About this course

Indianwood Golf and Country Club's Old Course sits in Lake Orion, Michigan, roughly thirty miles north of Detroit in Oakland County. The course was designed by Wilfrid Reid and William Connellan and opened in the 1920s during the golden age of American golf architecture. Reid, a Canadian architect, worked extensively throughout the Midwest, while Connellan contributed to several Michigan layouts during this period. The property occupies rolling terrain characteristic of southeastern Michigan's glacial landscape, with mature hardwoods framing the holes and natural elevation changes that provide strategic interest without severe climbs. The routing takes advantage of the property's natural contours, with holes that move through corridors of oak, maple, and pine. Greens tend toward the smaller, subtly contoured style typical of the era, rewarding accurate approach play and requiring careful attention to pin positions. The course reflects the design sensibilities of its time—strategic bunkering, thoughtful use of doglegs, and green complexes that emphasize ground game options alongside aerial approaches. Indianwood has served as a private club for nearly a century, maintaining its traditional character while accommodating modern tournament standards. The club has hosted various regional amateur events and qualifiers over the decades, contributing to Michigan's competitive golf scene. The Old Course remains the centerpiece of the club's golf offerings, preserving the architectural principles of Reid and Connellan while serving a membership rooted in the northern Detroit suburbs.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Indianwood Golf & Country Club begin at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), roughly forty-five minutes south of the property. From there, the route traces northward through the outer suburbs before dissolving into the gently rolling terrain of Oakland County, where the landscape opens into wooded lakeside estates and quiet country roads. The final approach winds through Lake Orion's leafy residential corridors, culminating at the discreet gates of Indianwood - a storied enclave that has quietly anchored Michigan's private club tradition since the Roaring Twenties.
