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.

Spring golf

Always a nice course to play, it's still growing in from winter conditions, but it will be in top condition soon. Greens were as always very fast.

wet and wild round

It was raining, I did a hot deal, so no refunds. I hate walking the course due to foot pain, but had to tough it out. I just zig zagged around the front nine and then I was done. On nice days, I enjoy playing here. I have to check the weather next time🤧

B+

I’ll come back when I’m a scratch golfer cause the greens are very tough. Lots of slopes and undulation in the fairways also. First 6 holes are pretty straight forward then it starts to get interesting. Not an easy course at all but the conditions and layout are really good. Carts have a neat gps system but don’t have a usb port.
