OAKHURST GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
🇺🇸 Clarkston, MI, USA
Designed by Arthur Hills

Oakhurst Golf & Country Club sits in Clarkston, Michigan, a community in Oakland County northwest of Detroit. Arthur Hills designed the course, which reflects his characteristic approach to routing golf holes through rolling, wooded terrain common to southeastern Michigan. Hills, active from the 1960s through the 2000s, built a substantial portfolio of courses across the Midwest and became known for working with natural landforms while creating strategic variety through green complexes and hazard placement.
The course occupies property that features mature hardwoods and elevation changes typical of the region's glacial topography. Hills routed holes to incorporate these natural features, with tree-lined fairways and greens that often sit at different elevations from their approach zones. The design emphasizes accurate iron play and course management rather than pure length, though modern tee boxes provide flexibility for different skill levels.
Oakhurst functions as a private country club serving the Clarkston area, offering traditional member amenities alongside the golf course. The club maintains a family-oriented membership culture common to established suburban clubs in Michigan, with facilities that support both golf and social activities throughout the year. The course remains a fixture in the northern Detroit golf landscape, representing the kind of solid, playable design work that Hills delivered consistently across his career.
