  • Detroit, Michigan is often seen as a city on hard times rather than a golfing destination. However, folks from the area know that the Detroit metro area is home to numerous fun and challenging courses. In fact, for a period in the early 90s, no other area was building golf courses as fast as the Motor City. The city is also home to the PGA Tour’s Rocket Mortgage Classic, held at the private Detroit Golf Club, and has been the past home of the Buick Classic. The following are GolfLink’s list of Detroit’s 5 best public course.

  • The story of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail reads a little bit like fiction. It starts in the 1980s with Dr. David Bronner, the CEO of Alabama’s pension fund for state employees. What Bronner wanted was a more diversified portfolio to drive up the pension fund, while simultaneously creating both tourism revenue and turning Alabama into a retirement destination. His solution? Get one of the world’s best golf architects to create a championship caliber golf trail, and that’s exactly what he did with the help of Robert Trent Jones, Sr.
    The Story of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail
  • Golf in the US dates back to at least the colonial era, where records of golf balls and clubs arriving from England and Scotland have been discovered. However, the earliest periods of golf in America were categorized by the lack of standardization, with many early American golfers making their own rudimentary courses through private pasture lands. At the time that British golf was organized and excelling in the mid to late 19th century, most golf courses remained in a narrow band of New England and the Mid-Atlantic regions of the US. It took until the 1890s for golf to venture West. And it's a good thing it did as the Midwest’s own Chicago Golf Club that holds the record for America’s first 18 hole course and was integral to the standardization of the game in America.
