Fern Hill Golf Club

Fern Hill Golf Club is in Clinton Township, one of Macomb County's most populated communities—a major Detroit suburb along M-59 and I-94 that has grown substantially since the postwar suburban expansion pushed northeast from the city. Clinton Township's demographic character reflects the broader Macomb County story: white working-class and middle-class families who left Detroit in the 1970s and 1980s, joined by subsequent waves of suburban growth that have made the township one of the most populous in Michigan. Fern Hill serves the recreational golf market in a community of this size with a course whose name evokes the fern-covered stream banks and wooded terrain that persists along the creek corridors through an otherwise heavily developed suburban landscape.
