The Detroit Golf Club, which the neighborhood surrounds, is a historic institution founded in 1899. The club features two 18-hole courses designed by Donald Ross and a classic clubhouse. Detroit Golf is also conveniently located to the University of Detroit Mercy and Palmer Woods.
The Detroit Golf Club was founded in 1899 by William R. Farrand and several of his friends. Originally the club was limited to 100 members. They rented a 45-acre plot of farmland at 6 Mile and Woodward, and a 6-hole course layout was created. In 1900 the course added 3 holes, making it a 9-hole course. The membership increased to 200 in 1902. At that time 135 acres of land were purchased at 6 Mile and Hamilton, and an 18-hole course was developed. In 1906 the club was formally opened, and membership fees were raised to $250. In 1913 additional property was bought, and Donald Ross was asked to survey the property. Ross determined that two courses of 18 holes could be built on the land. Horace Rackham paid $100,000 for the 36-hole course to be built to the DGC at a cost. In 1916 Albert Kahn started construction on a new clubhouse, which was completed in 1918. The brother of Donald Ross, Alec Ross, became Club Professional, a position he held until 1945, a total of 31 years. In 1922 club membership was increased to 650, and they decided to stay open year-round. In 1929 the Fred Wardell Caddy House was built, at a cost around $40,000. During World War II, Club activities were limited due to gas rationing, and in 1945, Alex Ross retired as Club Professional. Golf star Horton Smith was hired as the Club Pro, and in 1959 was elected to the Professional Golfers Association Hall of Fame. In 1963 Smith died, and Walter Burkemo was hired. The club added new amenities: tennis courts, a cart garage, and a crystal dining room. Burkemo was succeeded by George Bayer. The current club pro is Josh Upson. The club also contains a pool for members and sponsors a swimming team.
