I'm familiar with some course 30 miles south in Brighton. From a thread in another forum that I posted in:

The Jackal, is just west off Grand River south of I-96 practically downtown Brighton and is on the Mt. Brighton ski hill. Tricky course but several holes hit off the top of the ski hill and that is a blast. Check Lastminutegolf.com or if someone has a Entertainment book for good rates. The Majestic at Lake Walden is north of town up US-23 just north of M-59. 27 holes, very pretty, one set of nine is across a lake you take a boat to. Again, check LMG.com. South on US-23 from I-96 a dozen miles is Moose Ridge, constructed on an old strawberry patch. Very hilly and scenic and many tees are elevated, again a blast to hit off the top of a hill. LMG.com again. Another course I have yet to play is the Coyote Preserve, a Arnold Palmer design, just another couple of miles north on US-23 of the Majestic. I stopped in there with a client to catch a late 9 but the course had leagues. It looked like it was in pristine condition.

    • Day 51 (yesterday was 50, not 59 -- that was a typo).  I didn't have a ton of time today.  I hit a dozen balls with a 6-iron in my practice room.   Amazingly, after this I did the ShotScope analysis of yesterday's round;  my approach play was at the 5 hcp level.  That's pretty darn good, but unfortunately for my score, some of that came from hitting a few good recovery shots.  But I also hit some really good approach shots that weren't from trouble!

    • Day 295 6-26 Low point control with towel again. Getting better but not swinging fast enough tonight. 
    • Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times. 
    • I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
