No question this is a great course. I played in a league on this course for 3 years, and really…read moreenjoyed it. However, I am now in my 70's and this is a bit too much of a challenge for me. Just getting my third shot over the water on 18 is now a challenge! Many holes are long, some have blind shots, and the greens are always challenging. I typically play here only once or twice a year now, just to remind myself how challenging it is!

Pine View is a nice little course to play if you're in the area. The prices for a round of 9 during…read morethe week are pretty average, and there's a smaller, cheaper par 3 course (the Little Pine Nine) to play if that's your thing. The driving range is standard, but they have an automatic ball machine right next to the range so you can skip the clubhouse altogether. They take pretty decent care of the course, though the Little Pine course is much rougher. Fairways are nice and short, and everything is well-watered. I've played both the back and front nine, and while they're hugely different, both are fun to play. I enjoyed them as a very very new golfer, but so did my father, who's been playing much longer. A few words of advice, though-- call ahead to find out when the leagues and private lessons are. We got stuck once behind a group of women practicing after their private lesson, and it was horribly frustrating. We waited nearly 20 minutes for them to play a par-3 hole. Also, wear bug spray. Not a little dab. Not a little tea tree oil. I mean about three quarts of high-DEET deep-woods-off. The mosquitoes are absolutely vicious, especially on the back 9 and the Little Pines, which are shadier courses.

SEXIST COURSE!! was having a great time with my boyfriend, the people on another hole waved for…read moretheir ball that they hit over in our hole, (hole 9 vs hole 1), so I hit back near the WOMEN's tees (so not around them at all and they were happy and waved thank you) and the man who sits near the first hole zoomed over in the GREEN and was extremely sexist and made feel uncomfortable looking at me in a weird way like a scumbag. He was a white older man with short brown hair. He said that he was "warning me that I was aggravating them" even though I simply threw the ball back over to the people who asked and they were happy. Then I was on the grass next to the sidewalk (not fairway) and he told me that I needed to get on the sidewalk while he drove across the fairway to tell me this?? Does that make sense? Even though he drove on it to scold me, another 5-6 group of boys were on it the fairway at other holes and he didn't tell them anything. Completely disrespectful and distasteful. I used to work at Eagle Crest, so I know the rules, thank you very much and I am absolutely disgusted with management. Go across the street.

We joined as golf members in 2018, unsure if we would use the course enough for it to be worth it,…read morebut have absolutely loved being members. The course really isn't all that busy so it was easy to get out most of the time. That meant that I could get a lot of golf in with my 7-year-old son who is just learning to golf. The course was in really good condition for most of the year and took a bit of a step back after golf season, but that's fine with me given that the money raised there goes to make the membership a lot more affordable. The course has a lot of variety and is quite had in places, so there is a lot to keep you coming back for. The restaurant is also very good. We enjoyed taking our kids there throughout the year.

Golf balls struck both my and other vehicles while driving west down the city street of E. Stadium…read moreBlvd with such force that my windshield is now totaled. The concussive impact while I was in motion driving sounded like my car had been shot with a gun. Had any of these golf balls hit a person in the head they would likely be dead. Police report made with Ann Arbor city police. I went over to The Ann Arbor Golf and Outing and spoke with the *district manager* who was there on duty sitting with a group of men at the golf clubhouse bar. I requested a word with him and showed him the fresh damage to my vehicle. He stated that they have no contingency plan to prevent balls from going over their fence and striking cars or people saying it just happens sometimes with bad shots. I pointed out that once should be more than enough to look into preventative solutions and that other vehicles had been struck by different golf balls in the same time frame as Ann Arbor Police were already on scene taking report from other drivers who's vehicles were struck and damaged while driving down the busy city street. I reminded the Golf and Outing Club manger that the stretch of E. Stadium Blvd directly in front of them is also directly in front of The University of Michigan's Big House Stadium and is frequented regularly by an enormously high volume of pedestrians including children on a daily basis. When I asked him directly if preventative safety would be initiated by him now alerting the golfers to be careful, the Ann Arbor Golf and Outing Club district manager laughed saying that they were currently having a tournament and he would absolutely *not* tell his golfers to shoot more carefully. Clearly transmitting and demonstrating the attitude of not caring at all about the avoidable danger the Ann Arbor Good and Outing district manager then just strolled away from me back to the golf clubhouse bar. Speaking with my auto insurance provider I am told the smallest amount of money it is going cost to repair my completely totaled windshield will be $500 out-of-pocket. For our household that is not insignificant. Maybe it is laughable for the district manager at the Golf and Outing golf club and its members, but it's certainly not a joke for our single mother household. Anyone who golfs there should understand completely that Ann Arbor Golf & Outing Club is fully aware and not at all bothered or concerned about pedestrian safety or automotive safety whatsoever. Someone is going to get seriously injured/die from being struck with a golf ball unless the Ann Arbor Golf and Outing Club agrees to address their safety failure. The fact that they were so nonchalant in caring or expressing any care about safety of people on a public street really was shockingly impressive.

This is specifically for the driving range, as a non-golfer. Not sure if this is how they all work,…read morebut I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to go practice! My husband took me, as someone who has never played golf before in my life, to hit balls. We didn't need to prebook anything, just showed up, walked over to the driving range, used the self-serve machine to get a couple buckets of balls, walked over to an open spot, and that was that! It was a pretty crowded day (based on how many cars were in the parking lot), but the driving range wasn't crowded at all, so I'm guessing it usually isn't full. Easy to park in a large lot, there's food and drink on site in the clubhouse if you want it, and conveniently located just outside of town on the SW side of Ann Arbor. I'll be back!

I have put off writing this review for too long. This course is great. Always pretty well kept and…read moregood layout, especially for the price. Greta driving range. The staff are 11/10 though. Great people and the food/drink at the restaurant is great. Matt (I think that's his name) was more than a 5 star restaurant. We spilled a drink and he and his team replaced it for free. All of this plus the incredible sunsets are unbeatable.

It is a difficult course, with most of drives being unforgiving, and some difficult to read greens for the amateurs like me. Like the university course, there are no houses, which makes playing that much more serene.

To put it simply, this course is HARD. Beautifully designed by Pete Dye, Radrick Farms lives up to…read moreits billing as one of the premier courses in the Ann Arbor area. The fairways are mostly tree lined and unforgiving. Even a precise tee shot is not good enough on this course as cleverly designed traps and strategic tree placement are there to collect the slightest mishit. The greens are brutally fast and contoured which turn short chips into daunting prospects. Radrick isn't all doom and gloom however, the windy conditions I played under contributed considerably. With friendlier weather this is a fun and challenging course. It is also exceedingly picturesque and beautiful. If you know someone and can manage to get on this private course, I highly recommend it.

Walking the course one wet day when riding carts were not allowed. At hole 13, the Ranger came out…read moreand, in his words, "made us a proposition". He suggested that we play hole 13, then finish on the nearby hole 18 and get a raincheck for nine holes. I was baffled, the weather had become very sunny, I paid for and wanted to play an entire round. I did notice, however, that there were no golfers behind us. Why? The staff decided that their personal aspirations were far more important than doing the job they signed up for. They effectively "shut down the course" because they felt the power to do so. After the round I drove by two courses that were very active with business. Just a horrible experience!

My first and only question I got out he laughed in my ear obnoxiously to a very simple yes or no question. SO RUDE! Immediately passed on this place if thats how you treat potential first time customers... way too many other courses in the area. I advise maybe getting someone more professional that actually knows proper phone etiquette throughout the entire phone call not just their little intro, especially at a golf course. Not the best way to make people want to attend your establishment, taking my business elsewhere!!

The management replied promptly and offered to bring us back for Mother's day. Four of us visited again for Mother's Day. (Not the whole brood) if you read my previous review, the following may make more sense. Smaller tables (including us) are sat in the dining room that features a beautiful large bar in the center. The bar seats many and is elevated from the dining room. The dining room has high windows that overlook the golf course, with a fireplace and is so much quieter. When passing through the buffet/large party room, to our table, it was a madhouse. Large tables, large families and lines of people at the food stations. The brunch at Polo Fields is popular. The food is excellent. The service was a marked improvement this visit. We saw the same waitress throughout our visit. Water and coffee was filled by an assistant that was on top of the refills in the room. We also enjoyed the drink specials available. Crepes, smoke salmon, salads, prime rib and ham, but don't forget the wall of desserts! This visit, there were always plates to be had and hot coffee in our cups. It was excellent food and a wonderful brunch experience. Our meal was comp but we paid for the drinks and my husband tipped her generously (~$40) as we would have if charged. Thank you Robert and Polo Fields for having us back. Highly recommend their special occasion brunch.
