Bloomfield Hills sits at the heart of Michigan's most concentrated stretch of serious golf, a leafy Oakland County enclave where the game has been taken seriously for well over a century. The surrounding area is home to some of the most celebrated private clubs in the Midwest — Oakland Hills, Bloomfield Hills Country Club, and Detroit Golf Club among them — and any course operating in that neighborhood knows the competition for prestige and quality is fierce.
The name Heathers Club conjures the heathland tradition — open, breezy layouts where turf firms up and the ball rolls freely — a style that suits southeast Michigan's sandy glacial soils better than most golfers realize. Whether or not the design leans fully into that heritage, the name signals an intention: this is a place that takes its golf identity seriously.
A par of 70 typically means the course rewards precision over power, with fewer par 5s and perhaps a collection of shorter, sharper two-shotters and demanding par 3s that put a premium on ball-striking and course management.
