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 but unhappy with tee time
Unbeknownst to us originally, my foursome’s tee time was logjammed right in the middle of a large course-wide scramble/outing. As a result, we had a 5+ hour round which was incredibly frustrating. I’m not sure of how most courses handle this, but I would think that the course would simply be closed to all public tee times that would occur right in the thick of the outing. A ranger did apologize which I appreciated. Aside from this, the course was in great shape especially given heavy rains the night before. If the course did not have the same situation in sending out a public tee time amidst an outing, I’d absolutely play here again.
Thank you for your review, u3071302. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Washtenaw Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Washtenaw
Course conditions are really good. Greens are firm yet hold. And they’re fast. This course test all of your game. If you spray it, you’re in for a long day. This is where I come to test where my game is at. If you can score well here you can score anywhere.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're glad you enjoyed the course conditions. Be sure to book your next tee time with us soon!
Great Course
Had a MOST ENJOYABLE round of golf...perfect weather & perfect course conditions. I have NEVER had an unenjoyable round of golf at Washtenaw. Started on the back nine & short delay at tee box before tee off, however, not intolerable. Front nine was definitely better pace & course attendant apologized for slower play stating a slow group was finishing.
Greens fast & true. Hard but we've noticed greens everywhere we've played were hard this season. Rarely used divot tool.
All & all a MOST enjoyable round & as always, looking forward to our next round as Washtenaw. Just a great course to play.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're very happy and honored to see you had one of your best rounds of golf yet at Washtenaw Golf Club! We look forward to your next round of golf with us as well!
Beautiful layout
First time playing this course, was pleasantly surprised at the course conditions this early in the season. Had a fair amount of rainfall this week and course was pretty dry. Fairways and greens were exceptional, layout was very challenging and well worth the money. Scores were not as well as we would have liked, but had a great time. Will absolutely return to this course this summer.
We're glad you had an awesome first time playing at Washtenaw Golf Club and that you found value in your experience with us! We look forward to your next round of golf with us.
Nice but pricey
Last minute tee time for group of three left me with few options. We’d never played here before but I’d heard good things. A very nice course. Nice length, variety of holes, elevation changes, some water in play. Greens were in great shape and for the amount of rain we’d had recently, the course was in good shape. Very nice, but not sure it was $65-a-round nice.
We're glad you enjoyed your 4-star experience with us!
Covid unsafe
I was paired with a duo not practicing social distancing. I wouldn’t recommend pairing random unknown people through this app because it causes a situation where the virus can spread. I don’t think that is the fault of the course, rather the apps programming.
Not really fair to the course to rate them based on the behavior of the golfers you were paired with.
Ypsilanti jewel

Great course
Excellent local course for the price, especially if you get a Hot Deal. Fun layout. The staff is very friendly. Given the affordable price, it can get pretty crowded. After a rain, the greens are like putting on glass.
We're glad you found value in our golf course! We hope to see you out here in 2020.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Washtenaw Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Early Oct round
Started off rough with first tee time since carts were not available since staff left keys at home . Had to walk first four holes with out of country guest since it took employee 45 mins to go home and get keys! No backup plan? I’m sure when it was private there were always backup plans to take care of guest. Course tight but in good shape.
We apologize for the inconvenience of not having a cart for the first few holes. We do hope to make this up to you in the future and we hope you'll give us another shot.

Save your money
Started out bad when the driving range is for irons only. $10 for a small sandwich and $5 for a beer. $8 for range balls. Then on to the course. Most if the holes are down and back next to each other. Greens are difficult with some impossible pin placements and some very patchy. Tons of ball marks and bald spots. The group was unanimous we won't be back again.
