Bloomfield Hills sits at the heart of Oakland County, one of the wealthiest counties in the United States and one of the most golf-saturated pockets of the Midwest. The area's rolling, glacially carved terrain — gentle ridges, hardwood stands, and the kind of topography that lends itself naturally to routing a golf course — has made it home to some of Michigan's most storied private clubs. Playing golf here means playing against a backdrop of mature oaks and maples that put on a genuine show come autumn.
Stoneycroft Hills Club is a private membership club in that tradition, and its par 70 suggests a layout that leans on precision and shot-making rather than sheer length. A par 70 typically means a reduced count of par 5s or an added short par 4, either of which tends to reward players who can work the ball and think their way around a course rather than simply overpower it.
Beyond the numbers, this is golf in a community where the game is woven into everyday life — competitive, social, and taken seriously in equal measure.
