Westwynd Golf

Westwynd Golf Course sits in Oakland Township in northern Oakland County, Michigan, an area characterized by rolling terrain and mature woodlands typical of the region's glacial landscape. Designed by Craig Schreiner, the course reflects the work of an architect who has contributed several layouts to Michigan's golf landscape, though Westwynd remains among his less nationally prominent designs. The routing takes advantage of the natural topography, with elevation changes and tree-lined corridors that define individual holes and create a sense of seclusion throughout the round. The course layout incorporates the wooded character of southeastern Michigan, with fairways carved through stands of hardwoods and strategic bunkering that emphasizes accuracy over distance. Water features appear on several holes, adding variety to the shot-making requirements. The design generally favors players who can navigate tree-lined fairways and manage their approach angles into greens that feature modest but meaningful contours. Westwynd operates as a public facility, serving golfers from the northern Detroit metropolitan area and Oakland County communities. The course provides a straightforward test of golf within a natural setting, appealing to regular players seeking a familiar venue for weekend rounds and league play. The clubhouse offers standard amenities typical of Michigan daily-fee courses, supporting both casual and organized golf throughout the season.
