West at The Links at Novi

The Links at Novi's West Course is a daily-fee facility located in suburban Detroit, designed by Jerry Matthews and Bob Lohmann. Opened in the mid-1990s as part of Novi's municipal golf complex, the course serves the northwest Detroit metropolitan area with accessible public golf. The design reflects the collaborative work of Matthews and Lohmann, who created several Michigan courses during this period, typically emphasizing playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating natural terrain features.

The routing takes advantage of the gently rolling topography characteristic of southeastern Michigan, with mature tree lines defining many holes and water features coming into play on several. The course layout balances risk-reward opportunities with straightforward holes, making it suitable for both recreational play and competitive rounds. As a municipal facility, it sees regular use from local leagues and tournaments.

The Links at Novi operates as part of the city's parks and recreation system, offering a straightforward golf experience without the amenities of a private club. The West Course shares the property with additional golf facilities, contributing to Novi's reputation as a golf-friendly community in Oakland County. The course provides a typical public golf experience for the region, with conditions and pace of play reflecting its role as an accessible, high-traffic municipal venue.
