The Lakes of Taylor Golf Club

The Lakes of Taylor Golf Club is one of Arthur Hills's strongest Detroit-metro public designs, a 1995 Hills routing that has been serving golfers at 25505 Northline Road in Taylor for three decades. At 7,028 yards par 72 with a 73.4 rating and stout 136 slope on Blue-grass greens, this plays as a legitimate championship test despite the muni-course setting. Hills's signature variety shows up across 18 holes, picturesque 'stadium' opening hole with an elevated tee (playing between 332 and 435 yards depending on tees), undulating greens that put a premium on distance control, and the kind of strategic bunkering Hills deployed across his 1990s Midwest public portfolio. A well-maintained practice facility with grass-tee driving range, short-game area, and large putting green rounds out the complex. For the Detroit trip visitor, Lakes of Taylor pairs naturally with Fox Hills' Golden Fox (another Hills design, 40 minutes west) for a two-course Arthur Hills public weekend.
