Detroit (South)

“If there is a better side of Detroit to be on, this isn’t it,” asserted Tom Doak in The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, “but somehow Detroit Golf Club has survived the city’s exodus in stride. The par-68 South course, retouched by Bruce Hepner rather than rebuilt, has most of the coolest features nowadays.”
World Top 100 Golf Courses
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
