The North Course at Walnut Creek Country Club in South Lyon, Michigan, is an Arthur Hills design that opened in the early 1990s as part of a larger residential and golf development west of Detroit. Hills, known for his work throughout the Midwest during this era, created a layout that works with the rolling terrain characteristic of southeastern Michigan's glacial landscape. The course features elevation changes, mature hardwood corridors, and several water features that come into play on multiple holes. The routing takes advantage of natural contours and wooded areas, with fairways that often require strategic positioning off the tee to set up favorable approach angles. Hills incorporated his typical design elements: generous landing areas balanced by well-placed hazards, greens with moderate undulation, and risk-reward opportunities that reward aggressive play without overly penalizing conservative strategies. The course plays through a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with the back nine generally considered the more demanding half of the layout. Walnut Creek functions as a semi-private facility, serving both members and outside play, and has been a fixture in the South Lyon golf community for over three decades. The club offers traditional country club amenities including dining facilities and practice areas. The North Course complements the property's South Course, providing members with variety in their regular play while maintaining the playable character that defines much of Hills's portfolio in the region.
