Welcome to Golf Detroit!

Our Logo is Our Mission.

With four facilities, we have something to offer all golfers and golfers-to-be.  Rackham Golf Course is a historic Donald-Ross Classic course conveniently located next to the Detroit Zoo. Chandler Park Golf Course offers a short, friendly course that is perfect for a quick round.  Rouge Park Golf Course is a challenging championship golf course offering a well-conditioned course in an aesthetic setting. At Rouge Park Driving Range, you can both learn and perfect your game taking it to Rouge Park Golf Course.

Golf Detroit is a new venture by  Signet Golf Associates, out of Pinehurst, North Carolina. Signet Golf has been managing courses since its beginnings in 1995.  It has a construction division that not only performs golf course renovations, but also builds new ones from the ground up.  Signet’s President, Peter Dejak, is a noted agronomist who graduated top of his class at Penn State Turf Management and went on to intern at Augusta National.
