Glenhurst Golf Course

Glenhurst Golf Course, on Six Mile Road in Redford, was part of an 80 acre farm owned by Thomas Paulger since 1854. In the early 1930's, a banker in Redford and husband to one of Mr. Paulger's granddaughters suggested a golf course to replace the farm that was no longer profitable. Three granddaughters of Mr. Paulger, along with their husbands Walter Nacker, Clayton Nacker, and Dewy Hawthorne all agreed to the golf course and they became Glenhurst's original family owners. The original course was completed May 28,1932 and has been redesigned three times since then with twenty-two additional acres added. Over the years, numerous developers have attempted to purchase the golf course for alternative land development. In 1989, with assistance from the DNR trust fund money, Glenhurst was purchased by Redford Township. The assistance from the DNR included a pledge from Redford to maintain the property as a recreational golf course facility.
