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.

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
good time
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.
Always plays well
This was the first time I played the course this year. It’s nice to see the updates and upgrades being made to the course. New bridges and posts look nice. The course was in great condition.
Work to do
Look, they’re trying. The course is getting some upgrades (draining, sprinkler system fixes, recovered the greens from a bad winter a couple seasons ago, new bridges) and it’s all needed. However, there’s little excuse for the fairways not being mowed down (it was tough to tell where there was rough and fairway as they were identical in areas). The tee boxes were awful. There’s no excuse to not move the tees around and seed the areas that have been worn (and not move the tees back until the grass has grown back). The greens needed to be rolled and/or mowed. All that said, Rouge is still a challenging layout. It’s a very affordable round of golf and the pace is about 4 hrs. You’ll have fun.
Rouge park
Nice tough courses i love it lots of Par 5's and tall rough grass makes you bring your A game good price too
Go another 5 miles to play better courses at same fee
Course is in terrible shape. Pace of play was awful, waited 10 minutes at least after every shot. They over book. Ended up leaving after 6 holes and didn’t even try to get a rain check.
