Sycamore Hills Golf Club

Sycamore Hills Golf Club's West Course is located in Macomb, Michigan, a suburban community in the northern Detroit metropolitan area. Designed by Jerry Matthews, a Michigan-based architect active in the latter decades of the twentieth century, the course reflects the regional approach to golf design common in the Great Lakes states during that era. The property occupies gently rolling terrain typical of southeastern Michigan, where modest elevation changes and mature tree corridors define the playing corridors. The layout incorporates the natural landscape features of the area, with fairways framed by the sycamore and hardwood trees that give the club its name. Water features appear on several holes, a characteristic element in courses built across this part of Michigan where wetlands and drainage patterns influence routing decisions. The design emphasizes accuracy over distance on many holes, rewarding players who navigate the tree-lined fairways and avoid hazards positioned to challenge both tee shots and approach play. Sycamore Hills serves the local golfing community in Macomb County, providing a traditional parkland experience within the suburban setting. The course operates as part of a facility that has adapted to the evolving needs of Michigan golfers over the decades since its construction. The West Course remains one of the playing options at the property, offering a straightforward test of golf shaped by the region's landscape and design traditions.
