When the Arthur Hills-designed Pine Trace Golf Club opened in 1989, upscale public golf in southeast Michigan changed forever. The perfect bridge between public and private golf courses, Pine Trace offers different scenic views on each hole. From trees (pines, maple and oaks) that isolate you from the world, to birds (including blue jays, cardinals and robins) to the natural characteristics (swamp land, ponds and artificial lakes) that come into play, this golf course offers something for everyone. Pine Trace G.C. set the standard, and it has passed the test of time.

- If you want to play a 6 hour round on a good course have fun! One of the owner's wife runs the pro shop and has no clue what she is doing and they have 8 minutes between tee times. All they care about is your money and want to get as many people on the course as possible and don't care how long it takes you to finish. Nice course for the area but needs major improvement in how they run the course. They continue to lose golfers every year which is sad.Course is in super condition. the greens are shew fast... way to go! my customers loved the course and the whole expierence. The pro shop helped me change my tee time due to my customers late arrival with such class. I will be back again and again.LOVED THIS COURSE!!! WILL TAKE MY FOUR-SOME BACK ANYTIME. THE GREENS ARE THE BEST IN THE COUNTY. THE STAFF IN THE PROSHOP ARE SUPER.... WE HAD TAKE OUT SLIDERS THAT WERE GREAT TOO!I Had a wonderful experience at PINE TRACE! the staff was truly warm and friendly, the couse was in wonderful shape. The Greens are outstanding!!!! I also took my clients on a very busy day and had a fast but tasty lunch and we have a 4 and 1.2 hour round. Great time Great people a must to play and take your customers to! We had no issues with the "rangers" they were kind and very informative and even when back to get my gap Wedge I left. I always look forward to my round at Pine Trace!!!!!Great course but run really poorly. They do there tee times 8 minutes apart and look for it to be close to a 6 hour round. Ownership just wants to get as much money as possible and do not care about pace of play. It's a shame because it is a great course.
Pine Trace is a terrific course which is fair, yet can be a challenging test of your golfing ability.
It offers a wide variety of holes, from wide open to target golf. The greens at Pine Trace are usually top notch, although a couple had problems in the 09-10 winter.
I think the keys to this course are the par 5s. On the front, you finish with the 8th and 9th holes. #8 is reachable for decent length hitters, but you have to turn the ball around the corner.
On the back, you're presented with 3 scoring opportunities in a row from holes 10-12, but each requires an accurate tee shot. However, you'll be rewarded with a short iron or wedge into each of these greens.
13 & 16 are both difficult par 5s. 13 is all about the 2nd shot to position yourself into an open shot for your 3rd, and 16 requires either a long tee shot, or one far enough right so that you can get around the corner. 16 is one of the most demanding par 5s you'll ever play.
Try Pine Trace, you'll love it!
