About this course

The Links at Whitmore Lake is a public golf course located in Whitmore Lake, Michigan, a small community situated between Ann Arbor and Brighton in the southeastern part of the state. Designed by Bill Newcomb, a Michigan-based architect known for his work on numerous courses throughout the Great Lakes region, the layout reflects the rolling terrain characteristic of this part of Washtenaw County. The course serves the local golfing community and visitors to the area, offering an accessible option in a region with a strong golf tradition. The design takes advantage of the natural topography, with elevation changes and wooded corridors that frame many holes. As with many Michigan courses, the property features mature trees and seasonal water features that come into play on several holes. The routing provides variety in hole lengths and shot requirements, typical of Newcomb's practical approach to course design that emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining strategic interest. The course operates as a daily-fee facility, drawing players from nearby Ann Arbor, Brighton, and the surrounding communities. Its location in southeastern Michigan places it within a competitive market of public and semi-private courses, and it serves both regular local play and occasional tournament hosting for regional amateur events. The club offers standard amenities including practice facilities and a clubhouse with food and beverage service.

Getting there

The journey to The Links at Whitmore Lake begins at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), roughly forty minutes southeast through the rolling farmland and scattered woodlots of southeastern Michigan. The drive northwest along US-23 traces the glacial topography that shaped this region, gradually leaving suburban sprawl behind as the landscape opens into a quieter, lake-studded terrain. As you exit onto North Territorial Road, the final approach winds through modest residential pockets and stands of hardwood before revealing the course itself - a serene, unpretentious arrival befitting a daily-fee layout tucked into Michigan's heartland golf country.
