Shepherd's Hollow Golf Club, Clarkston

Played this tract alone on a Wednesday afternoon in late April. Pros: Very challenging. Shot maker's course. If you’re a pin seeker this course is for you. Very beautiful. Lots of elevation change and undulations, I wouldn’t wanna walk it. The trees are amazing, this tract is at its peak of maturity forestry-wise. Friendly and helpful staff. Especially Paul, the starter. Electric carts. Although mine was a little grubby... Great pace of play at just under 4 hours Cons: Very challenging. Not a lot of choices to bail or miss well and TONS of blind shots. Of the 111 shots I took, less than 10 found a flat lie. Cart paths are shot. They need total replacement. Layout is kinda wonky, with some cart paths being two way? Follow the signs! No Beverage cart, but it was early in the season. No course map on the card. Hard to navigate and plan shots. Need GPS on the carts or some sort of schematic on the card please! Lastly it’s rather pricy.

Have played this course over many years usually on father's day weekend. Multiple tee boxes to fit your own game. Look forward to hole 18 that taunts you to make your own tin cup decision. Only once did I recreate that exhilarating and unforgettable moment after witnessing the splash of 4 golf balls. Priceless.
