Pine Trace Park and Golf Club
Michael Hartner, City of Rochester Hills
This innovative public/private venture between the City of Rochester Hills and Golf Concepts turned an undeveloped 193 acre park parcel into an extraordinary public 18 hole championship golf course designated as "one of the top new courses in the country" by Golf Digest when it opened. Renowned golf course architect Arthur Hills designed this challenging course around the naturally wooded and hilly terrain, with pine trees bordering the fairways, over 60 acres of wetlands and beautiful flower beds. This gaffing complex includes a driving range, clubhouse, pro shop, restaurant and banquet facilities.
