About this course

Edgewood Country Club in Commerce Township, Michigan, was designed by Ernest Way and Arthur Hills. The course reflects the collaborative approach of these two respected architects, with Way's foundational design work refined and developed by Hills, who became known for his thoughtful approach to routing and strategic bunkering. The layout takes advantage of the rolling terrain typical of southeastern Michigan, weaving through a landscape of mature trees and natural wetlands that define much of the region's character. The course presents a mix of strategic challenges across its eighteen holes, with bunkers and water features positioned to reward accurate shot-making rather than distance alone. The design emphasizes shot variety, requiring golfers to think through club selection and approach angles. Several holes work with the natural topography to create elevation changes that add visual interest and complexity to the routing. Edgewood has served the local golf community as a private club, hosting member competitions and regional events over its history. The clubhouse and grounds reflect the traditional country club setting, with dining facilities and practice areas supporting an active membership. The course has undergone various maintenance and renovation efforts typical of established clubs seeking to preserve and enhance their layouts while adapting to modern playing preferences and turf management practices.

Getting there

Edgewood Country Club sits just north of Detroit, accessible most directly via Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), roughly forty minutes south by car through the rolling suburbs of southeastern Michigan. Private aviation traffic favors Coleman A. Young International Airport (DET), Detroit's closer downtown hub, or the more exclusive Pontiac Oakland County Airport (PTK), which lies mere minutes from the club's Commerce Township address. The drive north from either commercial gateway traces a quiet progression through established neighborhoods and tree-lined roads, shedding the urban periphery as you approach the club's gated entrance - a transition that feels less like escape and more like arrival into a well-kept sanctuary of manicured fairways and clubhouse tradition.
