Course Details: Several holes border the banks of Ford Lake, offering beautiful views throughout your round. Those include the course’s signature hole, the par-5 16th, which runs along the lake and has a peninsular green. The hole was recently cited by USA Today as one of Detroit’s “Dream 18-Most Memorable Holes.” Eagle Crest Golf Club is an excellent value, where you can enjoy golf, food, and drink in a grand setting that continues to receive Golf Digest Magazine’s Four-Star “Best Places To Play” rating.
