Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club

About Us :

"A THING OF BEAUTY is a joy forever," waxed Keats...especially when you can play golf on it. On 350 acres of rolling, wooded, and some would say blessed, land 30 miles north of Detroit in northern Oakland County, ownership took a less-is-more approach to what has been called "as good a piece of inland property as one has ever seen for a golf course." The parcel set aside for golf was leased from the Colombiere Center, a park-like retreat for the Detroit Province of the Society of Jesus, a Roman Catholic order of priests. It seems that divine providence was responsible for the 160-foot elevation change and wonderful mix of hardwoods (including four types of oaks), but it was the priests who planted the pines. The holes were shoehorned into the site's ridges, valleys, and woodlands, producing a 7,236-yard, par 72 layout that more closely resembles Northern Michigan golf courses than it does metro Detroit area courses. No two holes are alike, each occupies a roomy corridor, all are faithful to the rise and fall of the terrain.
