Getting there
Most visitors to Moose Ridge Golf Course arrive through Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), roughly forty-five minutes to the southeast, though private aircraft can utilize Oakland County International Airport in Waterford for a shorter, more direct approach. The drive northwest from Detroit traces the gradual transition from urban sprawl to the rolling farmland and wooded corridors of western Oakland County, where suburban development gives way to open sky and quieter two-lane roads. Moose Ridge sits just beyond the charming downtown of South Lyon, a low-key arrival that belies the thoughtful routing and natural contours awaiting within.
