FAQ

Our FAQ section is here to answer any questions you may have about our offerings, services, and experiences.

What's a Hosel (pronounced "hō-zəl") Rocket?

Simply put, a Hosel Rocket is slang for a bad golf shot or a "shank". Specifically, a hosel rocket occurs when your ball strikes the hosel (the part of the club that connects the shaft to the club head) instead of the clubface. This usually results in the ball going wildly off course in a rocket-like trajectory, endangering any golfer or wildlife in your general vicinity.

What if I'm not a golfer?

That's totally fine! There are plenty of other offerings at Hosel Rockets. Enjoy our inviting lounge featuring our best-in-class 29-foot wide video wall. Grab a seat at our whisky bar to sip our premium craft cocktails and sample our delicious menu in our elegant and elevated atmosphere.

What's your story?

Our story began with five good friends seeking a high quality indoor golf and dining experience to complement their outdoor play. That goal quickly became a calling to elevate the indoor golf experience in Southeast Michigan and create a haven where golfers can escape the elements and immerse themselves in the game they love, year-round. But Hosel Rockets is more than just indoor golf; it's a vibrant community, a gathering place where players of all levels come together to connect, compete, and grow while enjoying premium whiskey and cocktails and excellent food.
