About this course
Fox Classic – Hills is one of three eighteen-hole courses at Fox Hills Golf and Banquet Center in Plymouth, Michigan, a facility that has served the Detroit metropolitan area since the mid-twentieth century. The course was originally designed by Wilfrid Reid and later renovated by Jim Lipe, reflecting the evolution of public golf in southeastern Michigan as demand grew and design philosophies shifted toward more strategic and playable layouts for a wide range of golfers. The routing takes advantage of the gently rolling terrain characteristic of this part of Wayne County, with elevation changes that are modest but sufficient to create visual interest and varied shot requirements. The landscape includes mature tree corridors that define fairways and frame approach shots, along with water features that come into play on several holes. The design emphasizes accessibility while maintaining enough challenge to engage experienced players, a balance typical of courses serving a high-volume public facility. Fox Hills operates as a comprehensive golf and event center, with the Classic – Hills course complementing the property's other layouts and extensive banquet facilities. The course sees steady play from local residents and visitors throughout the Michigan golf season, offering a straightforward test of golf in a setting that reflects the suburban expansion and recreational development of the Plymouth area over recent decades.
