About Rattle Run Golf Club

Rattle Run Golf Club in East China Township, Michigan sits along the St. Clair River corridor in one of Michigan's most scenic and underrated golf regions. The course is highly regarded among Michigan golfers for its exceptional design quality — Rattle Run is considered one of the state's best public courses, featuring a links-influenced style with native grass areas, strategic bunkering, and a design that rewards thoughtful shotmaking over raw power. The St. Clair County location places it within the Blue Water Area, a region known for its maritime character, international freighter traffic on the river, and a golf culture that has quietly produced some excellent courses. The course plays firm and fast in dry summer conditions, and the wind off the St. Clair River corridor adds an atmospheric element to the challenge.

History

Rattle Run Golf Club was designed by architect Lou Powers and opened in the 1970s, quickly earning recognition as one of Michigan's top public layouts. The course's links-influenced character was somewhat ahead of its time for Michigan public golf, and it has maintained its reputation for design quality and conditioning across decades of operation.

Serious Michigan golfers seeking a links-flavored challenge that ranks among the state's finest public layouts at a reasonable price.
