Detroit Golf Club: North

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. Immediately following the 2025 Rocket Classic, the club embarked on another massive renovation, for a reported $16 million, led by Tyler Rae's team to lean into bringing back strategic elements of Ross' design. 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. The results of Rae's work will be seen on the North course when it reopens ahead of the 2026 Rocket Classic, and the South course will come next.
