Owned by Eastern Michigan University, Eagle Crest is the home course for the Men’s and Women’s Golf Teams and is also open to the public. The course has locker rooms, a golf shop and a PGA Teaching Academy on the property along with its state-of-the-art practice facility and a short game area, enabling golfers of all abilities to benefit and refine their skills.

The course opened in 1989 and was originally designed by Karl Litten of Boca Raton, Florida. In 2012, Eagle Crest underwent major renovations under the direction of architect Jim Lipe. On October 1. 2013, the Eastern Michigan Board of Regents passed a resolution to name the golf course Roy E. Wilbanks Eagle Crest Golf Club. It was through his vision and consistency of commitment that Eagle Crest Resort is such a significant part of the EMU and Ypsilanti community. The par-72 course provides golfers with one of the most challenging yet fair and fun tests of golf in southeast Michigan. With ten sets of tees providing a variety of options and sightlines for all golfers, the course stretches to a length of 7,186 yards, with a course rating of 75.1 and a slope rating of 143 from the championship markers.

The hole was recently cited by USA Today as one of Detroit’s “Dream 18-Most Memorable Holes.” Eagle Crest Golf Club is an excellent value, where you can enjoy golf, food, and drink in a grand setting that continues to receive Golf Digest Magazine’s Four-Star “Best Places To Play” rating.
