Rackham Golf Course

Do not play this course if you are concerned about health in the pandemic. Despite making a tee time there was a massive line of golfers (probably 50-60) at the first tee. We were told that they were running 50 mins behind on tee times, which after discussing with others in line must have been to the course scheduling tee times only 2-3 minutes apart. Starters said they couldn’t do anything to help, saying it was all managements fault for overbooking the course. I finally convinced a starter to let our group go off the back nine, but it was still a nearly 6 hour round. I don’t understand how not enforcing tee time punctuality and allowing that many people to congregate is reflective of the social distancing regulations.

So easy Very widely General area,
But winding green and difficult pin layout today.
It’s unbalanced.

But I like this course.

Great simple course located in Huntington Woods. Too early in the season to give green condition report, but well worth the money to play in omen of the Donald Ross designed course Inn Detroit at very reasonable price!!
Staff was friendly and courteous. No starter to Ben found on the day I played but no problem amongst friendly players here!!

I have played this course a few times, it’s fun and not to crowded in the mornings. I had 18 holes reserved on GolfNow and paid beforehand but They only allowed me to play nine and they said they credited my card but they have not. No real complaints other than that. The greens were a bit sandy and slow but fairways and tee boxes in good conditions.

Played as a single today, greens were great and I flew around that place!!

Pin positions felt much more like a Sunday tournament trying to crush us. Slowed play a little otherwise the course was great.

I’d certainly play again. I certainly enjoyed myself and there was some healthy difficulties.

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.

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!!!

Great community based course, it’s quiet but you can sometimes hear the zoo animals which I think is awesome! Staff is very friendly!

I was lectured by the older woman who obviously runs this place that her health and the staffs health is my responsibility. I was told I had to have a mask to pay my green fees. I do not have a mask on the golf course. I explained to her that I bought my teetimes off of Golfnow and we were wasting time arguing about masks when I could’ve already been out of there. She then tried to berate me by telling me that I should care about her staffs health. I then pointed out that the girl behind the counter taking my money had a mask that was not covering her nose. I told her if she’s going to lecture me about not wearing a mask she should lecture her staff about not properly wearing one either. She then told me how she treats her staff is her business. I replied by telling her how she treats her customers is my business.

Was a nice sunny day. Course was well maintained. Certain holes did have a lot of ground under repairs which is to be expected this late in the season. The fairways and greens were well kept.
