About this course

Fellows Creek Golf Club's South course is a public facility in Canton, Michigan, designed by the father-son team of Bruce and Jerry Matthews. The Matthews family has been responsible for numerous courses throughout Michigan and the Midwest, typically emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while working within the region's naturally rolling terrain. The South course serves as one of two eighteen-hole layouts at the property, providing accessible golf in the western Detroit suburbs. The course occupies land characteristic of southeastern Michigan, with moderate elevation changes and mature tree corridors defining many holes. Water features come into play on several holes, adding strategic interest to what is primarily a parkland design. The layout incorporates a mix of hole lengths and angles, asking players to manage both distance and accuracy without overwhelming recreational golfers. Bunkering is present but not excessive, and green complexes offer reasonable targets while still rewarding precise approach play. Canton's location between Detroit and Ann Arbor places Fellows Creek within a competitive public golf market, and the facility has built its reputation on conditioning and pace of play rather than championship pedigree. The South course functions as a straightforward test that accommodates daily-fee play, outings, and league golf. It represents the kind of solid, unpretentious public course that serves its local community without aspiring to national recognition.

Getting there

The journey to Fellows Creek Golf Club begins at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), a major Delta hub just twenty minutes southwest of the club. From the terminal, the route traces the outer edge of metro Detroit's western suburbs, slipping past Canton's commercial corridors before turning into the quieter residential and agricultural patchwork that still defines much of Wayne County's interior. The final approach feels less like arrival at a destination than a discovery - Fellows Creek reveals itself gradually, tucked into rolling farmland where the hum of the city fades and the landscape opens to reveal one of Michigan's most thoughtfully crafted daily-fee experiences.
