IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR RACKHAM GOLF COURSE AND
PRESERVING HISTORIC GREEN SPACE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
The General Government Committee, having reviewed Miscellaneous Resolution #06157 on
August 14, 2006, reports with a recommendation that the resolution be adopted.
Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I move acceptance of the foregoing
report.
GENERAL GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE
MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTION #06157
BY: Commissioners Helaine Zack, District #22 and Bill Bullard, Jr., District #2
IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS – SUPPORT FOR RACKHAM GOLF COURSE AND
PRESERVING HISTORIC GREEN SPACE
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Oakland County has a rich cultural heritage and architectural history that has been attained
throughout the years by encouraging the preservation of historic and natural resources and by
acknowledging the contribution that invaluable green spaces make to the strength and vitality of our local
communities; and
WHEREAS in 1922, the Baker Land Company developed the Bronx subdivision within Huntington Woods
(the land between 10 Mile and 11 Mile and Scotia and Wyoming). Its deed to the Rackham family stated
that the property must be used “only as a public park or golf course or for other similar purposes.” The
Baker Land Company wanted a golf course because it understood that a golf course makes a city more
attractive to potential residents; and
Commissioners Minutes Continued. August 31, 2006
333
WHEREAS Horace and Mary Rackham donated this 120-acre parcel of land located in Huntington
Woods to the City of Detroit in 1924. The couple enjoyed golf and wanted to give the common man and
woman a place to appreciate it also; and
WHEREAS to protect their generous gift, the Rackham’s also placed a restriction in the deed that
provided that the property must be used as a public golf course; and
WHEREAS the Rackham Golf Course is of major historical significance to the region. Donald Ross, one
of the greatest names in golf history, designed the course; and
WHEREAS Rackham Golf Course was the first integrated public course in the State of Michigan. Its
opening in 1923 was during a period of time when segregation was the norm. Rackham was open to all
people regardless of their ethnicity, color or class; and
WHEREAS adding to its historical significance, the Rackham Golf Course contains a clubhouse that was
designed by renowned architect N. Chester Sorensen and includes Pewabic tile in its interior; and
WHEREAS Ben Davis, a 97-year-old golf professional, began his career at Rackham Golf Course in
1936. He was the first black professional golfer in Michigan and for 60 years the course pro at Rackham.
Mr. Davis taught such notables as boxing champion Joe Louis and former Detroit Mayor and Supreme
Court Justice Dennis Archer; and
WHEREAS recognizing this rich history, the City of Huntington Woods is in the process of having the
Rackham Golf Course declared an historic preservation district; and
WHEREAS many communities are facing difficult financial challenges, and the City of Detroit has
indicated an interest in entertaining offers to purchase Rackham Golf Course. The initial offer from a
developer to purchase Rackham to construct 400 or more single family housing units was rejected by the
Detroit City Council who suggested that the Mayor pursue an open bid process; and
WHEREAS the City of Huntington Woods and its residents view the Rackham Golf Course as an integral
part of the community. This local community is interested in preserving the Rackham Golf Course and its
120 acres of green space, not only for its residents - but for the metropolitan area as well, and has
submitted an offer to purchase the property; and
WHEREAS the City of Huntington Woods has determined that a development of such high density would
increase the number of households in Huntington Woods by 17%. This would be a dramatic change to
the community’s character and a drain on its public safety resources.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners hereby
supports urban initiatives to enhance the quality of life in our communities by offering recreational
parkland.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners supports the community-
based efforts to maintain Rackham Golf Course as a recreational green space that can be enjoyed by
residents throughout the region for many generations to come.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners encourages the efforts
of concerned citizens and the residents of Huntington Woods to seek alternatives that will preserve and
protect the historic Rackham Golf Course.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges the City of Detroit
and the City of Huntington Woods to collaborate in the true spirit of regional cooperation to seek a
solution that affirms the intangible value that the Rackham Golf Course brings to the region – a precious
natural jewel endowed with an historic legacy.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Clerk is requested to forward copies of this
adopted resolution to the Mayor and City Council of the Cities of Detroit and Huntington Woods and the
Michigan Historic Preservation Review Board.
Chairperson, we move the adoption of the foregoing Resolution.

per telephone line (one-time charge) for the IP-based call taking equipment; and
WHEREAS the technical wire line surcharge was reduced by $.05 per wire line, as defined by the
telephone company (which has exclusive rights to raise or lower the technical surcharges).
