Dear Members, January is an exciting start to a new year here at DGC and we wish all our members, staff, and all of your families a healthy and happy New Year. I want to begin by thanking you and your family for making 2023 a fantastic year for the Club and setting the stage for an even better 2024. It’s this wonderful blend of members and employee team members that makes our community so unique and special. If this will be your first full year at DGC, we are so excited to get to know you and your family even better. We invite and encourage you to get involved, try new things, and explore everything the Club has to offer for you and your family. For those who have been with us for many years, we look forward to bringing you an even higher-level Club experience this year. We have an action-packed calendar of events and activities in store, including an exciting mix of new programming along with the great annual traditions and signature Club events we all look forward to each year. We can’t wait to get started, so let’s go!

The Golf Simulators will be set up and ready for play starting Wednesday, January 10th in the South Lounge. The Facilities and F&B teams will be setting up a lounge area in the adjacent Sun Room, giving you and you’re your friends a place to hang out before or after your simulator reservation. Beverage and bar service will be available during the simulator hours of operations and we will have a pager system set up in both bays and in the lounge area to expedite service.

We are expanding our foodservice hours of operations to mirror the golf simulators hours through March and adding dinner service on Thursdays. Dinner in the Ross Grille will be available Thursday through Saturday and we will be offering Sunday A La Carte Brunch from 10:30am-2:30pm every week. During the other hours that the simulators are open, we will have an All-Day Dining Menu available. Chef is currently working on these menus and we will send them out in another update a few days prior to opening. These new hours of operation this off-season will give you more value to your membership and access to the Club, while helping us retain more of our core employee team members. This approach will also help us improve our ongoing training initiative by developing certified trainers that will be part of the onboarding process for the influx of new hires this spring and early summer in the food and beverage department.

Thank you again for all your support for our Club, and I wish you and your family a safe and prosperous 2024.

I look forward to seeing you around the Club!

Dear Members, I hope everyone has had a wonderful Holiday Season. I look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Thursday nights this winter while I host a class called “Learn Why You Like What You Drink.”

Starting January 18th and reoccurring every Thursday through March, we will go on a journey with a specific varietal of wine or spirit. Each week, our goal will be to understand what we like and why we like it while furthering our palettes and making 2024 a year to enjoy your beverages differently.

Week one will be all about Pinot Noir, week two will be Scotch-driven, week three we will dabble into Bourbon/ Whiskey, and week four, the party spirit, Tequila. Each week after, we will expand into wine varieties, and with the spirits, we will start trying bucket list brands and challenging our pallets to grow.

I will also be busy planning the Cigar Bar reopening during the next two months. I will construct a new Cigar Menu for on-hand items and prepare quarterly events showcasing Bourbon and Cigar combinations and other spirits that pair nicely with a good stick.

Now, let’s make 2024 memorable at DGC. Sincerely,

Brian Severn, MMH Assistant General Manager

Dear Members, HAPPY NEW YEAR MEMBERS! Hope you all had an enjoyable Holiday season filled with quality time with your loved ones. We have a lot to look forward to in 2024. Starting January 10th our Trackman simulators will be open Wednesday - Saturday 10AM - 8PM and Sunday 10AM - 5PM. Take this time to work with our qualified golf professionals to tune in on your skills to prepare for the season. You can also book a time for yourself or a group if you want a more casual individual practice session. The bays can be reserved through the club website 3 days in advance starting at 7am. We look forward to seeing you and enjoying our state-of-the-art golf simulators.

In the golf shop, we continue to bring in new products for winter and to prepare for spring and summer! Since last summer, Alexa has been curating the new collections we will bring in 2024, and we can’t wait to share them with you. During the winter months, I know many of you travel to warmer places and enjoy a game of golf. If you plan to bring golf clubs on vacation, be sure to swing by the golf shop first. Rather than dealing with them in the airport, we can ship them directly to where you are vacationing.

We look forward to seeing you and helping you improve your game in the New Year. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions. Let’s make 2024 the best golfing year yet!

Sincerely,

Josh Upson, PGA

Dear Members,, As we enter the winter months, a pivotal period unfolds for our golfing haven. This time allows us to make substantial strides in enhancing your membership experience at Detroit Golf Club. Our dedicated team is diligently utilizing the downtime to strategize and ready ourselves for the upcoming golf season, focusing on agronomics, personnel, and organizational enhancements.

In the realm of agronomics, meticulous planning begins as early as October, taking advantage of optimal deals through the early ordering program for our plant protection products. This initial blueprint evolves throughout the winter, with a special emphasis on scheduled fertility applications guided by comprehensive soil testing data. Our aim is to address nutritional deficiencies and ensure consistent growth, integrating these elements into a cohesive agronomic plan synchronized with the golf calendar.

While our pristine course is a testament to our commitment to excellence, the heart of our club lies in our people. Recognizing our staff as the paramount asset, we are proactively addressing staffing challenges and refining the overall work experience at Detroit Golf Club. Winter serves as a time for continuous education, with our team participating in events like the Michigan Turf Foundation seminars in January, ensuring they stay abreast of the latest in research, technology, and equipment advancements, while expanding their professional networks.

As the impending spring rush approaches, encompassing preparations for the course, the RMC, and welcoming returning and new staff, our version of “spring cleaning” begins now. Exploring more efficient organizational operations is key, especially given the limited space at our maintenance facility. We are dedicated to optimizing every inch to streamline day-to-day activities and navigate seamlessly through the demanding hours of the RMC. With the utmost dedication to providing you with an unparalleled golfing experience, we look forward to the forthcoming season at Detroit Golf Club.

Best Regards,

Sam Moynihan

Head Golf Course Superintendent

Dear Members, As we start this new year, I wish each one of you a Happy New Year. January marks not only the beginning of a new chapter but also a time for reflection, growth, and exciting possibilities. This marks my fifth season at the Club, and I will do my best to make it the best for everyone with new fun events.

My time at the Club becomes more and more special every year as I meet and introduce new members to the Club. This year we welcomed 50 new members. Thank you for all your help with sponsoring and endorsing them as they go through the application process. I am also grateful for the support that you have given them as they started their membership.

In the spirit of the new year, we have planned many new events and activities designed to enhance your club experience. The Ross Grille will reopen on January 10 in conjunction with the golf simulators. The Book Club will launch with zoom meetings the first 3 months of the year and then start meetings at the Club in April. Brian Severn will share his liquid knowledge every Thursday starting January 18 with Intro to Pinot Noir in his weekly Learn to Enjoy What You Drink series. On the 3rd Saturday of January, we will start with a trivia night. The theme in January is Golf-Masters and in February we will feature Motown music.

Please keep your eyes and ears open as we introduce additional events.

In February I am inviting all the ladies of the club to attend a reunion of the sort. During the early part of Covid we had a monthly networking event via Zoom. I look forward to seeing everyone in person and hearing how everyone is doing. Everyone will also be able to reserve a table and promote their business.

May this year be filled with joy, prosperity, and moments of connection with fellow members. We look forward to creating lasting memories together in the coming months.

Here’s to a spectacular 2024 at Detroit Golf Club!

Dear Members,

Happy New Year Detroit Golf Club! I hope you and your families had a wonderful holiday season full of laughter and happiness. It was great to see everyone during the weeks leading to Christmas and those that celebrated with us at the numerous events hosted in December.

This January & February, DGC is enhancing its offerings and will be available for meetings, parties, celebrations, or special events of 50 people or less in some of our available spaces. We would love to be home for those gatherings during this cold and snowy season. We have a few items on the books thus far and would love to add more! Please don’t hesitate to email or call to get some more information on the availability for what we can do to help take something off your busy plate.

The banquet department is hard at work getting things reorganized and freshened up for when we open back up at full capacity mid-March. Be on the look out for fresh menus, new offerings, and an overall increased quality of delivery with some new equipment and set ups coming! Our goal is to make DGC the top place to bring your business, clients, friends, and family to show off the beautiful club and help you throw an event worth remembering!

Thank you so much for a wonderful 2023. We can’t wait to make more memories in 2024!

Sincerely,

Erin Weimann

Director of Banquets & Special Events

Dear Members, 2023 was a great year for DGC and the Food and Beverage Department. It was great to see the beautiful renovation in the Champions Grille, the addition of oasis stations on 3 North and 5 South for Men’s League, GNO, and weekend golf, and a full summer with the tent on the Ross Grille Patio made for a more enjoyable dining experience. We look to highlight and improve these areas and more in 2024. We also aim to enhance member experience at the pool with a new bar and television as well as an adults-only dining area on the balcony.

We are excited to open all-day dining correlating with the simulator hours to provide both food and bar service. The Ross Grille Dinner will reopen Thursday, January 10th will run all winter Thursdays-Saturdays from 5pm-9pm with Brunch on Sundays starting at 10:30am. Reservations are encouraged. Look for weekly features and dining experiences communicated through the Week At A Glance.

If you are looking to host an event at the club for 50 people or less in the winter I encourage you to reach out. We are looking to provide as many opportunities for members to enjoy the club in the winter months. Be on the lookout for Valentine’s Day, March Madness, St Patrick’s Day and other themed events as well. Hopefully 3 or 4 Lions Playoff Game watch parties are on the agenda as well.

From David Lake, Jessica Pensom, Lauren Currier and the rest of the food and beverage team we wish you a Happy New Year and look forward to seeing you soon!
