Cherry Creek Golf Club

About Cherry Creek Golf Club

This unassuming public track in Shelby Township punches well above its weight class, earning a stellar 4.5-star rating from over 1,000 golfers who've discovered what locals have known for years. The course sits in Michigan's suburban sprawl north of Detroit, but don't let the setting fool you. The routing makes clever use of the natural terrain with enough elevation changes and mature tree-lined corridors to keep things interesting without being punitive. What sets Cherry Creek apart from the countless municipal courses dotting southeast Michigan is its remarkable conditioning for the price point and a layout that rewards course management over pure power. The greens roll true and fast enough to demand respect, while the fairways are typically generous enough that weekend warriors won't lose a sleeve of balls. It's walking-friendly, which is increasingly rare among public courses, and the pace of play rarely drags thanks to sensible design that doesn't artificially inflate difficulty with water hazards on every other hole.
