Curtis Wright Passed Away

By Heidi Karakashian | November 23, 2016

Curtis Wright, designer, developer, and owner of Copper Hills Golf Club passed away Tuesday, November 22nd after a long hard battle with cancer. Curtis served 4 years in the Air Force from 1962-1966 which brought him to Michigan where he met his wife, Donna. After the Air Force, he went to work as an automotive designer for Ford and several other auto design shops. Then Curtis started his own site development business in the 70’s and continued in this field until his passion for golf and his artistic talents lead him to design and develop Cooper Hills Golf Club, a 27- hole championship golf course for which he won many awards.

In his personal life, his true passions were golf, painting, and being in nature. He also enjoyed traveling to his favorite vacation spot, Ixtapa, Mexico. He will be greatly missed by family, friends, employees and customers

Best Course I’ve played in a long time.

This is one of the best Golf Courses I've played in a long time. I play on a travel league that travels from Flint to Brighton to Ann Harbor and up to Port Huron. You don't find to many great golf courses like this. I have played this course before and it has always been in great shape.

Loved This Course

I played the Hill and Marsh which by the course rating/slope was the most difficult combo. I found it challenging but not completely overwhelming. Marsh has at least 2-3 holes that force you to lay up off the tee due to dog legs or water in the middle.

Great Shape

We played the Jungle and Hill courses today. This is the first course I've played this season where there is absolutely no winter kill on any of the greens, The greens were well watered, but pretty quick, and putts rolled true. The fairway were lush, green and well watered too. Like I said, we played here today, and we already have a tee time set up for Wednesday. With 5 sets of tees, I highly recommend the course to all players.

Hidden Gem

I've heard about this course from a co-worker. All I can say is that compared to more expensive courses this rates better than those. What a great value and a fantastic track.
