Good choice.

Is it? I’m not keen on any mile other than 8-mile. 12-mile seems 50% more dangerous?

keep your miles > 8 and you’ll be just fine

Across the road from the private Red Run GC. Pretty c-suite if you ask me…

Should I play there Friday? Should we play there Friday? Is it good? Are we better off at Detroit CC?

Don’t shoot the messenger but Luna has been closed for about a year. The iconic ‘$2 you call its’ are still available at sister bar Orchid in Ferndale.

God dammit, that’s the second bar I’ve referenced that’s closed. I need to stop posting in here. FFS.

lol you’re really on a cold streak today

Guess we’ll just have to end up at Fifth Ave :upside_down_face:

Who’s Vince McMahon for this event? Is it @weirdfishes? If so I hope you’ve started practicing your new walk:

It’s tough to get just right, so I’d recommend practicing in front of a mirror

Other options within the area that haven’t been mentioned:

  • Oakland University’s Katke-Cousins course
  • Royal Oak Golf Course (9 holes)
  • Blackheath
  • Twin Lakes
  • Greystone

Blackheath, Twin Lakes, and Greystone are further out around 45 minutes or so.

If anyone is willing to get in Thursday evening, I would be down to do an early day trip on Friday over to Forest Dunes and come back in the evening.

I’m a blue collar kid from 13 mile so I don’t know shit, but If you can get on it’s probably your best course in the immediate vacinity.

Franklin Hills is way better than Detroit GC and is 20ish mins away.

Edit: damn, Franklin Hills is #5 in the state.

None of you guys plan on Preserved Linksing your way onto Oakland Hills?

Currently looking at a Friday evening arrival, play Rackham Sat and fly back early Sunday. But…Can maybe red eye in Friday if I’m feeling sinister and play somewhere. Parker & Parker get there before me I think.

I am OUT on private golf for the Detroit meet up. I side with @gatorz7888 who believe we should support the muni scene. Karen (director of Detroit golf) will help us out, I’m sure.

Women named Karen take L’s left and right in many jokes so she can use the win

The good course is closed for a Hanse reno. Tough stuff.

In for Friday afternoon golf.

Will probably be rolling in town around 10am on a red-eye interstate drive of 6-ish hours.
