About
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.

Overbooked
I've played this course many times, and this year has been so overbooked, I'll never be back.
Hole locations suspect
I hit a nice SW 3rd into the 554y par 5 7th that was inside 15 feet, bounced up green, no backspin. By the time my buddy hit his shot and we headed to the green, my ball had rolled off the front into the deep rough 15 yards short. That was extreme given the quality of my shot(s) to that point, deserved a birdie putt at least.
Then, there was an unplayable hole location on the back. The hole with the two trees that block the front left side of the green. I pitched it to 3 feet short, then it pulled a U-turn and rolled back 20 feet. My buddy was on the top side of the hole, missed a 6 foot putt and had 20 coming back. Unplayable hole without a doubt. Shame to have a good round going and have to deal with this. I should’ve had 3 feet for par, but that’s beside the point, there never should have been a hole cut into the hill.
Otherwise, I like the course, the raised greens are a tricky but fair, but cutting holes into side slopes doesn’t provide an honest challenge. I typically don’t play courses again that allow clown holes on the course. Dunham Hills, Rolling Meadows, Whispering Pines are crowned greens that come to mind.
Sold a tee time and was rushed
130 Tee time for 18 and after checking in I was told I needed to make the turn before 3:15. I replied saying as long as the people in front of me play fast, I'll be able to and the person at the counter shrilugged his shoulders.
Don't sell 18 if a normal pace of play isn't going to be able to play 18. I was fortunate enough to play through two groups - I played fast and made the turn on time, but had I not played through then what? I'm out of luck?
Don't sell tee times that are up against a league.
The place is priced right or I'd not play there, ever.
A great place to relax
The course is great condition. A beautiful summer after gold event.
Outing
We booked at 2:08 on Friday, ahead of us were two outings. There were literally nine golf carts on the Teebox at 2 o’clock. All management would say is sorry we’re running a little slow today. No ranger pushing them along or moving people forward. Carts were going out in groups of two. We didn’t actually tee off until 240. I would just make sure you call ahead to find out if you’re following one of these outings before you assume your teatime is going to be accurate and on time
Fix it
If 8 people sign up as solo they will just let you go off on your own, which is great on a slow day, but they also don't combine groups so we were stuck behind 4 other 2-somes.... All seemingly with the same tee time.
Busy days= Make people go as 4. Simple and keeps pace.
Those league guys play slow and they suck
Molasses moves faster than their league and somehow they put you out BEHIND the league at the turn.
36 bucks... 5 hours?
No thanks
It's ok
Course is decent. I've played this course many times due to being 5 min away and every time, players have no etiquette. They're very loud, hit the ball whenever (even hit my wife once) and domt give any warning when a ball may be coming at you. We won't be back.
