Spend a day at Pine Trace and you’ll understand immediately why this course has held a special place in Southeast Michigan golf for more than three decades. The pines close in around you from the very first tee, creating a sense of remove that feels a world away from the suburbs surrounding it — quiet, focused, and entirely your own.
Arthur Hills designed Pine Trace with the same principle that guides all of his finest work: let the land lead. The result is 18 holes that feel both inevitable and surprising, each one occupying its own distinct character within the broader landscape. The fairways ask for shape and strategy. The newly rebuilt greens reward patience and precision. And the 40 bunkers — each one placed with intention — ensure that every decision off the tee carries real consequence.
Pine Trace is a course that plays differently depending on how you approach it. Four tee levels stretch from the Forward tees at around 5,000 yards to the Championship tees at approximately 6,600, meaning the course has something genuine to offer every player — not as a concession, but by design. Hills built it that way on purpose.
We invite you to come and play it. Preferably more than once.
For our golfing guests, Shepherd’s Hollow also provides a full-service turn grille to address your refreshment needs throughout your round. Prior to teeing off and as you make the turn, you may select from our assortment of gourmet snacks, freshly prepared sandwiches, and premium beverages. While we do not operate a beverage cart on the course, we are delighted to prepare beverages on ice for your enjoyment throughout your first nine holes before you reach the turn.
