I booked 18 holes, but when we got there, wa told could only play 9 holes
Great time
Was great to get out for the first time this year. Perfect spring day. Nice course. Could tell they are working on some stuff for the full swing season to get going.
Enjoy the course and cool being able to see animals from the Detroit zoo!
A Classic
Great layout.
Great price.
Very slows players all over the course but that's what happens on a 60 degree day late in November in Michigan. All the horrible players were out there for a last hurrah.
Nothing anyone could do about it.
SUNDAY AFTERNOON ROUND
We got behind some slow players to begin. They need a Ranger to police this. Yet the Ranger would not let the group behind us play a fivesome even though they were keeping up. Slow players must be reminded to keep up with group ahead.
Good Deal
Got a great deal on price. Course was busy but pace of play and golfers were great!
Disgrace to treat a Donald Ross Course
First time playing this course and I was absolutely astonished on the condition of the golf course. I love Donald Ross golf courses and the disrespect that the management group of this golf course has done to a Donald Ross course is beyond belief. The green speed of about 7 and condition for Ross greens was something I have never experienced playing a Ross course. The condition of the fairways and the rough was nothing more than complete neglect. Course layout was great.
I Love Donald Ross-Designed Courses
Great course I've played for over 40 years. Today's round was only marred by two groups ahead who held up everyone. Where are the marshals? Round took an extra hour.
Enjoyed playing the Donald Ross design...shot 78...and it's a great value through GolfNow!
Good local course
Living in the Royal Oak area, I don't have the greatest public golfing options in the immediate vicinity. Detroit courses are all falling apart and the good courses in Rochester and Oxford are a hike. Luckily, Rackham is right in our backyard. Don't come here expecting anything amazing, but if you are looking for an affordable round of golf on a well groomed track, then Rackham is a good bet.
Wonderful Donald Ross Course Need a Little TLC
Rackham Golf Course is a classic Donald Ross Course right by the Zoo & I-696. At $22.95 it's a pretty good deal. The is a typical Donald Ross design with the the holes right in front of you and without much trickery. The greens are less undulated than other Ross Courses which makes it more playable. A few more doglegs than usual, but that's probably dictated by the land. The course needs a little TLC as there's a few crab grass in the fairways, but the greens are in good shape, bunkers OK. From the back tees, a few long Par 3's. All in all, fun to play.
Very dried out but nice layout
Course definitely needs more irrigation, they made the attempt to water but during play and was kinda tough to putt with the sprinkler on. Greens were extremely slow like molasses. I liked the lay out but was very dry and rock hard.
City course
Playing was fun and challenging. A bit slow on front nine but got through in 4 hours. I like this course
Good Experience
The course was in fair condition. I have played Rackham on several other occasions. On prior rounds the course has varied from poorly maintained to very well maintained. This round was better than the last time, a couple years ago, as far as course maintenance.
The biggest complaint would be the slow greens; must have been about a 5 on the stint meter. Quite slow!
