About
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.

Great Course
Excellent course with plenty of hilly conditions and undulating greens. If you’re a golfer who likes to shape the flight both ways, this is the course for you! Also, the carts have GPS distance “scopes”.
The greens are very fast if you happen to leave your ball above cups. This was a private course back in the day, so it’s a very interesting layout and even a lamppost which alerts the group behind that you have crossed the bridge on the ninth hole! Great idea.
Thank you for your review. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Washtenaw Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Fast, true rolling, undulating greens.
The course was in great condition even after about an inch and a half rain overnight. Fairways were cut and the greens were quick. The only problem I found were the sand traps. Sand was course and hard packed in most bunkers and the depth of sand under the ball varied enough that I couldn't play a consistent sand shot around the greens. I did enjoy my round. Next time I will try harder to avoid the sand.

Walk Back in Time
Fantastic, old school former private golf course in a parkland setting. Surprisingly rolling terrain for the middle of Ypsilanti. Course conditions were perfect. Fairly open off the tees, this course gets tougher (while extremely fair) as you get closer to the flags. With hard & fast greens protected by well-placed bunkers, this course is a paradise for golfers who enjoy approach shots, and heaven on Earth for short game enthusiasts.
Thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Washtenaw Golf Club.
