2nd Assistant Superintendent
Founded in 1899 by William R. Farrand and several close friends, Detroit Golf Club remains an exclusive private golf club to this day. Early in our existence, a six hole course turned into nine holes and later eighteen holes. By 1916, our two Donald Ross-designed courses were completed. The North Course is host to the Rocket Classic, a PGA Tour event hosted every summer since 2019. The North Course has USGA greens built in 1988. The South Course consists of 17 original Donald Ross push-up greens with XGD drainage. Both courses have Bentgrass/Poa Annua playing surfaces on greens, tees, fairways. Roughs consist of Bluegrass/Ryegrass/Tall Fescue mixes. The North golf course will undergo a full course renovation including new USGA green construction, bunkers, tees, irrigation system, and drainage system starting in July 2025.
