Old school Muni
This course just has something special about it. I love the old school Art Deco clubhouse/pro shop. The greens were fast, course was well maintained and I’m looking forward to playing the third and final Detroit municipal course soon!
The greenest course I've seen in months
The course has been kept up during this extended hot and dry stretch. There were very few beat up areas and the greens were great.
Everything they had control over was very good to great.
But it is a a little bit on the expensive side.
$47 to ride, $40 to walk.
I hadn't played there in almost 10 years and it seems to have improved. I'll return gladly.
Overbooked
We had a 3:52 tee time and didn’t actually tee off until 4:32 because it was so overbooked. We even had to wait to get a cart because they were all being used. It took 3+ hours for two of us to play 9 holes, and the course wasn’t in great shape.
Pretty good course right next to the zoo
Greens played tricky at this course but overall fun and some long par 3's.
A Classic Course in Awesome Condition
Greens are truly world class. The course is awesome. Just a little more manicure of fairways and bunker complexes and this becomes a top 5 public course in 75 mile radius!!!
Bad Rating
Bad experience. I booked 2 golfers through Golf Now, then tried to adjust my reservation to 4 golfers. Called Rackham all morning to adjust, but nobody ever answered. When I arrived they rudely bumped my tee time an hour back, did not give me the Golf Now credit / discount, their clubhouse was closed and they did not sell beer. No beer available for purchase to drink in the clubhouse, or on the course... no cart girls. All around bad experience - many better courses around!
Fun Place to Play in Tight Quarters
This course is central to the metro Detroit area and it offers a chance for people from many parts of the region to get together for golf. It is not too long but you still have to make shots to score. It was obvious today that many were coming out of quarantine because golf shots were being sprayed all over the place. The fairways were relatively close so one needed to be on the lookout for errant shots. We had an enjoyable round with some inexperienced golfers but the slow pace of play allowed us to keep up with the group in front of us.
Love Rackham!
What a great historic course Rackham is. Bring your putters A game as greens are large and challenging.
Beautiful course is great location. Saw 3 beautiful deer out there and fairways were good. Donald Ross design is challenging and so much fun. Course in great shape!
Disappointing
Horrible course management here. Tee'd at 950 for our set 920 time. 2 groups deep on every box. When talking with the group ahead, we were told they had the 916 tee time, meaning they booked 4 minutes apart. Took 3.25 hours to play 9 holes. When we informed the ranger he shrugged his shoulders and stated 'you're lucky to be out here, this is why I don't play here.' Course layout was fine and had a nice look, but today will keep me away from Rackham for a while.
Detroit Gem
Grateful to have this terrific course nearby.
Well maintained and friendly staff.
