Rocket Mortgage Classic host Detroit Golf Club to undergo major renovation for the first time in over 100 years

The 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic came to an end with Cameron Davis standing tall to win the tournament. After the end of four rounds at the Detroit Golf Club, Davis scored 2-under to beat Akshay Bhatia, who finished tied for second place and was a favorite to win ahead of Round 4 on Sunday.

While the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic came to an end, an interesting development about the Detroit Golf Club has come to light. After next year's edition of the Rocket Mortgage Classic concludes, the Detroit Golf Club will undergo major renovation for the first time in 100 years.

Famous golf architect Tyler Rae, who has designed and constructed several golf courses throughout his career, will oversee the renovation of the Detroit Golf Club. The club's President, Michael Pricer claimed that the course will look completely different when the Rocket Mortgage Classic is played in 2026.

Pricer also emphasized the renovation would be done in the light of maintaining the 'legacy' of the Golf club and said (via Golf Week):

“We’re trying to get it back to the original Ross design. So keeping with the legacy and the history of the club, and really honoring the heritage, that you know Donald Ross has created. And we believe that this will be a top-100 course when we’re done.”

Pricer also added that the renovated course might look a lot like Pinehurst. Under the supervision of Tyler Rae, the Detroit Golf Club will witness the removal of 100 trees, the addition of native ditches, grasses, and bunkers, as well as the moving of the greens.
