Level medium-size tees sit beside a pond with wetlands that lies right of the tees and should not come into play.

A maintained fringe surrounds the large green that features a receptive surface, subtle undulations and runs at a fast-putting speed.

SUMMARY
Copper Creek Golf Course in Farmington Hills features the 9-hole layout designed by Bob Cupp at this public course that delivers Irish course style. This course has undergone great improvements with rolling fairways, difficult but maintained rough, a few nice water-hazards and true bunkers. Large green complexes that are fast and large greet every approach while tee boxes are being worked on for improvement. Overall this is a fun and challenging play so with the upcoming work being done it should become one of the best 9-hole courses in the area. This is a Michigan Golf Matrix recommended play.
