Westwynd Golf Course

Oakland Township sits in the northern reaches of Metro Detroit's sprawl, where the suburban grid gives way to rolling glacial terrain — moraines, wetlands, and woodlands that define much of Macomb and Oakland County's best golf country. This is a region that quietly punches above its weight for public golf, with several respected layouts tucked into its wooded corridors.

Westwynd Golf Course is an 18-hole public track that plays to a par of 71, suggesting at least a couple of short par-4s or a lone par-3 that tilts the math away from a standard par-72 setup. That kind of layout often rewards shot-making and course management over pure power — the player who can work the ball and think through a round tends to score better than the bomber who expects a straightforward test.

The broader Oakland Township area offers golfers a genuine sense of escape from the city without the resort price tag, making courses like Westwynd part of a working public golf ecosystem that keeps the game accessible in one of Michigan's most golf-dense counties.
