens. Can be pretty tough from the back tees--several up-hill holes, and sloping fairways. Need a cart!

Relaxing round of golf

Great day on the golf course. Tee off times were spread out so no feeling of being rushed through the round. Course is a little open but difficulty comes from greens. Green fees, food and beverage are very reasonable!

Is that the rough or fairway

The fairways were rough and the rough was horrendous. my ball bounced on the greens like the walmart parking lot. the greens groomer made us skip the hole as opposed to letting us play and then resume "grooming". I don't care if this course was free I won't be back. well maybe if it were free.

course is old, rural, generally flat, greens are smaller and mounded. Very little sand, not a lot of water.

I like it here. A modest little course, only 2 sets of tees, 6,300 yds from the mens. Greens are small and mounded, but well maintained. Generally not a lot of trouble off the tee.

Great course!

I did not expect much when I booked a tee time here, but I showed up and was surprised how well maintained the course was. Fantastic course, has some challenging holes, friendly staff, great value for the money, and is now one of my favorite courses. 5/5. Give it a shot!

Great for the Price

I took advantage of the Hot Deal and couldn't have asked for anything more other than some sunshine. This course is a great course for the beginner or high handicapped golfer. The best part is all profits go to Cancer research at Henry Ford Hospital. The course is owned by the health system so to me it was a win-win.

I play this course alot. It is challenging and fun.

I love to play this course. I have a high handicap and with the sloping fairways and dome type greens this course has help me on how to hit shots to improve my handicap and improve my score. David in the club house is great and always has two cold Miller Lites really for us after 18 holes.
