Rackham Golf Course

I made a reservation for November 24 at 10:52 and went to the golf course, but it was closed. Please issue a refund.

The course was in good condition even though there were many leaves falling. The course is has wide f as or ways bit the mushroom greens are tricky to hit. It is a fun course.

A beautiful, well manicured public golf course that offers all golfers a great experience. I love this course!

Rackham Golf Course was designed by legendary golf course architect Donald Ross, whose designs include Pinehurst #2, Inverness Club, and Oakland Hills. Rackham provides a challenging golf course for golfers of any level. The course has been named one of Donald Ross’ ten best public golf courses. It has been the home to 2 U.S Amateur Pub Links Championships and rated one of the Top 10 municipal golf courses in Michigan.

For those of you who are tournament players, every year, they hold a tournament called the Ben Davis classic to honor the great Ben Davis! It's an awesome tournament and I highly suggest competitive golfers to sign up and play in this amateur tournament at Rackham golf club.

Course is in great shape. Lost my range finder, staff not super helpful but that’s on me.

The Greens! Fast , large, slopes galore!

If you can putt at Rackham you can putt anywhere

The history and layout are great! Joe Louis’ course

Love Rackham!

Loved the layout. A good course to be challenged by and still not lose your mind or golf balls. Excellent course for the price

Overall course was not bad, fairly easy to stay out of trouble regardless of which side of the fairway you favor. The course itself is fairly flat from teebox to green. But don’t let that fool you the greens are tough with lots of movement. They did solve the drainage problem that I had seen in previous reviews.

The thing to be weary of is time. They do not enforce pace of play. If you are trying to make a quick round of golf this course will likely not support that unless you’re the first one off the blocks. The group we were stuck behind were painstakingly slow. The marshals are out on the course but not once did they talk to the group about their speed or lack of speed. Even after seeing our foursome stand on multiple tee boxes for twenty minutes waiting to take tee shots. Now if you don’t care about it taking 5.5 hours to play 18 holes then this does not apply.

The only other thing that bothered me was the greens keeping, while the greens were green and clearly taken care of, every single green had so much cut grass on it you had to pick clean and place your ball after every shot just because of how many clippings would cling to your ball. But if you don’t mind doing that it’s a non issue as well.

Overall, for its location and ease to get to from the metro Detroit area and the price I would play again. I would recommend either playing earlier than 8:00 if pace of play is something that concerns you. The course hotdogs were also good and a pleasant surprise at the turn!
