About this course

College Fields Golf Club sits in Okemos, a suburb just east of Lansing in mid-Michigan. The course was designed by David Savic, a Michigan-based architect who has worked on several layouts in the Great Lakes region. The property occupies gently rolling terrain typical of the area, with mature trees framing many holes and modest elevation changes that add variety to the routing without creating severe uphill or downhill shots. The course serves a local membership and daily-fee clientele, offering a straightforward test of golf suited to a range of skill levels. The layout incorporates water hazards on several holes and uses bunkers to define landing areas and guard greens. Tree-lined fairways require accuracy off the tee, while the putting surfaces present modest undulation. The conditioning and pace of play reflect the course's role as a community facility that balances accessibility with challenge. Okemos itself is home to Michigan State University nearby in East Lansing, and the surrounding area features a mix of residential development and agricultural land. College Fields fits into this landscape as a neighborhood course where local golfers can play regularly without the formality or expense of a private club. The clubhouse provides basic amenities including food and beverage service, and the course hosts outings and league play throughout the season.

Getting there

College Fields Golf Club, nestled in the rolling terrain near Okemos, is most readily reached via Capital Region International Airport (LAN), located just twenty minutes south in Lansing, or via the larger Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), roughly ninety minutes southeast, both offering straightforward rental-car transitions into mid-Michigan's quiet countryside. The drive from either hub carries you north through the gently undulating landscape of central Michigan, where suburban sprawl gradually yields to open farmland and tree-lined residential enclaves characteristic of the region. As you approach Okemos, the surroundings settle into a distinctly Midwestern rhythm - manicured neighborhoods interspersed with natural woodland - before the club's entrance emerges along a tree-sheltered drive that signals arrival at one of the area's most respected private sanctuaries. The entire journey, whether from Lansing or Detroit, unfolds as a gentle decompression from the highway into the quiet, understated elegance that defines College Fields Golf Club.
