About this course

Bedford Hills Golf Club's Buckeye course is located in Temperance, Michigan, a small community in the southeastern corner of the state near the Ohio border. The course was designed by Fred Burning, though detailed public records of his broader portfolio and the specific design date for this layout are limited. The name "Buckeye" likely references the proximity to Ohio, known as the Buckeye State, reflecting the course's position in a border region where Michigan and Ohio golfing traditions intersect. The Temperance area sits in relatively flat to gently rolling terrain typical of southeastern Michigan, characterized by agricultural land interspersed with residential development. Courses in this region generally feature tree-lined fairways, modest elevation changes, and occasional water features from drainage patterns and ponds. The routing likely takes advantage of the natural landscape without dramatic topographical variation, offering a straightforward test of accuracy and course management rather than extreme shot-making demands. Bedford Hills serves the local golfing community in Monroe County and the greater Toledo metropolitan area, providing accessible golf in a region with a mix of public and semi-private facilities. The club caters to regional players seeking convenient rounds in a setting that balances playability with enough challenge to reward consistent ball-striking. As with many courses in smaller Michigan communities, the emphasis tends toward welcoming local membership and maintaining conditions suited to regular play throughout the season.

Getting there

The journey to Bedford Hills Golf Club begins at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), roughly forty minutes north along I-75 and US-23 through the flat, agricultural sprawl of southeastern Michigan. The drive south traces the quiet border country where Michigan meets Ohio, a landscape of cornfields and modest townships that feels worlds removed from the urban hum of Detroit. As you exit onto Sterns Road and wind through Temperance, the terrain opens into gentle, rolling farmland - a serene prelude to one of the region's most quietly distinguished private clubs, where understated elegance has long been the hallmark.
