We are so happy to return the library to its original beauty and are so blessed for our member who honored their grandfather by helping us do it. Furniture is antique and reproductions. Much of the artwork is original. We are so blessed for this most generous gift.

DGC has one of the largest caddie programs in the area with 2 current Evans Scholars.
Caddies were introduced at DGC in the 20’s and 30’s and established what has become a long-standing tradition of playing golf the way it was meant to be played at Detroit Golf Club.

Our Executive Chef, Darnell Richardson, on his way into the Clubhouse early this morning to make big things happen.
He is working 20+ hour days right now along with many of our team members, making sure this event is 1st class.
THANK YOU to Chef Darnell and his culinary crew.
History runs deep at Detroit Golf Club. This tree was bent as a sapling by Native Americans to use as a marker for the original Indian Trail between Detroit and Pontiac.
Today it still stands and is a reminder of the rich history that surrounds our Club.

When he isn't carefully manicuring our 36-hole Donald Ross Golf Courses, he's busy landscaping and planting. Our Greens Superintendent Jake Mendoza is a jack of all trades at DGC. This past week he planted over 100 boxwood bushes.
