Overview
Donald Ross designed two 18-hole courses at Detroit Golf Club on a tight plot of land in the middle of the city. An extensive renovation project was completed by Bruce Hepner in 2015 to restore the greens and bunkers. Most holes are framed by trees and are mostly up and back on flat land, though subtle rumbles in the land provide enough movement to offer strategic value and demanding shotmaking into these Ross greens, which average 5,150 square feet.

Review
“Detroit Golf Club North is hole after hole that is simply straight with tree lined fairways, with the typical Ross false fronts on some of the greens. The conditioning is good, and the greens held shots very well. But, it is a very mundane Ross design. Ross essentially phoned this design in. A decent place to play, but Oakland Hills is far superior and should be the place to go if visiting Detroit."
