ROYAL OAK GOLF COURSE

The municipal gem threading through mature Michigan hardwoods delivers surprising shot values on terrain that rolls just enough to matter. Mid-iron approaches into elevated greens demand precision, particularly on the dogleg 14th where ancient oaks frame a narrow corridor to a two-tiered putting surface. For a daily-fee track in metro Detroit, the conditioning rivals many private clubs, and the classic parkland routing rewards course management over raw distance.
