About

Holes 18
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.

Really let downr

I hate to say it but this course is not what it used to be. When I arrived early and saw the golfers in cut off shirts, t shirts, drinking in the parking lot because most of the people blatantly brought there own coolers in front of the staff. No rangers or starters so people did whatever they wanted, I saw a group of six and people driving on greens laughing. I have no idea what happened but I hope it was only that one day and it is not always like that nowadays, the pace of play was so bad it made the round very annoying

Stuck Behind a League

The course was in great shape, however, the pace of play would have made a snail look like the road runner. Our tee time was 5:12, and we were set to go off after the league. With the rain delay, we teed off at 5:30. The back 9 was wide open, and we asked to go off on that, and were told no. However, we witnessed others going off on the back.
Our 9 holes took us over 2 1/2 hours to play (should take less than 2 hours). The last two 4-somes in the league were unbelievably slow. It makes for an aggravating round. To put it in perspective, our 3-some golfed the back 9 in 1 hour and 10 minutes (although we didnt get to putt on 2 greens because the sprinklers came on)
How could the course have helped? Tell the league to keep pace of play. Leagues make money for the golf courses, but, word of mouth from players delayed from extremely poor pace of play loses money.

Great Staff

Played this course several times over the years and it is not long but shot placement is required to score low. Several holes have water that you must lay up .Greens are large but can be tough depending on pin placement. Fairways in fair condition.

Go to the range instead

The course was under managed and under-manned. The greens were spotty and horribly maintained. Areas around the green were cement like even in the thickest of rough. Tee boxes had as many rolling hills as the actual fairways. Every par 3 tee was like hitting out of the sand. Actually impossible to take real swings and good divots throughout the course. I won't be returning, or ever recommending the course.

Always fun to play. There was an outing in front of us so the last 4 holes were pretty slow, must of been a shotgun start, but it's not their fault.

There is lots of water in inconvenient places and makes the course a real challenge. The course was in fantastic shape and I will definitively be playing there again.

Tight squeeze but nice

They really seemed to jam the 18 holes into a small space. Keep your head on a swivel and look out for others playing from your fairway. That being said, the course was in good shape and had some challenging holes. Definitely a course for the "weekend warriors" that's priced right. Was a pretty warm day but never saw a "cart girl" out which was odd. Tried to get a hotdog at the turn but they were out so I was offered a kielbasa instead. I could not penetrate it no matter how hard I bit into it. I think it had been sitting there awhile. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. All in all, if your looking for a relaxing round of golf and don't want to be surrounded by a bunch of super serious golf snobs, this is your place.

Cart paths

Course is great in my beginner opinion. I've been playing for a few years but not a great golfer by any means but it's a great course. The cart pathways seem to not be taken care of nearly as well as the course but still a good course. I had fun. 9/10 would play again.

not a pleasant experience

the course was overbooked. played 4 holes on the front nine and waited 7 to 10 minutes for every shot. went over to back nine and it looked o.k. Played 2 holes and caught up to the group ahead and tried to stay but it too was backed up. cart paths are in bad need of repair, if you stayed on them your teeth could come loose.

Think twice

6:48a.m. t-time. Arrived 4 minutes late. One party on the t-box which had a later t-time than us. They were a foursome and us a twosome. We asked when they're t-time was and they told us it was later than ours and let us play. Great. OK no problem there. However the problem began when we walked through the door. We arrived 4 minutes late. And before the man behind the counter even checked to see if there was anyone on the t-box, proceeded to tell us "that if we were late again, he would have to fit us in whenever there was an opening, and that the course doesn't see any of the money form golfnow." For starters, there was one group already at the t-box, and when we asked them what they're t-time was, it was well behind ours. The counter help was very RUDE. Next, we keep pace of play, like to keep the game moving not wanting to lose momentum. We had players hitting up on us, as well as the course decided to start cutting fairways and greens around 8:30. We had to wait for grounds crew to finish cutting greens and fairways, as well as them waiting for us to leave the green. NOT a good experience at all. We have played this course before, and NEVER experienced this kind of treatment, however it has left us with the thought that this would be a last resort choice for courses to play, and there's alot of courses to choose from.

This course has great features with all of the water holes

I have played this course several times before so I am somewhat familiar with it. We both enjoyed it and I would absolutely play it again. It is just enough challenging with all of the water holes on the course.

unrealistic greens with some crazy pin locations

short course with some interesting holes, tee boxes and cart paths require maintenance.
the only real issue i have is the small domed greens.
you can hit a great approach shot, but due to the domed shape of the greens, the ball will roll off the green
depending on pin location if you misread a putt, the ball will roll off the green.
after 18 holes the greens lost their humor/character & were just annoying.
if you think you can putt & read greens this would be a good reality check.

I will never go back!!!

Bruce hills paired us up with a older 2 some, which is fine because I know they can do that, but what's not fine is lying to me. When I pulled up there was a lot of cars there, when I got in the club house I asked if he had an outing going on and they told me no and that they just had a lot of reservations. Bruce hills actually had us directly behind an outing. Every hole we waited 10-15 mins before teeing off. After 9 holes we just left, I couldn't deal with hitting then waiting so long. So the good price we paid on golf now for 18 and a cart turned into a horrible price for 9 and a cart.
The course greens and fairways were in good shape, but I will never go back no matter how cheap it may go. It's not worth waiting all day to play.
If you want to golf in the Bruce twp area I recommend going to heather hills. Great course great rate of play there

Just because there are big groups does that mean their is an outing. When you book your time on golf now does it state asking if there is a golf outing there or not?? No you are on this website for discounted golf. Im on this website for the same reason. I also was there that same day and the pace of play was at 4 1/2 and 5 hours for that course is great being that there are alot of short holes out there. I guess your expectations are set to high then for being a 15-20 handicap guy. Anywhere you go on a Weekend expect a round of 4-5hrs at least courses that are busy. Hope you enjoy your rest of your summer and fall. Go Play lol
