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 Old Country club course
Always a pleasure to play this old country club. Staff is always pleasant and cordial. Pace of play here can be very fast or a bit slower. It only takes 1 group to slow the pace. It was busy this day and we played at about 4:20 pace.This is not far off the recommended time.Narrow fairways and little higher cut rough increases the degree of difficulty. Starter said they were preparing for an amatuer tournament in the coming weeks so they were notching up the degree of difficulty a bit..especially the green speeds!! Very quick!! Alot of fun since I tend to like those more than the SLOW ones. I try to play this as often as I can because it offers a great challenge even though it is not the longest in distance. In my later years I can appreciate courses in the 6300 plus range being made harder by increasing green sppeds and allowing the rough to grow a bit higher. Greens are also fairly small in size so it does require an accurate approach shot to score.Some sand and water come into play on several holes to add to the challenge. If you are near this course..play it if you like old school courses that challenge you to use all the clubs in your bag...

Great course, golfers can't fix a ball mark
Beautiful course on a nice Friday afternoon.
Fun layout and good condition. Only problem was the crazy number of ball marks left everywhere and every bunker I hit in had at least 3 people craters from not cleaning up after their shots.
Was just disappointed a nice course was being treated pretty poorly by the golfers.
