Great place
Nice course. Nice day. Had a great time. You should play here.
Great Course old facilities
Rackham is open and flat but is challenging nonetheless. Facilities are old and not many amenities. Rate of play is good.
Great course for the right price
Being from the Royal Oak area, I've played this course countless times. It has a very good overall set-up and is located very conveniently if you don't want to dive 45 minutes for a more scenic course.
It has a nice open set-up and is forgiving to any player who has a tendency to slice or hook off the tee from time to time. They keep it in good shape, although I did notice that the fairways had some issues during this latest round.
It's a great course for $35-40 dollars, but I wouldn't pay more than that unless I was in a pinch.
Great Public course
Love the clubhouse, beautiful course! Nice city course, but a little expensive. Course food, No alcohol.
Nice course, but always overbooked.
This is the closest course to my house. I play here 5-6 times a year. The course is in decent shape. The greens are very challenging. My only problem is that lately it seems the course is always overbooked. My last 3 outings here we couldn't get close to playing 18 holes in 4 1/2 hours. Always 1-2 groups ahead of us waiting on every hole. If you have about 6 hours to kill and don't mind waiting have at it...Otherwise it's just an exercise in frustration.
No water hazards but lots of standing water.
Happened to play an early morning round after a deluge the night before. Beautiful treasure hidden by the Detroit zoo, too bad the water was everywhere. Good layout, a couple of shorter par fours challenging a big hitter to go for it, lotsa fun from the back tees. Superb greens, awesome clubhouse. I look forward to playing again when its dried out a bit.
great course
Booked on golfnow for $22. Course in excellent shape. 3 1/3 hours to play 18. No backlogs. Greta deal and a beautiful Donald Ross course. Requires skill and straight shots. We'll be back.
Not worth the time
Course was not in good shape at all. When putting on the greens your ball may run into some weeds or other things growing from no where. 2 of us played and it took 5 hours. We played other courses together and finished in 3 hours for 18 holes. 3 different groups in front of us had 5 players and we seen other groups on the course with 5. We only paid 25 bucks cause of an online deal. I would never pay 49 to play at this course. I wont be going back anytime soon.
challenging and fun
This course is fun and provides enough of a challenge to keep you on your toes. LONG par 3's and 4's. And set-up's that reward good shots and still give you a chance at par on mis hit drives. Lower prices through this site is a double bonus.
OK course, no water (fine by me)
The only way I'd play this course is from golfnow. $49 regular rate weekends is outrageous and def not worth it. Pace can be a little slow and rangers are pretty much non-existent.
Great value
Course in good shape... Less than 4 hours to play, what a bonus !!!!
Great layout
Course is in good shape, fairways were nice, bunkers were not raked but if you scratch the sand you're alright. The placement of the pins on this course is just unfair. Sprinkler heads can be found on some greens but they are in good condition.
Pace of play was under 3 hours for 18 (if youre early enough) Always seem to be singles waiting for a group on the 1st tee.
Don't hook your tee shot in 15 or you'll end up in the Giraffe Paddock at the Zoo!
Unhappy customer
Left a nice pair of sunglasses in the cart after my round and called back with my cart number and description of them and they are no where to be found...I will never go back...golf is a gentlemens game and theifs don't belong playing...
average at best
Not bad by any means but the play time was super slow. Waited 5 min to tee off at every hole. Overall course was pretty good. FLAG placement was way too hard for the first time out near impossible to shoot par.
Classic
A historic and challenging course. Very much undisturbed Donald Ross design. Small greens. Should be easy. Not.
Pace of play not good during peak but in off hours it's great
Decent practice facility
bad greens
high priced for this time of year and condition of greens
Great course, highly recommended
Rambler has some of the thickest rough I have ever seen, very challenging. Well maintained
It's nothing special, but it's a golf course.
I played the first time at Rackham in an attempt to meet a friend halfway between our houses. The course is a little on the boring side. The rough was long and not very well maintained. You really had to search for your ball. There is no water on the course. I would not pay more than $15 or so to play here and would choose another course over it if I had another option.
