Golden Fox Course
Fox Hills Golf and Banquet Center
About this course
Golden Fox is one of three courses at Fox Hills Golf and Banquet Center in Plymouth, Michigan, designed by Arthur Hills and opened in 1989. Hills, known for his work throughout the Midwest and his ability to create strategic variety on relatively flat terrain, routed Golden Fox across gently rolling farmland west of Detroit. The course serves as the centerpiece of a public facility that also includes the shorter Classic and Strategic Fox courses, making Fox Hills a significant daily-fee destination in the metropolitan area. The layout measures over 7,100 yards from the back tees and features the characteristic Hills design elements of the era: generous fairway corridors punctuated by strategic bunkering, multiple teeing grounds to accommodate different skill levels, and greens with subtle contours that reward accurate approach play. Water comes into play on several holes, and mature trees frame many fairways, though the property retains an open, parkland character. The course has hosted various regional amateur events and qualifiers over the years. Golden Fox operates as part of a larger banquet and golf complex, drawing a mix of local members and daily-fee players from the Detroit suburbs. The facility's multiple courses allow it to accommodate high volumes of play while maintaining reasonable pace, and the banquet center makes it a popular venue for outings and events. The course represents a typical example of accessible, well-maintained public golf from the late 1980s development boom in American golf.

Getting there
The journey to Fox Hills Golf and Banquet Center begins at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), roughly thirty minutes northwest via I-275 through the western suburbs of Metro Detroit. The drive traces a gentle arc through Plymouth Township's blend of residential neighborhoods and preserved farmland, the landscape flattening into the glacial till plains that define southeastern Michigan. As the interstate gives way to North Territorial Road, the transition is subtle but unmistakable - suddenly you're pulling into the sprawling grounds of Fox Hills, a family-owned fixture since 1927 where banquet halls and multiple courses share acreage that feels unexpectedly pastoral given the proximity to the city's hum.
