It is a decent golf course but they could easily take down hundreds of giant trees, back tees seem to be forgotten as some of those tee boxes are the size of a range mat with tree branches in the way. I'm guessing DeVries will take care of that stuff thought. I'm excited as Dunham Hills is 10 minutes from my house and we need more interesting golf courses in the area but I'm also nervous that this course will turn into a $150 green fee within a couple of years.

My favorite golf course. I worked midnights watering the course and greens in the Summer of 1978 prior to automatic sprinkling system availability. For decades Dunham had the best and trickiest greens in SE Michigan. I played there a lot but my dad played several hundred rounds out there. He played the course 2-3 times a week from 1976-2016 in the Summers. Many fond memories of a great golf course. I’m interested to see the changes.

This will be interesting to watch as it develops. Hope you get to play it this year, the property has potential. I haven’t played it in years but I think it’s still on a dirt road.

I also worry about that. Hopefully a local discount, though, for folks who live that close.
