About this course

The Fox Classic - Lakes course is part of Fox Hills Golf and Banquet Center, a multi-course facility in Plymouth, Michigan, located in the western Detroit metropolitan area. The course was designed by Wilfrid Reid and later renovated by Jim Lipe, reflecting the evolution of golf architecture at this public facility over several decades. Fox Hills has served the southeastern Michigan golf community since the mid-twentieth century, offering accessible golf in a region with a strong public golf tradition. The Lakes course occupies gently rolling terrain characteristic of southeastern Michigan, with mature tree-lined fairways and water features that come into play on several holes. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours and incorporates the ponds and wetlands that give the course its name. Players encounter a variety of hole designs that test both accuracy and course management, with water hazards requiring strategic decisions off the tee and on approach shots. As part of a larger golf and banquet complex, Fox Hills serves a diverse membership and daily-fee clientele. The facility has hosted regional amateur competitions and remains a fixture in the Detroit-area public golf landscape. The Lakes course represents a traditional parkland design adapted to Michigan's climate and topography, offering a straightforward test of golf without excessive length or severe hazards. The banquet center component reflects the facility's role as a community gathering place beyond its golf offerings.

Getting there

Most visitors to Fox Hills Golf and Banquet Center arrive via Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), a straightforward 25-minute drive northeast through the western suburbs of metro Detroit. The route follows I-275 north into Plymouth Township, where the landscape shifts from industrial corridors to a quieter patchwork of residential neighborhoods and rolling farmland. As you exit onto North Territorial Road, the sprawl gives way to open space, and the property's wooded edges and manicured fairways emerge just west of town - a surprisingly serene pocket of golf tucked into Michigan's automotive heartland.
