Rackham Golf Course
publicRackham Golf Course in Huntington Woods is one of Metro Detroit's most historically significant municipal courses, operated by the City of Detroit and designed by the legendary Donald Ross. Situated in the leafy inner suburb of Huntington Woods — one of Detroit's most walkable and prosperous satellite communities — Rackham occupies land that was gifted to the city and has hosted public golfers since the late 1920s. The Ross design features his signature crowned greens, subtle undulations, and fairways that appear generous off the tee but become increasingly demanding as you approach the putting surface. The course winds through mature oak trees that Ross-era courses are celebrated for, creating a parkland experience of genuine historic pedigree. Rackham is a bucket-list round for Michigan golf history enthusiasts and offers outstanding value for a genuine Ross design.
Rackham Golf Course opened in 1924, designed by Donald Ross and made possible through a gift to the City of Detroit from Horace and Mary Rackham. The Rackhams were major philanthropists whose gifts also funded the Rackham Building at the University of Michigan. The course has operated as a public facility for nearly 100 years and remains one of the most accessible Donald Ross designs in the Midwest.
