 Tyrone
Hills started its life as a lonely family farm
located the Ann Arbor- Brighton - Flint
Road. One mile west of the Tyrone Township
Hall and a few miles south west of the
Fenton Downtown Commercial Center. Residents
now lovingly referred to that part of town
as Dibbleville relating back to the original
Village's name before the Founding Fathers
gambled to name the Town and Street names.
During Fenton's hay days, it was a thriving
Lumber town with many Lumber Barons' living
in their mansions along the cities broad new
streets. Fenton lumber suppliers shipped
lumber out of state to help build cities
like Chicago and Indianapolis until the
forests were exhausted. Fenton remains a
major commercial center for the smaller
villages that surrounds it.
W. Bruce Matthews III, created Tyrone
Hills Golf Club in the late 1968. Originally
platted to be a 27 hole golf course, Bruce
used the rolling hills, ponds and trees to
create this beautiful public golf course.
