Rouge Park Golf Course

From your drive into the course, you certainly wouldn’t expect to find such a great course. This course has an incredible staff that is friendly, helpful and accommodating. The course is very well kept and the grounds crew is very polite when you are getting ready to hit.

I grew up in the area and Rouge was the first course I played, 40 years later it's a course I still play regularly. I course itself is generally in great shape. Great variety of holes, river crossings and elevation changes. Very fair rates. Small Donald Ross greens, you easily short side your shots.

Been through some difficult and management changes over the years I suspect. Small photographically old club house circa 1920,s. Course could be fantastic with newer amenities and facilities i.e. Restrooms, cart path improvements, new wood fencing along holes and improved hole signage. Bunkers could use alittle more sand. Nevertheless I'll be back!

Course in good shape for a municipal course. Bunkers lacking sand. Very courteous staff. No rangers to help keep pace of play. Course has lots of blind shots and left turning holes. No beverage carts and water coolers are spread far between holes. Would recommend play on a week day if you get a hot deal.

A few upgrades could be made on the cart paths, bunkers & tee boxes but otherwise it's in great shape.

Although this course is very playable there are a few holes that have you wondering where to hit your tee shot. Completely blind shots require your need to play here more than once to figure out the layout. Number 9 is uphill that flattens out on top so no idea were landing area is. Also low ball hitters will never clear the hazard in front of them on this hole. 8 is a blind green on a par three were all that was visible was the top of the flag. The course was in good shape for city with limited funds. Hackers, Bring lots of balls!

Pretty nice course.. just not so organized.. people playing whichever hole they like in no order..tee time was at 330.. played the front nine nice and smooth.. then the back 9 there was a league of 60 to jump in. got congested in the evening. But if that wasn't the case it would have been great.. the course itself is nice and challenging.

l love the course, had a great deal of fun think how I was going to play the different holes, Putting on the sloped greens was great. The traps needed to be work-up but you could still play out of them; most courses in the area you can not play out of.

While I enjoyed the course's natural aesthetics it also caused me to lose several balls in that natural forestry.

Fun course, friendly and helpful staff. A few easier holes and a few harder ones. Some short part 4's, so it does slow down a bit on the last few holes.

The "Rouge" is a delight to play. The Rouge River meanders through the course layout providing anything but an inner city experience. Magestic Old trees, elevation changes, abundant water hazards, sand bunkers, tree lined fairways, and heather lined fairways provide for a challenging and interesting layout. I've seen deer, fox and coyote on the course over the couple seasons I've played there. In general the course is always in very playable condition. The personable and friendly course management team does a good job with the resources they have. I would hope for some improvements to cart paths and tee boxes in the relatively near future as they are beginning to show their age.

I highly recommend you play the Rouge Park Golf Course!

This was a fun course to play on. I had to cut my round short on hole 16 when the torrential rain started, but was having a great time. There are lots of challenging holes and interesting layouts. Most courses I've found in Metro Detroit are all flat, devoid of trees and the holes are on top of each other--not to mention commanding a PREMIUM price because of their location. While this course has parallel holes, they really weren't small and lacking personal space. The elevation changes are great and they use them in ways I've never seen courses use them before. And there are woods! In Detroit! I even saw a deer!

The carts, clubhouse and all the amenities are perfectly fine. Your more uppity golfers would probably automatically give a low score to this course because it's not brand-spanking new and they're not offering super fancy things you'll find in the outer ring suburbs. It's a great course for your blue collar golfer and let's be honest--if you're not going to entertain the idea of golfing at a course in Detroit, the rest of this stuff isn't going to matter. I'm looking forward to going back!

I've played here 4 times already this year, and would go at any given opportunity. The course atmosphere has been relaxing as well as welcoming staff.

Course layout makes for some pretty fun, interesting holes. Holes with water hazards are tough a lot of the time leaving you to decide on risk/reward options.

All in all this course is great for the price ($32 for 2 people), plays long, scenic, somewhat forgiving for a determined beginner, challenging for experienced golfers.

I'll continue to play here for a long, long time.

In my opinion it's a must play if you live in southeast Michigan, you wont be disappointed!

Excellent, I was able to book and then make a change to my scheduled time. Great thank you.

I haven't played this course in 30 years. It's about time I came back since I forgot almost every hole. I love this course and all courses built in the 1920's.
