Rocket Mortgage Classic 2024: How much does it cost to play at Detroit Golf Club?
There is no Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy or Tiger Woods at the Rocket Mortgage Classic 2024, yet there will undoubtedly be other stories to be told in this week’s PGA Tour event, which sees 15-year-old Miles Russell make his debut at Detroit Golf Club.
What was once a six-hole course when it was founded in 1899, DGC now has 36 holes of championship Golf, split between the North Course and South Course. The course was designed by Donald Ross, whose brother, Alec, was the winner of the 1907 US Open.
The Rocket Mortgage Classic has been played at Detroit Golf Club since 2019, when the event replaced the Quickens Loans National on the schedule. The tournament became the first in the history of the PGA Tour to be played entirely within the Detroit City limits.
Privately-owned golf club
The club is privately-owned, meaning only members or acquaintances of members have the opportunity to play the North and South Courses.
How much does it cost to become a member of Detroit Golf Club?
Detroit Golf Club offers different membership types, including Class A, Junior, Intermediate, House, Non-Resident, and Corporate.
Class A is the most common membership for golfers, which offers members full golfing privileges. If accepted, the initiation fee is $18,500, although there have been reports the club is set to increase that figure by up to 15% as part of an overhaul of its courses after this year’s Rocket Mortgage Classic.
There are also monthly dues, which aren’t made available to the public. Country Club Magazine estimates them to be about $220.
Non-members can play Detroit Golf Club, but only as guests of a member.
When is the Rocket Mortgage Classic 2024?
The 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic takes place at Detroit Golf Club, Detroit, Michigan from Thursday-Sunday (27-30 June).
What is the prize purse at the Rocket Mortgage Classic 2024?
The total prize purse for the sixth edition of the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club is $9.2 million, up from $8.8 million in 2023. This year’s winner will take home a $1.65 million cash prize which will be split in a $1,329,400 share if two players are tied for first, $1,097,866.62 if three players are tied and $936,100 per player if four tie.
