Fieldstone Golf Club of Auburn Hills

Fieldstone Golf Club of Auburn Hills is an Arthur Hills design located in the northern Detroit suburbs. Opened in the mid-1990s, the course reflects Hills's characteristic approach to working with natural terrain, incorporating the rolling topography and wooded corridors common to southeastern Michigan. The layout takes its name from the fieldstone that appears throughout the property, a geological feature Hills integrated into the design through stone-lined water hazards and decorative elements around several greens and tee complexes. The routing moves through mature hardwood forests and open meadow areas, creating a varied visual experience and demanding different shot shapes throughout the round. Hills designed the course with multiple tee boxes to accommodate a range of skill levels, while the green complexes feature the subtle contouring and strategic bunkering typical of his portfolio. Water comes into play on several holes, though it functions more as a strategic element than a dominant feature. Fieldstone operates as a semi-private facility, offering both member and daily-fee play. The club serves the Auburn Hills community and the broader Oakland County golf market, an area with a strong golf tradition and numerous quality courses. The setting provides a relatively secluded feel despite the suburban location, with the tree-lined fairways offering separation from surrounding development. The course represents a solid example of 1990s-era golf course architecture in Michigan, designed during a period of significant growth in the state's golf industry.
