Located in Ypsilanti just off I-94 between Detroit Metro Airport and Ann Arbor is Eagle Crest Golf Club, operated by Eastern Michigan University and home to the college golf teams. Eagle Crest opened in 1987 and is a daily-fee course with a Marriott hotel located onsite. The elevated driving range and practice area overlooks Ford Lake and the course layout features several holes that play along its shores. The highlight is the signature par-5 16th hole that features a shallow, peninsula green on the lake. In 2012, EMU embarked on a 20-year master plan to the golf course that will elevate the stature of the course among NCAA host courses. Enhancements include tree management and more views of the lake, rebuilt greens and rerouted cart paths.

One of the best in the state

As far as beauty, and overall experience, Eagle Crest is one of the top public courses in the state of Michigan. Located in Ypsilanti, home of Eastern Michigan University and a 10 minute drive from Ann Arbor, home of University of Michigan. Perfect for every occasion, even a weekend stay at the Eagle Crest resort.

Early Bird got the worm !

The course was surprisingly playable .One would think a green would have no roll given our brutal winter! Not the case at Eagle crest was great. The coming year brings promise I can't wait to play again.

Hot deal

I played this course on a hot deal. Beautiful course and it only cost me 11 bucks to walk 18. I got my first ace on the shot par 3. Ended spending more money on the drinks I owed than I did on the course itself!

My Favorite

Eagle Crest has long been my favorite course to play, and at $19 was an absolute steal. The changes that they have made and are yet to finish will further enhance the beauty and challenge of this awesome course.

A true gem in the Ann Arbor area

This is a beautiful course. I am writing this review in mid October so for fall golf this course is the best around. The best greens I have putted on since the private courses I have played. Usually expensive to play here but if you get a hot deal it well worth the wait. Had a pretty long wait on the back but it was probably the last nice day for golf so it was understood. If you have never played here before you really should check it out. Golf at it's finest

Tough track for the first timer

Course knowledge is essential to scoring well at this course.Must be in proper area of the fairway and the proper tier of the green to stand a chance of scoring well. Overall had a great time.

Lovely course - Super nice staff.

My husband (the better golfer) & I always enjoy playing this course. It is easy to get to (right off I-94). Although it is close to a main highway, you would never know it. The course is expertly maintained and the surrounding woods and beautiful Ford Lake view is a feast for the eyes. The course is moderate, but some holes can be very challenging - especially for a newbie golfer like me. The staff are very attentive and always try to accommodate your needs. We enjoy playing this course whenever we get the chance.

A must play course

Eagle Crest is one of the nicest courses in or around the Metro Detroit area. The course is well maintained and very scenic. The views of Ford Lake on the back nine are spectacular. Like everyone else says the greens are very fast and challenging--many are severely sloped and some are two-tiered. It is a real challenge just to stop the ball within a few feet of the hole on most of the greens so be prepared.

After playing a number of the courses available on GolfNow.com, I have tried to narrow down the courses I really want to play and this is one of them. If you can get 18 holes in the $19-$25 range for this course it's an absolute steal compared to a number of other courses in the area.

Fast Greens

For he most part a very straight forward course. There was not one hole where I struggled on where I should be placing the tee shot. Ford lake offered some great views, enough trees and reasonably forgiving. The greens were fast and rolled awesome. I blew a few by the hole, but they also allowed for some holed putts at distances I usually don't make with a shorter stroke. Only cons... Enough people out there that didn't have the ability to play this course. Had to pass two groups and yardage markers were odd or missing.

Course has nice views of Ford Lake

They have removed a lot of greenary bordering the lake so as to provide very nice lake views. The greens were flying (12.5) A couple of 2 and 3 tier greens I don't like. You could not keep the ball on the green if you were above the hole. They are healthy and fast and true. Fairways very good. tee boxes need attention. Pace brutally slow

Greens, Greens, Greens.

Great Layout. using the lake and the hills to their advantage here and it made it tough and playable.
Played from the Blues (64xx) At a 12 handicapper it was the right spot for me. gave me a variety of clubs to hit on my second shot and made the par fives fun.
The greens are pretty fair, fast, with the grain it goes quick and that was great.

Lightning fast greens

This is the course I play as often as possible. It is challenging but fair. The greens are lighting fast and well maintained. You need to try this course.
