Detailed description of University Of Michigan Golf Course
University of Michigan Golf Course is a Private 18 hole golf course located in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The University of Michigan Golf Course first opened for play in 1931. The course was designed by Alister Mackenzie and Perry Maxwell.
A multi-million dollar renovation completed in the spring of 1994 restored the grandeur of the University Golf Course to the ranks of MacKenzie's other classics. Orchestrating the restoration was Arthur Hills, a Michigan graduate and one of the foremost golf course architects in America. As an admirer of MacKenzie, Hills understood his focus was not a new course in Ann Arbor, but a return to MacKenzie's intent.
Par for the course is 71. From the back tees the course plays to 6,687 yards. From the forward tees the course measures 5,331 yards. The longest hole on the course is #3, a par-5 that plays to 554 Yards. The shortest hole on the course is #14, a par-3 that plays to 149 yards from the back tees.
Watch out for #2, a 411 yard par-4 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is #14, a 149 yard par-3.

This course is a "Classic" by one of the early 20th centuries great architects. Built in the late 1920s, it looks like it's from the 19th century, with very different holes and greens than you find in regular park-land courses. If you can find a university staff or student to get you on the course don't miss the change. The views of the University of Michigan campus are stunning from the 18th tee box.
