Spectator parking for the Rocket Mortgage Classic will be located at the Michigan State Fairgrounds, and fans will be shuttled to the main tournament entrance – making for a convenient and easy entrance to the event. Fans will enter the Fairgrounds on West State Fair Avenue between Woodward Avenue and John R Street, and can then board a free shuttle to take them less than two miles to and from Detroit Golf Club.

On-site parking prices will be $15 for Tuesday, June 25 and Wednesday, June 26, and $25 for each day Thursday, June 27-Sunday, June 30.

Attendees are encouraged to purchase parking online to simplify their entry into the event while also saving $5 on Tuesday-Sunday fees, and parking can be bought online only as part of a ticket purchase. Those buying tickets at RocketMortgageClassic.com between now and tournament week will be given the option to add parking to their purchase, and previous ticket buyers will receive an email with an offer to purchase parking in advance. Ticket holders and ticket buyers will be permitted to purchase up to four parking passes per day of the tournament.

Complimentary handicapped parking is located at the University of Detroit Mercy, with ADA accessible shuttles to and from Detroit Golf Club. Fans must have a handicap placard and ID that matches the placard to park in this lot.

For those intending to use rideshare to get to and from the Rocket Mortgage Classic, the Palmer Park Community Building (1121 Merrill Plaisance Street, Detroit, MI 48203) is the tournament’s designated drop-off and pick-up location. Rideshare drivers will need to approach from the south via Woodward Ave., as access to Pontchartrain Blvd. will be restricted to residents and credentialed vehicles only.
