Sand Creek is pretty special. Played Heston 100 times back in the day and it’s not in the same area code.
AH is ok once or twice but I think it’s kind of a Mickey Mouse course.
Shangri-La played a bunch. Not bad at all. Near a big lake is always a plus. Would play there anytime.

Sand Creek is my favorite public course. Auburn Hills is a very nice course, although driving it is the key.
I am at Grand Lake as we speak. Shangri La is excellent. Haven’t played the Cove. Patricia Island is decent.

Father, son and grandfather were all getting ready to start on the 1st hole when up walked a knock-you-dead with her looks blonde. She asked if she could play with them and said that if she could, there were three rules she had: They could not tell her how to play the hole nor what iron to use and she would tee from the same tee box as they did. After the first four holes she was even par and when they reached the 18th, she was on the green in two with a 16 foot putt to the hole for a one under par. She explained that she had never been this good before and that if any one of them could now advise her how to make the birdie, she would spend the night with that person. The son told her that the shot broke left to right and she had to hit it about 8 inches to the left and it would curve in. The father told her that there was a double break and it was slightly uphill and against the grain and that she should aim right and hit it firmly and the ball would go in. The grandfather lined the shot up from the ball to the hole, walked to the hole and lined up the shot that way, returned to the ball, looked again and returned to the hole and looked that way again. After doing this, gramps walked back to the ball, picked it up and said:

Hidden Gems? Not a hidden gem, but my favorite public course in the area is Sand Creek Station. It has a reasonable rate at $45 and it include range balls. The course is an excellent layout and is always in excellent shape. Plus it is a great venue to work on your MMA skills.
Top Nine Hole Course? I like the Links At Pretty Prairies. Nice layout and last time I played the course was in good shape.
Best Course for high handicappers? You can't beat Sim Park. Easy layout with little trouble.
Best Snack Bar? Any snack bar that has cold beer is considered "Best" to me.
Courses to avoid? Pine Bay is a little gimmicky, but I like how they give military a discount.
