Red Run Golf Club has maintained a tradition of
excellence in competition, camaraderie and ambiance since it's
beginnings in 1914. Over the years, the club has benefited from its
diverse membership, improving the quality of the facilities and
strengthening the sportsmanship spirit. Good time to be had by all is
of paramount importance to the philosophy of Red Run's members.
The main focus of attention is golf, and much has been done with
improvements to the grounds and continually is, to maintain the
standard of quality Red Run and its members expect. The club claims a
myriad of good players on its membership list as well as participating
in many tournaments and exhibition matches.
Red Run is host to the second oldest Invitational in Michigan,
interrupted only three times by the PGA Tour events the club has
hosted. These PGA tournaments were the Motor City Open in 1950 and 1951
and the Western Open in 1958. Among the many pros of the time who
played at Red Run such as Byron Nelson and Bobby Locke, we've had
visits by Chick Harbert, Al Watrous and Porky Oliver with a cameo
appearance by Walter Hagen at President's Day honoring Harold Kelly in
1948.
Many members have started out as a caddy at Red Run and became involved
in building the strong caddy program we have today. The installation of
the Evans Scholarship program has given many caddies a four-year grant
through college since it's first recipient from Red Run, Bob McMasters.
Reflective of the present, Red Run's history stands proud with many
accomplishments. The club strives to uphold the traditions and values
with each new year and new members.
