About this course

Calderone Farms Golf Club sits in Grass Lake, a small community in southeastern Michigan between Jackson and Ann Arbor. The course was designed by Bill Newcomb, a Michigan-based architect who has worked primarily in the Great Lakes region since the 1990s. Newcomb's designs typically emphasize playability across skill levels while working with the natural terrain available on each site. The property occupies former farmland, a common setting for Michigan golf courses developed in recent decades. The routing likely incorporates the area's characteristic rolling terrain and mature tree lines that often define former agricultural boundaries. Courses in this part of Michigan generally feature generous fairways with strategic bunkering and greens that reward accurate approach play. Water features, whether natural or constructed, frequently come into play on several holes. Calderone Farms serves the local golfing community in Jackson County and draws players from the surrounding region. The club offers a more relaxed atmosphere typical of semi-private or daily-fee facilities in smaller Michigan towns, where the focus remains on accessible golf rather than exclusivity. The course provides a straightforward test for recreational golfers while maintaining enough variety and challenge to keep regular play interesting throughout the season.

Getting there

The journey to Calderone Farms Golf Club begins at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), roughly an hour's drive west into the gently rolling farmland of south-central Michigan. The route traces Interstate 94 through Ann Arbor before peeling off into the quieter two-lanes that define Jackson County, where the landscape opens into a patchwork of working fields and wooded parcels. As the suburbs fade entirely, the final approach to Grass Lake reveals the kind of unhurried countryside that has become increasingly rare - a fitting prelude to a club that exists well beyond the noise of the everyday, where privacy and pastoral beauty converge on meticulously crafted ground.
