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.

Do you like to walk?
Postage stamp greens, narrow fairways, tall trees, plush fairways, moderate rough, and greens nearby the tee box. Wonderful, old school, walking course built in 1899. Reminds me of Glen Echo CC in St. Louis , Mo built in 1901, where I learned to caddy and of course, play golf. Exceptional staff willing to help.

Very Hard Course
Greens are really hard and difficult. Don’t be above the hole. A couple of impossible pin locations, but overall the course is a fun challenge, especially the par 7 6th.

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.

Great classic architecture at an affordable price
Great classic architecture golf course that tests all aspects of your game. For only 6.5k yards from the tips, you will hit almost every club in your bag which is a great complement for me. Greens here have great undulations and greens were firm and fast allowing you to use the slopes on the greens. Only knock I would have is there is no aiming points for some the blind approaches into greens so previous knowledge or driving/walking ahead to see the green does help. Overall this course is a must play for me several times a year even though I live 45 minutes away
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Washtenaw Golf Club thanks you!
