About

Rouge Park Golf Course is the city of Detroit's hidden gem. The course has been a local favorite since it first opened in 1923. Despite the expansion of Detroit's golf offerings in later years, Rouge Park G.C. is still considered one of the best and most challenging of them all. The tranquil setting boasts an abundance of wildlife including deer, pheasants, and herons, making you completely forget that you're in the city. The golf course was carved from rolling hills, providing tricky contours and dramatically elevated tees. The Rouge River winds through the layout, coming into play on six holes. The difficulty of the course is balanced by the wide, player-friendly fairways. The par-4 11th is considered one of the Detroit metro area's toughest holes. It requires a 280-yard drive in order to clear not just one but two water hazards.

Not good

Pace of play was terrible from the start. We were a twosome and arrived 10 mins before our tee time and 5 mins later the ranger came to us to confirm our tee time after taking several photos of the group in front of us at their tee box knowing they were already getting a late start. He was very short with us, not apologetic or friendly, even though he knew we watched him taking photos. He could have been a little bit more considerate or apologetic for the late start. We never had a Ranger come up to us for the remainder of our 18 holes. We had at least a 5 to 10 minute delay at every single hole. The bathrooms at the clubhouse were gross and very few Porta potty’s on the course. I would not return to this course.

Surprisingly good

Work near the area, pleasantly surprised at how nice the course was compared to everything around it. Little gem on the west side
