Dearborn Hills Golf Course Opens For 2024 Season

DEARBORN, MI — Dearborn Hills Golf Course opened the 2024 season Friday, though golfers can only enjoy nine holes as crews continue to renovate and restore the entire course.

"Dearborn Hills Golf Course holds a rich history, with golf being played on this site since 1923. The vision of long-time Dearborn resident Robert Herndon brought this course to life. Upon his passing in 1986, he left a lasting legacy by deeding the course to the City. We’re proud to care for his vision and that of the City, to provide excellent parks and recreation options for our residents and visitors every day at Dearborn Hills," Facility Coordinator for the Parks and Recreation Department Jordan Al said.

Much of the course was damaged due to major flooding that was caused by heavy rainfall in the summer of 2021. The course was closed to the public for all of 2022 while crews focused on repairs and course improvements to ensure that nine holes could be opened at the course in 2023 for the 100th anniversary of Dearborn Hills.

Since then, city officials have continued to oversee the restoration of the course and renovations to the public clubhouse in hopes of reopening all 18 holes later this year.

"We are excited to open nine holes at the course to players this spring as we prepare to unveil crucial improvements to Dearborn Hills later this year. Since adopting the course nearly 40 years ago, the City of Dearborn and the Parks and Recreation Department have remained committed to offering a top-notch option for golf enthusiasts at Dearborn Hills. We’re proud to build on this legacy and then some, by working towards creating a golf and recreation experience complete with a dedicated event space, a full-time restaurant, and a banquet center that overlooks this historic 18-hole course," Director of Parks and Recreation for the City Sean Fletcher said.

Golfers and league organizers can book a tee time to golf nine holes at Dearborn Hills by visiting DearbornHills.com. More information on golf outings is also available on this site.

Dearborn's second municipally-owned course, Mystic Creek, located at Camp Dearborn in Milford, will also open later this spring.
