Help Please - Need backup course for Monday in Detroit

[Kenny Lee Puckett]

IF they can get all 36 in on Sunday, I will get to play Oakland Hills South on Mon.   If the weather does not cooperate, The PGA Championship could drip to Monday which scuttles the opportunity.  If so, what's a good backup plan for at least a foursome near the DTW airport?

imo the next best course in Detroit (public or private) is Franklin Hills.  In many ways it is better than Oakland Hills.

Get a Monday ticket to watch the PGA?

Would have a ticket or two to trade...

Is Franklin HIlls Private?

[Brian Cenci]

It is private but if u were to play oakland on monday after the pga I figured getting on another private wouldn't be too hard.  for public try shephard's hollow.

Jim,
Plum Hollow is a very good Alison routing that uses ravines well.
Franklin Hills is an outstanding Ross gem with numerous great holes.

On the public side:  ROUGE  PARK  has strong/charming architecture replete with elevation changes, an uphill 98 yard par 3 , along with some forced carries over a very wide brook that snakes around. Rouge might set you back $30, but the Demographics in this barrio are not at all like Grosse Pointe or Bronxville.   Have fun wherever you play !

Mark,

Can you compare Rouge Park to say, Rogell. Is it in that poor of shape?
