South at Pheasant Run Golf Club

Pheasant Run Golf Club's South Course in Canton, Michigan, is an Arthur Hills design that opened in the mid-1990s as part of a 36-hole public facility serving the western Detroit suburbs. Hills, known for his work throughout the Midwest and his ability to create playable yet strategic layouts on varied terrain, routed this course through rolling farmland and natural wetlands characteristic of southeastern Michigan. The property features mature tree stands, open meadow areas, and water hazards that come into play on several holes, giving the layout both visual definition and strategic variety.

The South Course typically plays as the more demanding of Pheasant Run's two eighteens, with length, water carries, and well-bunkered greens requiring thoughtful club selection and course management. Hills incorporated elevation changes where the land allowed, and the routing takes advantage of natural drainage corridors and existing vegetation to frame holes and create distinct playing corridors. The greens feature moderate undulation, rewarding accurate approach shots while penalizing misses to the wrong tier or section.

As a daily-fee facility, Pheasant Run serves a broad range of golfers in the Canton area, from casual players to competitive amateurs. The course hosts local tournaments and league play throughout the season. The club offers practice facilities and a clubhouse with standard amenities typical of Michigan public golf venues, making it a familiar destination for metro Detroit golfers seeking an Arthur Hills design without private club membership.
