About this course

Stony Creek Metropark Golf Course is a public facility located in Shelby Township, Michigan, approximately thirty miles north of Detroit. The course operates within the Huron-Clinton Metroparks system, a network of regional parks serving southeastern Michigan. It opened in the 1970s as part of the broader Stony Creek Metropark, which encompasses more than 4,400 acres and includes a large reservoir, beaches, and extensive recreational amenities. The golf course was designed to provide accessible public golf in a natural setting characteristic of the region's glacial landscape. The layout plays through rolling terrain with mature hardwoods and occasional wetland areas typical of Oakland County's topography. The course features a traditional parkland design with tree-lined fairways and several holes routed near or around water features connected to the Stony Creek impoundment. Elevation changes are moderate, and the design emphasizes playability for a wide range of golfers while maintaining enough length and strategic interest for regular play. As a metropark facility, Stony Creek serves a diverse membership and daily-fee clientele from the northern Detroit suburbs. The course hosts local tournaments and league play throughout the season and functions as a community golf resource rather than a private or resort destination. The clubhouse offers standard amenities consistent with municipal operations, and the course remains a popular option for golfers seeking affordable access to well-maintained public golf in a park-like environment.
