Winter golf in Michigan
You can always count on Rackham to open up for golf in the winter if the weather permits. On December 28th only a few courses were available and Rackham was in pretty good shape all things considered!
Staff was friendly as always and on the ball.
Love Rackham
What a great historic Donald Ross course! Location next to Zoo is perfect and what a layout!
Love Rackhams large greens. If you can putt well there you can putt anywhere
Historic venue
This course is always fun and fair but busy
Good value though
Another Great Round!
I played my second round at this course. The course is in really good condition. The pace of play was a little bit. Slow and the ranger could’ve been moving people along better but all in all we still had a great round and really enjoyed our time out there. Will definitely be back.
Terrible staff
Why even book a tee time when the starters not gonna honor it. Booked 3pm tee time, check in at 2:45, get in line to tee off. Starter comes over and tells me I can’t tee off until 3:26 “cause my group already teed off” mind you the 2:44 tee time was on the box(I checked in directly behind them) waiting to tee off. do not recommend unless you want 6 hour rounds and slightly above decent conditions. Place has really gone down hill fast in last 3 years, sad sad sight.
Love Rackham
Greenskeeper doing a great job on this historical course. Greens rolling well and even after extreme rain and then drought they are doing a good job.
Love the location and staff very friendly. A little trivia: This was Joe Louis’ home course in the 40s ❤️
Didn’t play
We didn’t end up playing due to my wife not being able to get out of work and I used all my golf pass points for a tee time we never played :(
Decent course
Decent coarse. Could use some better attention to the tee boxes from divots
The greens were real slow and sandy
Best of Battle Creek Package
