History



In 1924, Horace Rackham purchased acres of land in Huntington Woods, Michigan, near land owned by the Detroit Zoological Society. (Currently this land would be extending from the corner of I-696 and Woodward to I-696 and Scotia Road). Rackham promised to donate the land towards a zoo as long as Detroit voters approved of it. The voters did pass the proposal, and Rackham followed through on his promise and gave 22 acres (8.9 ha) for a parking lot, and the rest for a public golf course to be built. In 1925, the course was complete. Designed by Donald Ross, who also designed the Detroit Golf Club and numerous other courses, created an 18-hole course open to the public. Rackham has also been named one of Donald Ross' ten best public golf courses. It has been the home of Ben Davis, one of the country's first African-American golf pros. Joe Louis, the famous boxer known as the "Brown Bomber", played the course on a regular basis back in his day. The historic original front 9 was closed in October 1983 for major revisions due to the encroachment of I-696 extending through the area. Major changes to the front 9-hole layout were completed about ​2 1⁄2 years later. The 7th & 9th holes are the only two untouched front 9 holes remaining from the original Ross layout.[5]

Course



The course is 18 holes with a Par of 71. A total of 6,555 yards with a course rating is 70.8. There are no water hazards on the entire course. Golf Simulator in the Pro-Shop for the winter months! High Tech Golf Simulator, same as Jordan Spieth uses.

New Students - Meet at the loaction of the Lesson, go through about 15-20min of getting to know one another. Biggest thing I am looking for is a goal we can achieve. Then drive right into the basics. 



I have seen it all, worked with beginners all the way up to Scratch Golfers. 



Stick to one method, one teacher, one goal. Eliminate as many variables as you can. The game is hard enough as it is.
