Detailed description of Wheatfield Valley Golf Club
Wheatfield Valley Golf Club is a Public, 18 hole golf course located in Williamston, Michigan.
Wheatfield Valley Golf Club first opened for play in 1996. The course was designed by George Duke and Kevin Sustick.
This scenic course was cut out a forest on former farmland. Some of the fairways are dogleg configurations with some undulation. However, the greens are primarily flat. There are a few water hazards and many sand bunkers in the design.
The signature hole is #15, an 182-yard, par 3, which calls for a carry over a pond with no safe area to lay-up around the green.
Par for the course is 70. From the back tees, the course plays to 5641 yards. From the forward tees, the course measures 4471 yards. The longest hole on the course is # 17, a par-5 that plays to 506 yards. The shortest hole on the course is # 5, a par-3 that plays to 145 yards from the back tees.
Watch out for # 12, a 414-yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 5, a 145 yard par-3.

I've been putting off playing this shorter 1996 eighteen (18) hole layout because the tips at 5,747yds / 67.4 / 120 Par 34/36 seemed kinda lame.......I was wrong. Every course no matter how long or short can show you a weakness in your game. With four (4) tee boxes going down to 4,479yd / 65.9 / 114 it would be a great for a young family's afternoon outing on the Link's. They had great yardage blocks in the fairway and also the Par 3's........which is a big plus in my book. The fairways are very fair in landing areas, full grass that's tightly mowed, playable 2" rough with scattered trees framing your way to the green. Greens were smooth and average to smaller in size, but very firm no matter what approach shot I hit. The #1 starts you out with a easy 467yd uphill Par 5 with a big green to get you warmed up and work out those kinks. The #2 is a nice 156-127yd downhill Par 3 with a pond for those that eat their Wheaties this morning. The #3 is a 342yd dogleg right Par 4 but missing the narrow green left or long is O.B. The #4 is a narrow tee chute on this 324yd Hcp 4 Par 4 with O.B. down the righthand side. The #6 has a 180yd carry to the narrow fairway, with O.B. left on this 362yd Par 4 straightaway hole to a long narrow green. Finishing up with a 408yd Hcp 2 Par 4 with trees O.B. right and sand trap left at 210yds to carry. The Back 9 starts out with another uphill, wide open 453yd Par 5 that scores easy so enjoy it. The #11 is a downhill 336yd Par 4 with a greens that feeds to the back, so play to the front end here. The #12 is a uphill climb 414yd Hcp 1 Par 4 that plays better from the lefthand side of the fairway, to the narrow green. The #13 is a real dogleg right 360yd Par 4 with 240yd drive going through the corner. The #14 a 317yd Par 4 dogleg right, sets up great for a 210yd cut shot that puts you short of the RH trap from the Blue tees. The #15 is one tough 182yd Par 3 from the Blue tees on this Hcp 3 hole. The pond stops 10yds from the green and O.B. left if missing the narrow green by 10yds with RH side not much better. The #17 Par 5 at 506yds is the longest hole with water down the RH side the last 180yds so stay left. Ending #18 on a 201-166yd Par 3 with a elevated green, sand trap RH side is great for throwing down some "Skin" money to end a friendly game. Was very surprised by the good conditions and rolling but challenging layout for such a short yardage layout. I ended up shooting 36/39 w/36putts on this sunny but 55 degree day in November.
