Lyon Oaks Golf Course and Event Center

"Used to be a great course when our league starting playing there 15 or so years ago... greens were always in great condition and it was a challenging league course that kept the game up. Over the last 5 to 7 years conditions have gone south. Greens hit and miss... spongy and slow. Then they got new golf carts... great except they did not pay for the extra costs for ball and club washers on the carts which is what they had before... and they didn't pay to put permanent washers at the holes either. Their solution? A bucket with water... wet your towel. Not bad if this was a lower quality course, but they over charge here for golf and you expect a bit more class and quality. I played here Sat 11/4 and paid $77 for 18 holes. NO FALL RATES!! Seriously!! The only public courses I've played in area this fall (including quality tracks like Pine Knob, StoneBridge, Coyote Preserve, Northville Hills, etc.) that doesn't have fall rates! And the restaurant bar?? High prices and poor food choices! If this keeps up, I'd be surprised if Oakland County doesn't run this course out of business if they don't change their policies."

"A surprisingly amazing golf course. Conditions are top tier. Every hole is secluded with tons of nature surrounding you. This became my favorite course in SE Michigan."

"Beautiful course, very forgiving for any individual playing on the green (reds). Loved the cranes on the golf course as well"

"Very nice course that offers some challenging shots. Really has the quiet, northern Michigan feel to it. Course seemed very well maintained but there were a few holes where the greens had been pretty beaten up. Overall, I was impressed with this course and can't wait to play a full 18 here."

"I want to start off by saying I am a local wedding planner... so I have worked at a LOT of venues. In my eyes Lyon Oaks is one of the best. Not only is the venue such a transformable space (meaning any style will fit in fantastic) but the staff of Katherine's Catering is out of this world! I have personally worked with Jennifer and Kim on multiple events at this point and I would work with them every weekend if I could! Down to every detail they are fantastic. The communication between both myself and my clients are top notch, and the lengths Kim went to day of to make sure my client had one specific type of wine that is not normally stocked shows how far above and beyond she is willing to go for the clients. Not to mention how simple and easy the entire planning process was working with them was! Starting off with our initial meeting, creating a completely custom menu for my client, finding a balance between having two extra proteins than a typical buffet normally does and making sure it didn't break the budget. Into the tasting and making sure everything was properly selected so a full picture of the menu was created, and the personal service Kim especially provided through the tasting made my clients feel as they were dining at a 5 star restaurant! I could go on and on! Bottom line is, if you're looking for great food, great space, and exceptional service... look no further!!!"
