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.

Under construction in 2020
It should be noted that this course has a massive irrigation project underway. The signature 11th hole has a temp green in the middle of the fairway and the tee boxes for one of the holes on the front is completely closed. I am glad they are upgrading but I will avoid it for a bit. It is still very inexpensive, and a great course to gain experience.
Great pace
Lots of work and upgrades being done. This should improve the overall quality of the course.
Bad conditions now
Today’s condition of course is so bad due to much rain in this week.it will be recovered a few week after.
MUST TRY
Don’t mind the scenery coming into the rouge as the course itself has a great series of holes (numbered wrong but easy to follow) even an interesting adventure in the carts! $8 for 18 compared to all local courses charging $15. Several long par 5s, couple dog legs with large waters to cross, and some cool par 3s that involve some challenging shots. All in all will be golfing again forsure
Nice course
Have a great time, course is in good shape. Some of the tee boxes are new and all are improved from last year. Course was very busy but played 18 in 4.5 hours.
Nice deal
Very good course for the money better-than-expected

There was a lot of working being done on the course. We still had good time!!!!!!!
great day
The course lay=out is greatly; I love playing there. Tee boxes needed work but it was great day for my wife and I.
