SYLVAN GLEN GOLF COURSE

The mature oaks and maples create natural corridors that demand precise shot-making through southeast Michigan's rolling terrain, where elevation changes of 40 feet reward aggressive lines but punish wayward drives with buried lies in dense rough. Water comes into play on six holes, including a devilish par-3 where the green sits on a peninsula surrounded by wetlands that have claimed more Titleists than a starter cares to count. This daily-fee gem proves that championship-caliber conditioning and thoughtful routing don't require a country club pedigree.
