Personal Recollection:
I grew up in Southfield just down the road from Bonnie Brook. I drove by it more times than I can count. I believe I played a couple of weddings there when I was a musician. I never golfed much so I don't remember the course but I recall it was a well thought of club. I am sure Southfield was mostly woods when this place was built. There is a U-Haul outlet sitting on the lot where the old clubhouse and banquet hall was. Part of the old course has been used as a golf school and disc golf.
From Foretee:
Bonnie Brook Golf Course is a Public, 18 hole executive length golf course located in Detroit, Michigan. Bonnie Brook Golf Course opened in 1925.
This hilly course was cut out of a wooded area. There are some elevated greens and tee boxes, and one creek that meanders throughout the course and comes into play on five or six holes. Bonnie Brook Golf Course is a par-61 layout that measures 3,839 yards from the back tees and 3,303 yards from the forward tees.
Bonnie Brook Golf Club closed in 2001. In April 2001 Bonnie Brook Golf Course Clubhouse and surroundings were demolished.
