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.

Great Course
First time at the course. It was in good condition and the pace of play was great. Would definitely recommend and will be going back to play again
A Hidden Gem!
I've played quite a few courses in southeastern Michigan and this course is definitely in my top 10! Beautiful layout and very nice greens and fairways!
Brentwood Course
Greens, tee's and fairways are in great shape The cart paths need replacing badly. The course is short but fun to play.
Great value. Diverse layout
I wondered about a "subdivision" course and that I would be playing down a row of houses but it was not. Rather pretty with woods, hills, etc. Even with hills, if the shot placement was correct -- the landing areas were level. I'll be back
First Time
First time playing. The course was fine and we played on Memorial Day. The fairways had not been cut for a couple days but were playable. Also we had a foursome and the course put out 2 somes behind us versus pairing them up as more foursomes. It was fine other than that.
Slow Greens
I realize now that tee times offered to golfnow at many of the courses tend to follow Leagues. Lots of times it is a Women's league. 1st 3 holes ,15 minutes, Next 6, 1hr 30 minutes. Not really bad if you're a group but I was playing as a single.
Course is in good shape other than the front side greens were pretty shaggy. Wide open back side. Would I play here again? Drive is out my way so probably not. Would recommend to people who live in the area.
Great value
This was the second time I've played this course. I really enjoy it. The course is in good condition. The value is outstanding. But, this course is not one that you can just rip the driver on every hole. It is a thinking mans course. Position play is far more important. Expect to his woods and irons off the tees most times. Personally I love this style of golf. It is not one dimensional.
The golf course
The course was actually in really good shape considering the weather we've been having, the greens were a little on the long side but it's still early. Staff in the pro shop was friendly. The course wasn't crowded and pace of play was good. Fairways were in great shape. I would recommend this course to my friends. Will be playing again, soon.
Great course
Went here on April 19th and the course was in pretty good shape for it being so early in the season. The course layout was great, it's different, going through a neighborhood. The clubhouse looked beautiful and looks like a great place for events. I would recommend this course 10/10
Brentwood
So I book a 9:20am Golf Now, as a single, figuring I'd team up with a group. I get there early and the pro shop guy sends me out as a single, telling me there is a group that just teed off, give them about 10 minutes, and I'm good to go. Great I think, maybe hit a few extra shots and get some practice in. What he fails to tell me is that I'm following a ladies senior league, three groups that I have little chance of playing through. I could have hit every ball in my bag and I still would have caught them on the next hole. 3 hours later! (as a single)I get to the "cover shot" 9th hole and I see three ladies fishing for balls in the lake that surrounds the green. I skip to 10 because there is a twosome behind me that didn't seem to want to join up. I finish up in time for dinner. Any good starter/pro shop guy worth his weight in jar balls is NOT going to send a single out behind a senior ladies league. Hello! why don't you start on 10. Or at least, pack your patience pal, and I hope you brought some rations. You're in for a long afternoon.
Nice course, good conditions, plenty of other courses closer to home.
good course, .
Traps need sand, little thin. Tree Box seeding
Otherwise good
Two different Nines.
The front nine holes is very tight, yet the back nine is wide open. The greens were in excellent shape , hard to read them though.
Scenic Course in metro Detroit
Good layout and scenery makes this White Lake course feel like Northern Michigan.
Looks like they have done a lot of work
Played 2 other times just after it was bought by new owners and it looks like they have put a lot of time and money into improving and maintaing it, very nice and a good challenging course
Good Round but a bit slow
The round was very good. The back nine was a bit slow but overall the round was good.
All around good place
coarse is in great shape very good time golfing on a wednesday morning
Great shape
The course was in great shape. The only complaint I have is the tees were all positioned forward, so the course played very short.
Great value!
This is a good track, pretty open, so you shouldn't lose many balls. The course was very well maintained, staff was helpful and friendly. Just don't hit from anyone's yard, or you will probably hear about it.
Good course & small greens
Some blind tee shots and kind of narrow with small greens on the front 9. The back 9 opens up a bit. Not long. Some undulating greens. Kept in good conditions with friendly staff.
Great Value
For a public course, this is a very good value. Well kept up grass, greens in very good shape. Most holes are fairly wide open. Some narrow and challenging holes thrown in as well. Good course for high and low handicappers.
