Fun course to play
Great course! Back nine is a bit tougher because a couple of holes are uphill. Greens were fast, but it was very hot (95 degrees). Staff was friendly and pace of play was good.
Bring your patience
Overall, I really enjoyed this course. My complaints for the day had nothing to do with the course itself. I had a shoe malfunction on me, I finished my found barefoot.
The front 9 are much more challenging; shorter and more tactical holes will have you roasting through every club in the bag.
The back 9 runs a little longer and let's you swing a little more freely!
I tried off at 6:40... Finished around 11:15. Could've been a little quicker pace of play. But all in all, a very enjoyable experience!!
All Nice
Fairways, Greens, and flat tee boxes were in very nice condition!!!
Resurrection of Rackham
Played here 10 times this season very quick pace play ( weekday morning) maintenance is always working on the course - great condition. Only downside people are not not repairing their ball marks
Play this course ( please not on a weekday morning)
Major Improvements
New carts to start with. Greens were in good shape. Traps were cared for. Staff friendly and helpful. Nice day- it was busy so play was a bit slow. I will go back.
Long brutal afternoon
I booked the 130 tee time on golf now.. arrived 15 minutes early and the ranger said she would get me out in a few minutes.. im still waiting around the putting green at 2pm and asked again when I was teeing off.. The ranger totally forgot about me and finally paired me up with a group but at 225.. I was at the course from 130- 6pm and got to play 12 holes and left after paying for 18.. Course wasn't bad and the guys I got paired up with were fun to play with.. The pace of play was horrendous though.. found myself waiting 10 minutes between shots on a regular basis.. i would only recommend playing if you show up with a foursome and plan on spending 6+ hours on the course
Great course!
Great Donald Ross Course. Greens are large and undulated , beautiful.
Can’t beat the location next to Detroit Zoo and the staff is great!
Miserably slow
3+ hours for 9 holes. 4 different groups waiting on multiple tee boxes.
HIDDEN GEM
We played this course because it was close to our AirBNB and we could play before an evening event. I lucked out with a great Hot Deal. The facility itself is tired but charming. An old brick building, lots of brick walkways, big door and screen door to get into an"open concept" Pro Shop, grill, snack bar. Bathrooms were pretty disgusting. My husband agreed. Starter/outdoor staff, very friendly. The course looks simple, plays pretty tough and in fairly good shape for a public course in early June. Greens were fast and undulating. We would definitely play this course again.
