Detailed description of Normandy Oaks Golf Club, CLOSED 2014

Normandy Oaks Golf Club is a Private, 9 hole golf course located in Royal Oak, Michigan.

The course has well-manicured fairways and greens. The large greens are fast and slightly sloped.  Even though there aren't any water hazards on the course, it plays difficult because of all the trees that can alter your shots.

Watch out for # 1, a 401-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 5, a 134 yard par-3.

Normandy Oaks Golf Course closed in 2014.

The city-owned Normandy Oaks Golf Course closed in 2014 after several years of losing money. The course dated to the early 1970s when it opened as an overflow course for another nearby municipal club. The city sold 10 acres of Normandy Oaks for $3.85 million to Robertson Brothers Homes, which plans to build a 125-lot house and townhouse development for middle-class families.
