Lochmoor

It is believed that the Detroit Metropolitan area privileged to be home to courses designed by many "Golden Age" designers, and is able to count Walter Travis among them thanks to his work to the Lochmoor Club. Similar to many clubs (and institutions as a whole), Lochmoor owes its existence to the barons in the automotive industry. Edsel Ford, the son of Henry Ford, was among the first members along with both of the Dodge brothers.

Like automobiles over the last century The course has undergone significant changes. The most significant change came through Larry Packard during the '60s and the decision of the club to take down its Milk River, a body of water that ran through the course, which also required a substantial revision of the original layout. Bunkering has been reconstructed to its original specifications by the new work by Paul Albanese and Chris Lutzke.

Additionally, the club has been notable for its support of and support of the Evans Scholars program, a caddies' scholarship fund The club is the only one in Michigan has more recipients.

A fascinating side note about this club's Golden Age heritage; the Walter Travis Society, and not the club, refers to C.H. Alison's involvement in the early days of the club. Alison was based in Detroit and was said to have assisted Sweeney in resolving drainage issues.
