Country Club of Detroit, founded in 1897, is a private country clubinGrosse Pointe Farms, Michigan. The architectural firm of Smith Hinchman & Grylls, known today as the SmithGroup, designed the Tudor Revival styled country club in 1927. H. S. Colt redesigned the country club's original golf course—designed by Bert Way[1]—in 1912 and his partner Charles Alison later modified the design. In 1952, the club commissioned Robert Trent Jones, Sr. to complete a full redesign, and in 2011, the club fully renovated the course.[2] in order to return to the original Colt and Alison design with a slightly updated interpretation.[3]

Country Club of Detroit has twice hosted the U.S. Amateur, first in 1915 where Robert A. Gardner won[4] and again in 1954 when Arnold Palmer won his first USGA title.[5] In 2004 the Country Club of Detroit hosted Turning Point Invitational, which brought many past U.S. Amateur champions together to compete including Phil Mickelson and Mark O'Meara.[6] The course hosted the 66th U.S. Senior Amateur in 2021.
