Taylor Meadows Golf Club

Lakes of Taylor is an Arthur Hills design located in Taylor, Michigan, a downriver suburb southwest of Detroit. Hills, known for his work throughout the Midwest and his ability to integrate water features and strategic bunkering into playable public courses, routed this layout to take advantage of the flat to gently rolling terrain characteristic of southeastern Michigan. The course incorporates multiple lakes and wetland areas into the design, creating both visual definition and strategic challenge on several holes. The layout reflects Hills's approach to accessible championship golf, with multiple tee boxes allowing varied yardages and playing experiences for different skill levels. Water comes into play on numerous holes, requiring thoughtful club selection and course management rather than simply overpowering the design. The bunkering is positioned to frame landing areas and greenside approaches, typical of Hills's style during this period of his career. Taylor Meadows operates as a public facility serving the downriver Detroit communities. The course provides a straightforward test of golf without excessive length or artificial difficulty, emphasizing accuracy and strategic thinking. The property's relatively open character allows for good pace of play while maintaining enough challenge to engage experienced players. The facility includes standard practice amenities and serves both daily-fee players and local league groups throughout the Michigan golf season.
