Style Links/Trail
Par 72
Length 6424 yards
Slope 120
Rating 69.4

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.

Brentwood

I wish the bar and grill would have been open. We booked an earlier round to beat the heat. When we made the turn around 10:30, 11am and were unable to get lunch or a cold one, that was the only downside. So we just had lunch after our round.

Great Links Style Back 9

First time I played course thanks to a hot deal discount. The first 3-4 holes I was unsure as the tee boxes were beat up but the course got better as we went along, especially the links style back 9 that was in fantastic shape. Played 18 in less than 4 1/2 hours which I’ll take any day, greens were in great condition too. Just the tee boxes and/or tee placements need some TLC.

Sweet Spot

This course is awesome. Doesn’t okay very long and I swear my GPS had us playing what was on the scorecard. Greens were very nice. Fairways were in good shape. If you like keeping driver in the bag then get out to this course. Hole 9 par 3 over the water, it’s only a wedge in but it’s right in front of the clubhouse and practice green, all eyes on whoever is teeing off, very fun.

Shot my best round ever here.

The course felt amazing, and the greens were beautiful and slow (but that’s the way I play best). The reason I gave the 4/5 on pace of play was because we had to wait once on the ending of a tournament, and the 4/5 on conditions was because it had just stormed and the course wasn’t drained yet. Overall it was a great experience and I would happily return to play again.

Used cart

Cart Path Hazards

Very short off senior boxes. Moved back to white tees' to make it more of a challenge.

Course is in very good shape but Cart paths need lots of work. Front and back are 2 different courses., the front much tighter and the back wide open.

Managed to break 80 even with 3 3 putts so easier then I expected.

Not a 4-star course

This course is very strange and definitely not worth a 4-star rating compared to other courses in the same price range

- Tee boxes are really torn up. Many divots, dry spots, and uneven areas

- greens are not consistent and does not roll true. Also not very challenging

- front 9 is very short. Surprising back 9 feels like a real course. If all 18 was lay out like the back 9 then

Frustrating round

First of all the staff is not helpful and gave me a broken range finder to use. There were no yard markers on the course because the grounds crew removed them for some reason. The tee boxes were destroyed. Ball marks on all the greens. Beer cans left at the tee boxes. Worth $20 a round.

Looks can be deceiving at this course. Fairway and greens need a cut and no markings for yardage.
