PLUM BROOK GOLF CLUB

The Donald Ross routing threads through mature hardwoods and rolling terrain that feels more like northern Michigan than suburban Detroit, with elevation changes that reward precise club selection on nearly every approach. Water comes into play on six holes, but it's the strategic bunkering around generous greens that separates scores here—miss on the wrong side and you're facing treacherous recovery shots. This daily-fee gem proves that classic architecture and conditioning can thrive in metro Detroit's competitive golf market.
