Type Public
Par 70
Length 5630 yards
Slope 112
Rating 67.2

Bruce Hills Golf Course is located in the north metro Detroit area near Romeo. Mature trees are scattered throughout the course, providing shade and a peacefully secluded feel. The par-70 layout is relatively short at only 5,630 yards form the back tees, making it an ideal round for beginners but it still provides good practice and a quick round for more advanced players. The golf course sprawls across a diverse terrain that allows for downhill and uphill approaches to the small, round greens, which are often sloped from back to front. Keeping the ball below the hole is the key to scoring well on this golf course. Bruce Hills' player-friendly layout only has four bunkers but water comes into play on 12 holes, providing the bulk of the course's challenges.

Fun in the sun? Be careful.

This is a fun little course. It is pretty straight forward with very sloped greens on 9,14, and 17 that will give you fits holding the slope. Accurate shot making is rewarded and you don't have to be crazy long to score well. We played early in the morning and the dew did not leave the surface of the greens until about 8:15 am. Perhaps due to the heat (90*) the green were not cut, but it would have been nice to have them whipped to remove the dew to improve putting.. It is a nice course at a fair price.

If you are concerned about COVID-19, Staff are not wearing masks in the club house, and no plastic dividers in the carts, Some ball washers were present with no towels, and there are no changes to the holes or pins to minimize contact with items others may have touched. So bring hand sanitizer with you if these things concern you..

Not worth the drive

I played this course about 15 years ago, and back then it was beautiful, well maintained and a fun track. Just played it last weekend and tell you what, I would play it again even if it was $5. Greens were a joke, tee boxes are like a burn with a drastic slope on both sides, just all around bad. I drove 45 min to play this thing too. My advise..... play somewhere else! Oh. I did shoot a 71 though.

Pretty but significantly overbooked.

Course had some very pretty holes but was very busy and tight in others. Course was significantly overbooked. The first few holes were backed up with 4-5 groups of 2-4 each waiting at the box. Not a good course for weekend play.

Still waiting

A neat, quirky layout with small sloped and crowned greens. Even with the 'covid19' new normal, the pace of play was horrible, more so for a course that is only 5,600 yards. 5 hours and 50 minutes was painful as we waited on every shot. When we approached the tee box on #8, and there were 3 groups ahead of us waiting. I called the 'pro-shop'. They responded, "Thanks we'll see what we can do." Never saw a ranger and it had no impact, as we played the back in 2:45, again waiting on every shot. Several areas just off the fairway had yet to see a mower all year. My advice, bring a book for all the waiting and keep the ball in the fairway and below the hole.

Fair value

Play this course every year. Shotmakers course. Greens fast and hard to hold. Layout makes you want to go for it but best not to. Tee boxes are mediocre as most are not flat. Clubhouse is dated.

This course is very interesting to play. The fairways are easy enough to hit but the greens are sloping making putting challenging. The course is beautiful. It has lots of wildlife, sand cranes, geese and deer. I would recommend it to anyone.

Poorly managed

golfed here for the first time due to a good deal, we ended up getting stuck behind a four foursomes of seniors and instead of starting us at hole ten, theybstarted us at hole one behind them. due to extremely poor pace of play we ended up leaving and not finishing our round. there was nobody working the grill when we got there so no food, the tea boxes are a mess and there are almost zero yardage markers in the fairways.
