About Detroit Golf Club

Detroit Golf Club is a private club founded in 1899, with roots running through both the traditions of the game and the history of the city itself. Its clubhouse, designed by architect Albert Kahn in 1916, remains the social center of the property and hosts members, families and guests amid a range of activities for all ages.

The golf courses trace their design to Donald Ross. The club has undertaken a Front 9 Master Plan, a restoration intended to return the holes closer to Ross's original routing and features while addressing playability and sustainability.
