Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of challenge should I expect when playing Ann Arbor Golf and Outing Club?

Don't let the 'Outing Club' name fool you; this course is a thoughtful test, not just a casual stroll. You'll find a classic, tree-lined layout that demands precision off the tee and smart iron play into its subtly contoured greens. It's not about brute strength here, but rather strategic course management and a good short game will truly shine.

Are there any standout holes or unique features that make Ann Arbor Golf and Outing Club special?

Absolutely, the course has a wonderful old-school charm. Keep an eye out for the par-3 14th, which plays over a ravine to a well-guarded green - it's a beauty and a beast. You'll also appreciate the rolling terrain throughout, a refreshing change from flatter courses, which adds both visual appeal and strategic complexity to many approaches.

When is the best time of year to visit and play Ann Arbor Golf and Outing Club?

We highly recommend late spring (May-June) or early fall (September-October) for the most enjoyable experience. The course conditions are typically pristine, and you'll avoid the peak humidity of summer while enjoying Michigan's beautiful foliage. Book your tee time well in advance during these prime seasons, as they fill up quickly.

Is Ann Arbor Golf and Outing Club open to the public, and what's the best way to secure a tee time?

While it has a private club feel, Ann Arbor Golf and Outing Club does offer limited public play, typically on weekdays and select weekend afternoons. Your best bet is to call the pro shop directly a few weeks out to inquire about available public slots and current green fees. Don't just show up - planning ahead is key here.

What's the atmosphere like at Ann Arbor Golf and Outing Club, and what should I do after my round?

You'll find a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere with a strong sense of tradition. After your round, we suggest heading into the clubhouse for a casual meal and a drink - their patio offers a great view of the 18th green. It's the perfect spot to relax, recount your birdies (and bogeys), and soak in the classic golf club vibe.
