Located 35 miles north of Detroit, Indianwood Golf & Country Club was once a resort haven for the wealthy of Detroit to enjoy a respite from the grind of urban life. During the roaring 1920s, noted architect Wilfred Reid, who had designed The Olympic Club’s Lake Course among others, took the piece of land and laid out the historic Old Course.

The original barns on the property were the basis for the clubhouse and the club quickly grew with the installation of a landing strip for airplanes in 1928. That same year, George Von Elm became the first amateur to win the Michigan Open held at Indianwood.

 

PAR AND YARDAGE: Indianwood Golf & Country Club will be set up at 6,891 yards and will play to a par of 35-35–70. (Note: Yardages subject to change) 

ARCHITECT: Designed by Wilfrid Reid and William Connellan, Indianwood Golf & Country Club opened for play in 1925.  Reid, who was elected to the Michigan Golf Hall of Fame in 1985 also designed The Olympic Club, the site of the 2012 U.S. Open.  Stan Aldridge purchased Indianwood in 1981 and hired Reid’s great grandson Bill Zmistowski for club renovations.
