A groundbreaking ceremony was held earlier this week to kick off a multi-million dollar restoration of Detroit Golf Club’s North Course. Work began this week following the conclusion of the 2025 Rocket Classic and is expected to be completed in time for next year’s Rocket Classic, scheduled for July 27-August 2, 2026.
The club is executing a $16 million investment to reshape and rebuild greens, modernize irrigation systems, and update everything else from tee boxes to bunkers to the layout of the trees. It shared a rendering that shows what the course will look like once all that work is completed.
