About this course

Polo Fields Golf & Country Club sits in Ann Arbor, Michigan, designed by Bill Newcomb and opened in the late 1980s. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of southeastern Michigan, with mature tree corridors framing fairways and several water features integrated into the layout. Newcomb, a Michigan-based architect active during this period, created a routing that takes advantage of the property's natural elevation changes and wooded character. The course plays through a mix of open and tree-lined holes, with strategic bunkering around greens and landing areas. Water comes into play on several holes, requiring thoughtful club selection and course management. The layout offers variety in hole lengths and shot requirements, with doglegs and elevation changes adding dimension to the design. The greens feature moderate undulation, typical of courses built during this era in the region. Polo Fields serves as a private country club facility with a membership drawn from the Ann Arbor area and surrounding communities. The club provides a full range of amenities beyond golf, including tennis and swimming facilities. Its location in Ann Arbor, home to the University of Michigan, places it within a community with strong educational and cultural ties. The course represents a solid example of late twentieth-century country club design in Michigan, offering members a well-maintained layout suited to regular play throughout the season.

Getting there

The journey to Polo Fields Golf & Country Club begins at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), roughly forty minutes east along Interstate 94. From there, the drive west traces the corridor between Detroit's industrial edge and Ann Arbor's academic enclave, gradually softening into rolling farmland and wooded estates as you approach Washtenaw County's quieter western reaches. The final miles peel away from the highway onto country roads that wind through open fields and scattered horse farms, a landscape that hints at the club's equestrian heritage before revealing the understated entrance to one of southeastern Michigan's most private retreats.
