Sycamore Hills Golf Club
About this course
Sycamore Hills Golf Club's South Course is located in Macomb, Michigan, a suburban community in the northern Detroit metropolitan area. Designed by Jerry Matthews, a Michigan-based architect who has worked on numerous courses throughout the state, the layout reflects the rolling terrain characteristic of this part of Macomb County. The course serves a regional membership and provides a traditional parkland golf experience within the developed landscape of southeastern Michigan. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and mature tree corridors that define individual holes and frame playing corridors. Matthews's design approach typically emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating strategic elements that reward course management and accurate shot placement. The South Course features a mix of hole lengths and configurations, with doglegs, elevation changes, and green complexes that require thoughtful approach play. Sycamore Hills operates as a private club and maintains the course for member play throughout the Michigan golf season. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse amenities that support the membership's regular play and social activities. The South Course represents one of several Matthews designs in the region that cater to golfers seeking accessible, well-maintained layouts within the Detroit suburbs.

Getting there
Sycamore Hills Golf Club sits in the rolling terrain north of Detroit, most readily accessed via Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW), roughly forty minutes south by car through the suburban transition zones that give way to the quieter, wooded character of Macomb County. For those arriving by private aviation, Coleman A. Young International Airport (DET) offers a closer alternative, though the club's proximity to the greater Detroit metro means most members and guests arrive via the major commercial hub and enjoy a straightforward drive north through increasingly verdant landscape. The final miles wind through tree-lined roads that signal the shift from urban periphery to the serene, oak-studded grounds where Sycamore Hills commands its understated presence - a sanctuary of manicured fairways and native Michigan woodland that feels distinctly removed from the city's pull, despite its convenient location.
