Rating 75.1

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.

Scenic. Great layout.

Traps need some work, overall condition very good. Play appropriate tees and you'll have fun. Driver may not be needed on certain holes, check yardage. Friendly staff. A little high end on food and beverage.

One of my favorites

Beautiful, challenging greens. There are some birdie holes and some holes you'll be lucky to par. The course is well maintained and quite scenic, especially when you consider you're in the middle of Ypsilanti.

They have a full range, a chipping green, and two putting greens. The club house is nice and has a decent restaurant. The staff is friendly.

I've been playing this course for about five years now. The course recently came under new management and all of the new changes to the course are great. If you haven't been here in a while it's worth coming back to see the changes. The greens are in fantastic condition.

The course is hard from the tips.

Staggeringly Beautiful Course

This has to be the prettiest course I've played in the Ann Arbor area, and I've played many of the best ones (UM Course, Radrick Farms, Links at Whitmore Lake, Hickory Creek). It is a lakeside course that takes full advantage of Ford Lake to the east.

I am a high handicap golfer but felt the course was challenging yet fair from the white tees. Every hole was spectacular to look at. Lots of elevation changes, plenty of trees, rivers and ponds, and nice big undulating greens that ran true. Was the first course I've played this season that actually had a beer cart. Also the friendliest staff I've encountered. They met us in the parking lot and loaded our bags for us. Some of the tee boxes were being resodded but otherwise the course is in great shape.

Pace of play was slowed by a foursome in front of us (we were a twosome) but we were done in about 4:20. Definitely want to play this course again.

Several holes had temporary tee boxes that were up to 100 yds forward

very nice course and staff, but it was a total last minute surprise, that several tee's were temporary, instead of the nice elevated regular tee's.

Good Challenge

This Gary Player designed course is undergoing a lot of renovations to improve the quality of overall play. Redesigned a number of greens and placed new sod on several tees. For very early in the golf year, this course is very playable.

Great layout

Course is challenging and fun. You'll use most clubs in your bag. Can't wait to play this one again next year since some of the back tee boxes were closed for fall/winter renovations otherwise rating would be excellent.

Many elevation changes.

This is a great course, difficult for the better players and enjoyable for the average golfer. Great greens, plenty of water hazzards and bunkers. Eagle Crest hosts the state high school championships.
