Canton, Michigan
While playing the South Nine you will see that it has a little more rolling terrain than the other nines and is also known for its elevation changes. One of the outstanding holes on this nine is the par-5 No. 4, measuring 509 yards from the back tees and 440 from the forward tees. This is a fairly long hole with trees on the left side, a large bunker on the right front of the green, and trees in the back. You can use a driver on this hole, and if you're a long hitter, you'll be able to reach the green on your second shot. Watch out as well for the hills and mounds around the green. The 5th hole is a short par-3 (147 yards from the back and 82 from the front tees) where you'll have an exciting downhill shot to the green. It's not a long shot, but it's still a challenging green to hit. There's a bunker on the right-hand side as well as a pond. If you're long, you could hit into a bunker behind the green. And the undulating green rises and falls, making for some lively putting. Another par-3 on this nine, the final hole has been chosen by the Detroit Free Press as one of its Toughest 18 Holes in Southeast Michigan. It's long – 208 yards from the back and 171 from the front. What makes it exciting is that you're hitting your ball uphill to the green. Meanwhile, you're keeping your eye on the creek to the right that runs from tee to green. If you're short, you'll be hitting off a downhill lie, and on top of that, anything short will generally kick right into the water.
