In Response To: Golfers? (Coolrey)

Rackham Golf Course, on 10 mile rd just west of Woodward Ave and the Detroit Zoo is a City of Detroit Public Course. Here's some info.

Rackham Golf Course Description: Rackham Golf Course was designed by legendary golf course architect Donald Ross, whose designs include Pinehurst #2, Inverness Club, and Oakland Hills. The course features 18 well maintained holes and a par of 71. A notable Donald Ross trademark is the well contoured greens. These greens are well protected by numerous bunkers, which are being renovated in the spring of 2007. Yardage from the back tees is 6,555, middle tees is 6,253 and from the forward tees is 5,413. Senior rates are available for guests age 55 and older. Junior rates are available for guests age 17 and under.

One review says it gets fairly crowded, I only played it once and it was fine. Interesting fact is no water holes on the course, Ross had other types of bunkers and hazards that could be just as penalizing.

If I drive to a tournament, I either have to bring clothes and my board, or my golf clubs, cuz they're aint room for both in the trunk of my miata.
