Lake Orion sits about 40 miles north of Detroit in Oakland County, one of Michigan's most golf-saturated corners — the state consistently ranks among the highest in the country for courses per capita, and this particular stretch of lower Michigan delivers the glacially sculpted terrain that makes the game here genuinely interesting. Rolling moraines, natural ponds, and stands of hardwood are the raw material, and courses built into this landscape tend to reward patience and local knowledge over raw power.
A par 70 layout signals something worth paying attention to. Two fewer par 5s than a standard par 72 — or more likely a pair of par 4s playing longer and trickier than their designation suggests — means the course leans on precision and course management rather than distance. Players who move the ball both ways and think their way around tend to fare better than those hunting birdies on the long holes.
The name "Old Course" implies a certain seniority in the local golf community, the kind of track that has been shaping swings and settling bets for decades. Oakland County golfers tend to know their courses well, and a layout that has earned a possessive nickname like that usually means it has the history and personality to back it up.
