A New era at pine trace
Something New Is Growing at Pine Trace.
After two years of thoughtful renovation, Pine Trace Golf Club is opening its gates on June 12, 2026. We’ve honored what has always made Pine Trace special: the beauty of an Arthur Hills design, the warmth of a welcoming staff, and a genuine love for the game.
This is still the Pine Trace you know. And it’s only getting better from here.
2024 – 2026
The Rebuild
In September 2024, we closed the gates and got to work. Every green rebuilt. Every bunker redesigned. A new irrigation system, new cart paths, re-grassed fairways, and a fully reconstructed practice facility.
SUMMER 2026
The Reopening
Pine Trace is back starting June 12, 2026. The course has been transformed in every way that matters, and true to everything that made it worth coming back to. Golf at Pine Trace is better than ever.
2027 – 2028
Coming Soon
The renovation doesn’t stop at the course. A new banquet venue and fully reimagined clubhouse are already in design, set to make Pine Trace one of Southeast Michigan’s premier golf and event destinations.
Our Story
Rooted in Rochester Hills. Reimagined for Today.
Pine Trace Golf Club has been a cornerstone of Southeast Michigan golf since 1989. Built on one of the finest pieces of property in Oakland County and shaped by the vision of renowned architect Arthur Hills, the course was designed from the beginning to be something special — a public club where great golf and genuine hospitality go hand in hand.
Thirty-five years later, that foundation has never been stronger. A comprehensive renovation is well underway — starting with the course itself, which has been rebuilt from the ground up. The pines are still here. The welcome is still warm. And the work to make Pine Trace better than ever is just beginning.
Our Philosophy
Sophisticated Without Pretense. Elevated Without Exclusivity.
At Pine Trace, we believe great golf should be accessible, and a great experience should be the standard — not an exception. Our vision has always been to create a destination that honors the traditions of the game while making every guest feel genuinely at home. Not a private club with a velvet rope. A great public course that takes pride in everything it does.
That commitment runs through everything here: the condition of the greens, the quality of the food, the way our staff greets you when you walk through the door. Pine Trace is a place where the game comes first and where every detail of the experience is designed to make your time here memorable.
Recognition
A Record Worth Noting
Award-Winning in Oakland County: Consistently celebrated as one of Southeast Michigan’s premier golf destinations.
Arthur Hills Design: One of only a handful of Hills-designed public courses in Michigan.
Established 1989: Over three decades of golf, hospitality, and community in Rochester Hills.
Part of Something Bigger
Three Courses. One Standard of Excellence.
Pine Trace is proud to be part of a family of exceptional Southeast Michigan golf courses alongside Shepherd’s Hollow Golf Club and Cherry Creek Golf Club. Each property offers its own unique experience — but all three share the same commitment to quality golf, great hospitality, and courses worth making the drive for.
Come See What's New
The renovation is nearly complete. The course opens in June 2026. And there’s much more still to come. There’s never been a better time to experience Pine Trace for the first time or all over again.
