Brentwood Golf Club & Banquet Center
About
Brentwood Golf & Banquet Center in White Lake is conveniently less than an hour from downtown Detroit. The 18-hole layout has two distinctly different designs. The front nine is a wooded trail design with homes lining the fairways while the back nine has a more open, classic Scottish-links layout with fewer trees. There are nearly 40 bunkers situated along the greens and fairways and a variety of marshes, wetlands, and ponds come into play on 13 holes. To make the golf course even more challenging, the strategically placed mounding provides a number of tricky uneven lies from all angles and on nearly every hole. Brentwood's par-5 16th is a particularly memorable hole, featuring a grass hill that is directly in front of the green, almost completely blocking the view of the putting surface on the approach.

Just OK
A decent course if you get a discount, I wouldn’t pay more than $50. The tee boxes and cart paths need serious repair and there were areas in the fairway that need work as well.
Don’t allow riders or walkers and have apparently never heard of the concept
Arrived and asked to pay for a rider and they said they never have allowed that and seemed to have no idea of the concept. Mind you this was a 12 on a random Tuesday course was completely quiet.
Course was very short, fairways were not short, the grass seemed to be rolled down.
Poor experience given the rider experience and no indication of this anywhere on golf now or on their site
Packed with too many people. The cart path needs serious repair
Bad layout, poor conditions, horrid pace of play
The course’s layout is clearly damaged by the way it winds through the housing development. Nearly all the holes on the front nine require an iron off the tee. Part 4s are unimaginative and part 3s depressingly straightforward.
Fairway grass was twice as long as at a normal course. There was often zero difference between the fringe, and the actual green. Rough was inconsistent and patchy in spots. Standing water and maintenance tire tracks abound.
Pace of play was over 3 hours on the front and 3 hours on the back. This course features multiple blinds tee shots as a result eight minute tee times are an actual danger to the players’ health.
Didn’t
I couldn’t make it due to an emergency I also couldn’t cancel either they said it was too late hopefully I will next time.
Excellent of course .
I like the field and green is fast which I like, but difficult to play, need a more challenging
Overall, this is a relatively short course with several short par 4s. There are some long ones to offset that somewhat. The greens and fairways were in great shape but the tees were carved up by divots and should have been moved. The bunkers were mostly the dirt variety and not very playable. There are several weird holes like a 90 degree dogleg left par 5 on which you cannot see the fairway due to cattails. The pace was a little slow for a Monday and we waited a bit on every tee although the round finished in about 4 hours. Overall, I think they charge too much for the quality of this course. I did enjoy playing here, though.
Great Value, But Slow & Course Conditions Only OK
I have golfed Brentwood before and this time, I was able to obtain a Great Deal and used my coupon so for $21.00, it was a very good bargain. The course conditions could be better but the greens were in good shape, which for me is key. The play was so slow, I only golfed 10 holes, tried to jump ahead, but couldn't and left. They really need a Ranger. A family of husband, wife and I assume their grown daughter had an entire hole and a half open ahead of them and were focusing on and putting out the 3 footers. Ranger would have helped.
Decent Course
All around average/decent course, nothing special however it has some challenging holes with doglegs, conditions were nothing to rave about but not bad.
Great Course
Love playing this course, it’s fairly forgiving and it evolves to a links style towards the back nine which is a nice change up for play style. Good luck losing a ball with a shot off the fairway. Open and well put together. Plus you get a joke of the day around the 4-5th hole tee box from a local resident. Great value
