Detroit Golf Club, a 36-hole Donald Ross-designed facility dating to 1916, became home of the PGA Tour’s Rocket Mortgage Classic this year. It used mostly the North Course, while cherry-picking one hole from the South to stretch the length to 7,303 and allow it to qualify for this list. Rather than start with the North’s 305-yard drivable par, the South’s first hole, a 410-yard par par 4, served as the third hole and fit in nicely with the North’s 4th.
