About this course
Cherry Creek, carved into the suburban landscape of Shelby Township, is a golfing haven prized for its meticulously maintained conditions. Designed in the late 1990s, the course presents a modern take on parkland golf, characterized by tree-lined fairways, strategically placed water hazards, and subtly contoured greens. The layout subtly favors those who can work the ball from right to left, demanding thoughtful club selection and precise approaches into the greens. While not a championship venue steeped in major tournament history, Cherry Creek maintains a strong regional reputation among recreational golfers. Its appeal lies in its accessibility and playability for a wide range of skill levels. The course offers a fair test of golf without being overly penal, making it a popular choice for local leagues and casual rounds. The club fosters a community atmosphere, centered around the camaraderie found on the course and in the clubhouse. Cherry Creek is known locally for its thriving member events and a welcoming environment that encourages golfers of all abilities to enjoy the game. The relaxed, unpretentious vibe, coupled with consistently well-kept grounds, makes it a valued golfing destination in the Metro Detroit area.

Getting there
Cherry Creek Golf Club is most readily accessed via Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), situated approximately 40 minutes south of the club in Shelby Township, or via the smaller Coleman A. Young International Airport (DET) for a quicker urban approach. The drive north from either hub traces a gentle arc through the suburban landscape of southeastern Michigan, transitioning from the commercial corridors of Detroit into the quieter, tree-lined neighborhoods of Macomb County. Private aviation options are available at nearby Pontiac Oakland County Airport (PTK), a mere 20 minutes west, offering a more discreet arrival for those traveling by charter. The final miles unfold through rolling terrain dotted with mature oaks and maples, arriving at Cherry Creek's welcoming gates where championship-caliber greens and meticulously maintained fairways signal the beginning of your round in one of Michigan's most respected private clubs.
