Washtenaw Golf Club
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 course and value
The greens are very challenging and fast; well maintained! The tee boxes need work and so does the driving range.but not enough to keep me from coming back!
If I lived in the area I'd play here every week!
We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Washtenaw Golf Club.
Country Club for the public
If you’ve never played a country club course before this is your chance. This course has a great set up and can really test you. The layout is that of a traditional Country Club, but for the Value golfer. The conditions aren’t perfect, but there’s not much to complain about out here. Love this course and may be my new home course.
Thank you
We are incredibly grateful that you took the time out to leave us a 5-Star review.
Washtenaw is what it is
Course was in good shape.
Nothing bad to say except it's not one of my favorite courses around.
Thank you so much for this great 5-star review. We really appreciate your business and helping to share the word about Washtenaw Golf Club.
Sand on greens
So i understand as i work on a golf course about the need to airafy and top dress. Why you would do it on a friday before weekend play is beyond me. Usually it's done monday tuesday so the sand has a chance to stay in the ground. This morning there was sand all over the greens. They should have had a blower right behind the roller this morning or a drag mat. The course was fine except for the greens putting on chunks of sand and paying 50 dollars. I will not be back to pay that price on sand.
We appreciate you taking the time to offer your feedback from a golf staff's point of view. We would like to clarify that we schedule aerification on the same week every year, typically early in the week on a Tuesday and Wednesday. However, this year due to the rain we had to push it to Wednesday and Thursday. We understand the frustration you experienced on your day of play, but we assure you our greens are always better with this process and we hope you'll give us another shot soon.
Thank you for visiting us at Washtenaw Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.

Nice course that will challenge you. Stay out of trees though. Greens can be tricky based on pin placement. However, didn’t get any kind of refund when it was walk only due to rain.
Horrible experience
The new “director of golf” Alec. Tried to exort a friend and I into paying an extra $130 to play as a two some. There was not only open space to play as a two but let the three som behind us play on as-is. Not sure who is staffing the place these days but should be seriously looked into. This guy should not be in a position of power because he clearly looks to abuse it. — at W
We empathize with your frustration regarding the booking process you experienced. Since yours was a Hot Deal time, it should have been stated in GolfNow’s booking process that golfers are subject to getting paired up once at the course, and to guarantee the other slots requires an additional fee. We’d be happy to discuss this further with you offline if you reach out to us directly at the pro shop phone number.
We're glad you enjoyed your 5-star experience with us. Please comment or reach out to our team in the golf shop to let us know more about your round!
Great last minute tee time
Course was busy but able to get in early in morning. We had to walk which wasn’t that bad, great course and great layout for walking.
