Welcome to the Dearborn Country Club

In 1923, Henry Ford, one of the most powerful men in history, instructed his general secretary to "lay out a good, practical golf club that anybody could use." Dearborn Country Club is a traditional, family-oriented club located conveniently between downtown Detroit and the western suburbs. The club features one of the most challenging, yet playable 18 holes of golf found in the state of Michigan, great dining, quality service and facilities with year-round recreational and social activities centered around our Albert Kahn designed clubhouse. Our members like to refer to it as their "home away from home' where great fun, friendships and camaraderie are the cornerstones of our historic club.

Unlimited access to 18 holes of Donald Ross-designed championship golf is a great reason to become a Dearborn Country Club member - but it's not the only one. From our competition sized swimming pool, men’s and ladies’ fitness areas, casual and fine dining, to our ballroom banquets and year-round special events, what you get when you join the Dearborn Country Club is a club experience among the best in the world. For over 90 years, we've carried Henry Ford’s vision onward - giving members a great place to try a new dish, lap the pool, lounge on the patio or play a first-rate round of golf.

A little history

Mr. Ford procured the services of nationally known golf course architect, Donald Ross, to design the original course. Famed architect Albert Kahn was then engaged to design the beautiful English Tudor-style Clubhouse. The English timbered Clubhouse was built with hand hewn beams in the dining room and ballroom, with walls of stone and brick and a still much-admired slate roof. The floors are pegged oak. The kitchen facilities and equipment on Monel metal, then a new stainless material, were laid out by John Rummer, the Club’s first manager. The table linens (from Ireland), china, and silverware were the finest available.

The golf course, designed by Donald Ross, was laid out on 160 acres of property set aside by Mr. Ford. In 1966, the golf course was re-designed by golf course architect C.E. Robinson. The addition of knolls, valleys, lakes, and an overall increase in the size of the greens, resulted in what has truly become one of the most challenging, yet playable championship 18 holes of golf found in the State of Michigan. Dearborn Country Club has had the honor of hosting the PGA Champions Tour, “Senior Players Championship”, as well has having been host to two LPGA events, and chosen to host the British Open Qualifier in 2008. Players the likes of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Lee Trevino, Gary Player, Nancy Lopez, and Kathy Whitworth, have all graced our manicured fairways and beautiful greens. Voted by the Detroit News as one of the “Top 3 Private Country Clubs” in Southeastern Michigan in 2004, Dearborn Country Club continues its fine tradition of offering its members a place where they can get away from everyday pressures. With our outstanding Junior Golf Program, as well as our competitive swim team, the Dearborn Country Club is truly a place where golfers and families can come to play. Fine golf and good companionship are the hallmarks of a great country club and we at

Dearborn Country Club are proud of our heritage.

Clubhouse

Dress Code

Members are encouraged to consider common sense, respect for tradition, modesty,

and the comfort of fellow members and their guests when making casual-attire

decisions. We prefer our members dress-up rather than dress-down when visiting the

Club. While we expect that members will use good taste and judgment, the Board has

directed Club Management to discreetly review any inappropriate casual attire decisions

directly with the member to ensure that the Club maintains a casual environment that is

enjoyable for everyone.

Please note that the Dress Code only allows jeans in the 19th Hole, the Terrace Room, Grill Room and patio. Jeans can not have holes, and they must be in good condition. Other considerations include:

Jeans are not allowed on holidays, at any event in the banquet rooms, golf course or cart paths.

Cargo pants, hoodies, sweatshirts, t-shirts, tank tops and flip flop sandals are not allowed at any time. Leggings are only allowed in the fitness area.

Further no swim attire, (bathing suits, coverups or flip flops) are allowed past the snack bar.

Caddies

Caddies may be requested when making your tee time. If you have already made a tee

time and simply wish to request a caddie, please notify the starter and/or Pro Shop at

least 24 hours in advance. This will ensure that your request is handled properly. While

there are usually extra caddies available, it is still a good idea to reserve one.

Page 14: Dearborn Country Club Membership Orientation DCC Membership... · Dearborn Country Club Membership Orientation ... with the membership director when you join the club. Dues vary based

14

Caddies carry their own caddie checks which show the different caddie rates. These

rates are determined by the rank of the caddie. Beyond the caddie rate, it is a general

practice to tip a caddie based on his or her performance. The Golf Association of

Michigan standard is $20 to $25 per 18 holes for a satisfactory review. You can use this

as a gauge to reward a caddie for a superior job. This is, however, a decision for the

player. There is also a caddie evaluation on the bottom of the caddie check so the player

has the opportunity to rate the caddie and suggest areas for improvement.

Pro Shop Attendants

Pro Shop attendants assist with carts and cart cleanup, baggage pickup and cleaning of clubs.

The suggested minimum tip is $5 per day of golf.

Lessons

Lessons may be scheduled with our teaching professionals by calling the pro shop at

313.561.4433. Our Teaching professionals are:

Tony DiPaolo - Head Golf Professional & Teaching Professional

Donna Fiscelli - Lead Assistant Professional & Teaching Professional

with divot mix provided on all club carts.

rules of the day, such as “keep carts in rough only” - “fertilizing” or “spraying

today” When fertilizing or spraying signs are posted, please stay clear of the

operator and DO NOT place golf equipment where it can become in contact with

your mouth.

Please turn in any items or equipment found on the course to the Pro Shop.

Golf carts are to be operated in a safe and responsible manner. Children are

prohibited from driving a golf cart. Teenagers that have a State issued driving

permit or driver’s license can drive a golf cart.

When approaching the green with golf carts to chip and putt, carts should remain

on the cart path and brought as far as the pin or farther for parking. This will

make for a quick exit from the green and keep play moving along.

Parking in close proximity to the greens is permitted for physically challenged

members and guests that are approved to have a flag on their cart designating a

physical handicap.

While chipping and putting, carts should never be left in front of the green.

To prevent serious injury and damage, golf carts are never allowed in the parking

lot.

Members and guests are encouraged to utilize the services of DCC Pro Shop

attendants for assistance with golf bags.

Driving Range

Our club provides an excellent practice facility where golfers of varied abilities are able

to practice a variety of golf shots. Summer hours for the golf range are as follows: 7:00

AM to 7:00 PM (Tuesday through Sunday) Spring and Fall hours will change due to

decreasing daylight. Time is needed to retrieve golf balls and clean the tee line in

preparation for our next business day. Beyond the Driving Range we also have a

secondary practice green surrounded by 2 bunkers. It is often referred to as “Old 16”

because up until 1967 it was the 16th green. Its function is for practice of short shots

from various lengths, bunker shots. Please do not hit full middle irons or longer distance

clubs on “Old 16”.

Golf Shop Merchandise

The Golf Shop has a complete line of men’s and ladies’ golf apparel and equipment for

your selection. Purchases may be made by cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, American

Junior Golf

There is a Junior Golf Program for the children of our membership. Kids participate in an

extensive program that teaches all of the fundamentals of golf. Children who are

considering lessons should look at participating in this program as an option. The pro

shop staff provides group lessons each morning the Junior Golfers meet.

Ages for Junior Golf

We like to start our Junior Golfers at the age of five. If you feel that your child can hit

the ball reasonably well by age four then an exception will be made. The last year a

young golfer can play Junior Golf would be the summer before his/her eighteenth

birthday.

Dates & Times

Almost every Tuesday morning from the time school ends in June until the end of

August. Refer to your Club calendar for exceptions. Start time varies based on age and

number of holes played. Please contact the pro shop for more details.

Junior Golf Supervision

Although we have a Junior Golf Chairman, it’s the parents’ responsibility to volunteer

their time each week and go out with the younger groups on the golf course. The

parents’ tasks are to keep score, teach proper golf course behavior and generally

supervise the golfers. It is a very rewarding experience and our Junior Golf Program

could not exist without it.

Every effort is made to ensure that this happens, if requested. Sometimes you will go

out with someone other than your child. This depends on the number of golfers versus

the number of parents that show up each week. In fact it may be best for both parent

and child to be in separate groups.
