Located in between Ypsilanti and Ann Arbor, Washtenaw Golf Club, founded in 1899, is one of the most historic clubs in the state of Michigan. The club was private for most of its history, but an ownership change in 2019 turned this venerable layout into one of the area’s best public experiences. The 18-hole course plays 6,512 yards from the championship tees, though there are four sets of tees The club is in the midst of a multi-year restoration and enhancement project, guided by architect Ray Hearn, that includes green enlargements, tree management, and in the installation of some new championship tees. Facilities here include a putting green, small driving range, chipping green, and a large clubhouse, grill and bar, patio and event space.

Beautiful Course even in Winter

Can’t ever complain about playing in February but I don’t think I could find anything negative to say. What a beautiful course. In incredible shape for the off season. It’s a truly great, historic course with some unique & beautiful holes to set it apart from so many other courses in the area. I can’t wait to play it in the summer.

Hard to find an open course

The course was in good condition for the time of year. The I it confusion for me was the fact the fee didn’t Include a cart.

Amazing Place!!!

This place just keeps getting better at all the little things! But the main attraction is this beautiful walk and really fun shots over and over as you traverse the gently rolling land near AA

Better courses near by

Overpriced for what it is, it was in decent condition but layout is pretty boring. Much better courses in the area for much less money. Clubhouse had no food and few drink selections on a Saturday

Has potential but too pricey

Titles says it all, you can see how this course could easily be $80 a round, but the course conditions do not warrant $80 a round. A solid $50-$60 place for sure but I’ve played MANY nice courses for less than what I paid at this place.

Steal.of a deal

If this course was geographically located in NC the price to play would at least double.

Course is an old fashioned, beautifully maintained gem. The fairways were lush and the greens were lightening. There are no houses along the course, giving it an elite Country Club feel. Course opened in 1899 and it truly has that old course feel.

I will have to play this course again and again to make sure it really is as good as I'm saying.
