The Winter issue of Michigan Golfer (pdf) has a bunch of top 10 lists on a range of different golf things. One of them is a list from Golfweek of the top 10 courses in Michigan. Now, presumably, these are intentionally just public courses, otherwise, you know, Oakland Hills South would be on the list and it isn't.
 
I do like these kind of lists and although they are always subjective, I have to pick on a couple of their choices. Here is the list (no particular order?):
 
Arcadia Bluffs

Wilderness Valley - Valley Course
Bay Harbor - Links Course
Bay Harbor - Quarry Course
Gailes
Treetops Signature
Black Lake
 
[1] Surely they meant the Black Forest course and not the older Valley Course. Right?
[2] Links and Quarry are both 9 holers. Shouldn't they be lumped together as one entry in the list of 10. As it stands, this is actually a top 9 list.
[3] The Signature course at Treetops? I would think that the Jones Masterpiece (or maybe even the Fazio) is the better of the two.
[4] What about some of these as a candidate for the missing 10th course? Shepherd's Hollow, The Hills at Boyne Highlands, The Bear at GTRV, Elk Ridge, The Majestic at Lake Walden, Legend or Cedar River at Shanty Creek, ... I could go on...
