Great municipal course

Don't be fooled by this being a City municipal course it's more than a handful. I am a 4 handicap who often has trouble breaking 80 at this course.

Best Value for your money in the Detroit Area

For $34 on a Sunday morning, you will not find a better golf course for your money. Elevation changes (for Detroit), a Donald Ross course, and fantastic playing conditions. No range on Site but across the street.

Couple tee boxes are in need of replacement but other than that I found nothing wrong with this course.

Decent change of pace

Staff was very friendly. Price was reasonable. Beware: There are a few holes that are tricked up (sharp blind doglegs that run very close to other holes). Other than those 3 or 4 holes, the course was in decent shape, had variation, and presented a fair challenge. A decent change of pace from the northern Oakland county courses we usually play. Planes flying by periodically -- nothing too loud or distracting

Fun course, BEST BURGERS EVER !

This place has it right with the cook and his outdoor grill station making your hotdogs and burgers in realtime! The burgers were awesome. 5star for food! The course was maintained and greens rolled nicely. You can tell they do their best to care for it. The layout of a bit odd and the morning tee time didn't get us out until about 15min late, pace (as expected) was a bit slow because we had some real hacks in front of us who seemed to enjoy hooking into the trees a lot and spending too much time hunting for it.. But this is about the course and playability/conditions. I give them a Solid 3 star for overall. They def care for this old Detroit relic. Fun time for sure. It was a great morning, even with the 4.5hr round. I'd go back for a late day got deal to bang around out there. Plays quite friendly, should t be any reason not to walk away with 85-90 if you're typically a 17-20 hdcp I'd say

Great golf for a even better price

Can't say enough about the experience here. Course was fun and challenging on certain holes. Course was is good shape for so early in the season.

Pace of play was non issue.

Staff was great!

Interesting and quite challenging

Although there are spotty areas on some fairways, the course is in mostly good condition, and the greens are in good shape with lots of contours on several. Local knowledge helps a great deal since there are several blind shots, and it isn't always obvious where the hole is located until you get closer. Holes that cross the river can be especially challenging unless you're a long hitter as occasionally it's wiser to lay up. Most of the par 5s are uninspired, but some of the par 4s and 3s make up for that, with good variety. Overall, it's a pleasant experience with helpful staff and plenty of challenge from most golfers, depending on which tees you choose. Many tee boxes could use some work, however.

Rouge Park is the best of Detroit

This is a very fun course to play. It has a plenty of very challenging, very fun holes. Hole 8 is a great par 3 100 feet above the tee and 12 will give you quite a challenge. Most of the fairways are wide enough to allow you to miss a shot or two and still keep a decent score.
The course is in good condition. Greens are well maintained as well as the fairways. The tee boxes need a little help and need to be leveled. Rouge Park is the best course in Detroit without question and there is a driving range across the street to get a little practice in before you tee off.
I would also recommend their hamburgers.

Hidden Gem

The location of the course is a little offsetting. Once your on the course, you wouldn't believe your in the same area. Beautiful course, and well maintained. I loved the adversity of holes. Straight fairways, doglegs, raised greens, downhill shots, 3,4, and 5 pars. Not to mention lots of wildlife and scenic holes. Truly enjoyed 18 for a buck a hole booked on GN. Friendly staff even told me to play another 9 when i finished free of charge due to some rain, and not many customers on that day.

Good Course near downtown

I was surprise why I did not play at this course, this is very near to Detroit downtown and somehow I did not notice. It was well maintained and the course offers a moderate difficulty. I played 18 holes alone. Some of the holes are challenging and the fairways are well maintained. Greens are positive and I enjoyed playing this course. I would recommend to my friends and wish to play here again.

Great bones, poor execution

The fact they close 9 holes for some league may be the issue with the pace of play but they were letting singles both in cart and walking out with 4 somes. Obviously that does not work. Took me 3 hours to play 9. Course is in very average condition but acceptable. Sprinkles came on while I was on the green on 3 holes. I don't think I'm the clientele that is being catered too, so I must put the disclaimer that my review is from my perspective which may be biased.

Geat Donald Ross Design

Tight fairways, lots of mature trees, a track that requires target golf. Not much room for errors except on a few holes. A diamond in the middle of Detroit.

Great Value

Grew up playing this course as a kid and always liked the layout, but felt it had come under disrepair over the years. Was pleasantly surprised to find the course is very good condition. Number 11 still one of the toughest holes I have ever played. Will be back.

Not that Great

I booked a tee time at this course because it's only 10 miles from my house and it had 4 stars. Im not that picky when it comes to courses but this one is falling apart and so is the area that surrounds this course. The club house was a little shack that was close to collapsing. The greens were horribly slow compared to most courses. The layout of this course in general was pretty poor as well and mosquitoes were biting uncontrollably. I think im being quite generous giving this place 2 stars. For $18 i can find hot deals on GolfNow for a much better value.
