This week’s PGA Tour course is actually parts of two tracks, with the Detroit Golf Club’s North and South courses combining to form 18 holes for the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
The tournament layout starts on No. 8 of the North Course, then plays No. 9 of the North. Players then tackle what is normally No. 1 of the South Course before teeing off on what is normally No. 2 of the North and playing the next five holes in order.
The back nine is the same as usual for the North, playing in order from No. 10 through 18. The combination course will play to a par of 72 at 7,334 yards for the Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Both the North and the South were designed by legendary architect Donald Ross and opened in 1916. The North ranks as No. 14 in Michigan on Golfweek’s Best Private Courses list.
Thanks to yardage books provided by Puttview – the maker of detailed yardage books for more than 30,000 courses around the world – we can see exactly the challenges that players will face this week. Check out each hole below.
Several of the holes will play at different yardages than shown in the yardage maps. The tournament distance is noted in the captions below. The title for each hole first indicates its position in the order on the composite tournament course, and the front nine holes also indicate which hole and on which course it normally is played.
