What a great course! Greens were very fast and true. Fairways well manicured. Several holes were tricky and without course knowledge I hit into places I should not have. Just things I'll have to know next time I play here.

The clubhouse and grille are also tremendous. The only problems with this course were no driving range and a very small, hard to find, putting green. I overlook those thing because of how great the course itself was.

Me and a buddy decided to try a new course in Ann Arbor for a change, and settled on a Golfnow special for Ann Arbor County Club. The club is located in a very secluded area (middle of neighborhood) and parking is across the street in an open lot.

When I first arrived, the place looked empty and desserted, which made me a little nervous that it was closed. After parking, I walked up to pro shop and was pleasantly suprised someone was there! This was on a Monday morning, but still definitely expected more golfers out there. Oh well, that just meant we would have a nice quick round.

The front 9 was definitely the more unique of the two nines. Some interesting but fun holes that you won't find elsewhere. The rough was definitely longer that I would expect, but not so long that I thought it was cruel. This 9 is definitely a shotmakers side, with expectations of having to keep it in the short grass, versus being long.

The back 9 was much more like a traditional course, and I enjoyed it very much. This 9 seemed to be maintained a little better than the front and was very enjoyable. The bunkers seemed to be in good shape and the greens were as well. Only problem was a leaking sprinkler on 16 that left a soft spot in front of the green (which of course is where my ball landed#.

The staff was courteous and friendly, and actually saved me as I had a nail in my tire, which was somewhat flat when I returned to my car. The pro shop staff actually took me to the maintenance shed, where David offered to look at the flat. After we discovered the name, he filled my tire with air #actually filled all my tires to proper pressure), enough so I could get to a tire shop. Way to go above and beyond!

Overall a nice experience and I will return.
