Red Run at Red Run Golf Club

Red Run Golf Club, an enduring testament to early 20th-century golf course design, sits discreetly north of Detroit, a sanctuary from the city's bustle. Its gently rolling parkland terrain, punctuated by mature trees and subtle elevation changes, delivers a classic, unpretentious playing experience. While it doesn't stretch to modern championship lengths, Red Run demands strategic thinking and precise execution. Fairways are generous but favor a controlled draw, while the well-bunkered greens place a premium on accurate approach shots.

Designed in the Golden Age by the esteemed architect, Hugh Alison and updated by Keith Foster, the course blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. It has not hosted major professional championships, but it remains a fixture of competitive amateur golf in the region. It is known as a great course for tournament play.

Red Run maintains a reputation as a respected, if understated, venue among golfers in the Great Lakes region. The membership, drawn largely from Detroit's professional and business circles, treasures the club's commitment to traditional values and camaraderie. The atmosphere around the clubhouse is known to be affable and a place where great competition brews.
