🏌️ Oakland University Golf & Training Center: 👍👍👍👍👍 Experience Golf Excellence at Oakland University's Golf & Training Center, offering a range of amenities including a golf range, chipping, and putting areas. COURSE 👍: The course is meticulously maintained, boasting excellent fairways and greens. While the greens are relatively small and numerous narrow fairways challenge players, the abundance of sand bunkers adds to the game's complexity. AMENITIES 👍: The facility offers a golf range, and the Proshop provides a variety of food and drinks. Notably, there's a beer cart girl on the course,…

Very rude pro shop. The 2 girls one was a manager and the other maybe named Renee? Extremely rude and unprofessional. I am an alum, have donated to the school multiple times, and attend many events. I registered to be a member at one of the golf courses called Kaki? Paid and everything. Called to book a tee time and was told I couldn't book tee times before 2. And the girls were extremely rude about it. I tried to book a 1:51 pm tee time. And they said I couldn't book it. And there was no other times available. The girls were very rude, unprofessional, etc. I was treated pretty good as a 6 ye…

It is the first time I have eaten at Finnegans, which has a seated veranda overlooking the first tee at Katke Cousins golf course. The view was really pretty. It almost had a Great Gatsby feel about it as if you were in another era. The food was very good, and we lingered as long as we could, not wanting to leave. What an elegant addition to the historic grounds.

Beautiful architecture. You will feel like you are in Gaylord MI on these courses. HUGE amounts of land so every hole is secluded by tall trees from the next. The clubhouse and bar/restaurant give an old world feel. Amazing 2nd story patio overlooking the 18th green and 1st tee box. The staff is terrific and the courses are in fantastic shape. Greens are fast. My only complaint is that they do not have an ATM on site.

I love this golf club! The staff and members are extremely friendly and welcoming! I joined the ladies league - first time joining a golf league - and the ladies have been encouraging, inspiring and fun! I look forward to every round I play on these two amazing courses!

Played Katke for the first time this year and you would think you would get basic maintenance with raked bunkers, cut greens and a full 18 hole golf course for a $110 guest fee. Instead you get a temporary green on the 10th hole, unattended bunkers with compacted sand and weeds growing around them and uncut greens. It's very unfortunate but this has been the issue with OU's premium golf courses the last few years or so. Maintenance is not a priority to them yet they keep raising the price positioning themselves like a private club. What used to be premier championship golf courses with great…

Let me start by saying I have golfed all over the United States and several other countries and truly love the game. I also will rate everything from Restaurants, retail stores, Fine Dining and off course golf courses. During our visit to Oakland University golf course the first thing I noticed was how beautiful the buildings and restaurant was. Beautiful entry way leading into the course was amazing and looking forward to a great day. However things turned bad when talking to several staff members in the pro shop. All not just one but all staff members in the pro shop were extremely rude. I w…

I have two advanced degrees from OU. Currently enrolled in fall classes to finish up my MBA, yet I still can’t golf Katke Cousins because I’m not currently in summer classes? I don’t know when this policy changed or if I have just been given false information but the administrative side of OU golf has always been a disaster. Sad when a life long grizzly can’t even golf their own course

Very nice course, facilities, and staff. Except for the starter, Dan, who sits in his cart, stares down patrons, and barks orders. Why so miserable, Dan?

The first place in my list to play golf in Detroit area. I love to play in both courses. Walking in Katke with my loved one is one of my reasons to be there.
