1st African-American-Owned Golf Course In Michigan Opens

POSTED: Friday, July 6, 2007
UPDATED: 8:32 am EDT July 7, 2007

Rogell Golf course becomes the only African-American-owned golf course in Michigan.

The Greater Grace Temple purchased the historic golf course from the city for $2.1 million.

Famed Detroiter Max Fisher opened the 18-hole golf course in 1914.

The Greater Grace celebrates its recent purchase of the Rogell Golf Course Friday with a festival that is open to the public.

The festival includes local dignitaries, free food and golf discounts.

Greater Grace Temple is a predominantly African-American church with more than 6,000 members.

It is located on a complex known as "The City of David," a 20-acre expanse in Northwest Detroit that sits across from the course.

That complex includes not only the church, but also a banquet and conference center, an 89-unit apartment complex for the elderly, a Montessori School, and God's Graceland Park.
