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.

Wow! We are so happy you enjoyed your round! We look forward to seeing you again soon at Washtenaw Golf Club.
Great old course gets a face lift
I play Washtenaw frequently and always enjoy the course.
Layout: a great old course with good elevation changes, a variety of short and longer holes. Before the trees fill in this course lacks some of its teeth but still the fast contoured greens provide a good challenge. It will be interesting to see if they move tee boxes to make some of the short par 4s reachable.
Tee boxes: flat and had good coverage, minimal robots even on the par 3s.
Fairways: the grass is till dormant but has good coverage and is trimmed.
Rough: there is little true rough at the moment but what is there is decent with a few dirt patches.
Bunkers: these were not prepared which was not a surprise given the time of year and recent rains.
Greens: were shaggy and still dormant. They were also uncharacteristically soft due to the cold and rain. Even with that they ran well and provided some good early season challenges.
Overall this is a great old course and I am excited to see what Kendal does with the refurbishment efforts and tree removals.

Under construction
Only front nine open. Many ancient trees being removed , thus becoming a relatively easy course.

Nice traditional track
This course plays well. It’s a throwback course so you’ll need to hit it fairly straight. Small greens with good speed. I really enjoyed playing here a couple times this past season. Definitely worth the money.
A traditional country club feel
Washtenaw golf club offers a traditional golf experience. Once on the first tee look behind you to notice a very cool view of the clubhouse. Then tee off to start your experience. You will first notice the beautiful old trees on basically every hole. And if you get into those trees it’s best to take your medicine and punch out to the fairway. You will also notice that what makes this course very challenging are the very slick and slanted greens. They are fun!!! The course is beautiful and it’s a hidden gem in Ypsilanti. It was established in 1899 so if you decide not to ride the walk from green to tee is very short. It’s a fun experience and I wish the new owners all the best. Great course!!!

Good as usual
This course usually is good, can’t remember a time I’ve had a bad experience. Even being paired up with people I don’t know I still found my round to be enjoyable. Course just genuinely looks nice, definitely a hidden gem in Ypsilanti.
