Wyandotte Shores Golf Course is a nine-hole links type course located on the Detroit River about seven miles south downriver from the Ambassador Bridge that connects Detroit and Windsor, Canada. Holes eight and nine run along the river where you often see high school crew (rowing) teams honing their skills. The Detroit skyline can be clearly seen from these same holes weather permitting. When the Matthews group designed the course 21 years ago, they must have had hickory golf in mind. All the holes are bunkered, but allow for a bump and run or a high shot to the green. The day is sure to be a delightful hickory experience.
