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.

greens are very good!
I love playing this course! There is a mixed of hard holes and easy holes.
Nice Track
While the clubhouse is dismal and fit for the area surrounding the course, the quality of the grounds is high. It's cool how the river comes into play over and over. The fairways and greens are very well maintained and the layout was well conceived.
Overall a nice experience and a great value. Recommended.
Great greens!
Greens were great. Some flooded areas but that is to be expected with all the rainfall. A classic course that is fun and requires thinking.
This course being in the heart of Detroit was impressive.
I was expecting a lot less as far as a challenging course. Not only did I enjoy the course I became a fan from a players standpoint. Will definitely be returning
Great value for the money, super, super friendly staff!!
Very enjoyable course, GREAT staff, greens ran true and fast but not horribly fast. A gem in the city, easy to find, will definitely will be back to play this course again!!
One of my favorites
This course is very challenging and has been in great condition this summer. You can't beat the price either. I try to play here at least twice a month.
Lots of variety
More par 3 and par 5 holes than a regular course,Rouge gives a lot of opportunities for birdies(and bogies). Some holes are very challenging, but overall the course is fair and fun to play.
Greens in great condition. Rolling true @ about 9 on stimpmeter.
Course in good condition. Lot of different holes. Can use all clubs in your bag. Friendly staff.
Wonderful course Hidden Gem in the City of Detroit
What a beautiful Course. Wonderfully leotard. Wonderful staff and very accommodating. I am impressed and will be returning again.
Great Course with Golfnow Discount - For Sure!
First ones out on a Saturday morning. Course was in really good condition. Greens rolled consistently. The Golfnow discount made for a GREAT value, especially for a weekend tee time. I would strongly suggest this course if you're not too high-falootin' (smile)!
Many challenging holes. Great lay out.
There is a lot of risk/reward on this course. If you can make a solid second shot versus the layup you have great chances for birdies. The greens are large, fast and not to difficult to read.
Best Kept secret in the Detroit area
We love playing here. You cant beat the value. Nice course, well maintained.
The course have a great layout.
I like playing this course because it's have a great layout. Some easy holes and some very challenging holes. I like the friendly staff and the driving range across the street is a great place to practice. Couldn't believe the large bucket of balls for only $12. I was hitting balls for 2 hours.
I really like the layout of the holes.
I think the greens should be a little more maintained. But i like the fairways and the layout of the course, all the holes are different.
This course is good for nice relaxing golf
Love Rouge Park. Played it a few more than 6 times in the last two months and I love it. Course is always clean, fairly well-maintained, the staff is always on-point with golfnow.com tee times, and hole 11 is just downright difficult. I'll be going back many more times next year, and I recommend it to anyone in the area.
