A Guide To Detroits Golf Courses Driving Ranges

You don’t have to travel far from the city of Detroit to find some great golfing experiences, with a number of historic courses and clubs offering a challenge to players of all levels. Here is just a selection of Metro Detroit’s best courses and ranges.

1. Belle Isle Golf Range

One of few options to hit some balls without leaving the city, Belle Isle’s seasonal golf range is a great place to refine your game.

5. Detroit Golf Club

Detroit Golf Club is one of the most historic private clubs in the area, being founded in 1899 and featuring a clubhouse designed by the “architect of Detroit” Albert Kahn in 1916. Its two challenging courses feature 36 holes designed by legendary Scottish golf architect Donald Ross. Membership is by invitation only, unless you’re the Mayor of Detroit.

6. Rackham Golf Course

If you’re looking for a Donald Ross golfing experience but are not a member at Detroit Golf Club, then head north to Huntington Woods’s Rackham Golf Course. Ross designed it in 1925, and it’s considered one of his best public golf courses. It was also a favorite of Detroit legend and keen golfer Joe Louis.

7. Warren Valley Golf Course

Park

That man again, Donald Ross, was responsible for creating Warren Valley’s 36-hole course in Dearborn Heights in 1922. Split into the par-71 West course and the par-72 East, like at nearby Rouge Park, the Rouge River comes into play on seven of the holes of the West course and four on the East course.
