Set on more than 350 rolling acres, at one of the highest elevations in Oakland County, Shepherd's Hollow is among the most unique golfing experiences in the state of Michigan. 27 holes tucked into a towering forest of pine and oak offers the golfer a natural setting that provides a sense of tranquility. The 27 holes were built on a piece of property with acrege that easily could provide twice the number of holes. A minimalist design was utilized to maintain and take advantage of what many consider a perfect piece of property for a golf course.

#2 welcomes players to taste the course's appeal. It plays 188 yards, all downhill over a bunker with a huge ridge that blocks the view of the front half of the green.

#3 is a short par-4 of 345 yards that plays all uphill between a horde of bunkers, which are unique to the course.

#17, a 179-yard par-3, is guarded on the left side by water.
