Golf in Clarkston

Clarkston is an Oakland County village in the Independence Township lake country, a small historic village that has maintained its downtown character while the surrounding townships have grown into some of northern Oakland County's most desirable residential communities. The Clarkston area's combination of kettle lakes—Independence Lake, Lake Orion, and dozens of smaller lakes—wooded terrain, and the proximity to Auburn Hills and Pontiac's employment corridors has made it one of Oakland County's most consistently desirable addresses. The DTE Energy Music Theatre—one of the nation's most successful outdoor amphitheaters—is located in the Clarkston area, and multiple quality golf courses serve the affluent residential market of northern Oakland County's lake district.
