Rustic Glen Golf Course

Rustic Glen Golf Course sits in Saline, Michigan, a small city southwest of Ann Arbor in the gently rolling terrain of Washtenaw County. The course was designed by Greg and Harley Hodges, a father-son team who have worked on several golf projects in Michigan and the Midwest. Their design approach typically emphasizes playability across skill levels while working within the natural contours and vegetation of a site. The layout at Rustic Glen takes advantage of the property's wooded areas and elevation changes characteristic of southeastern Michigan's glacial landscape. The routing moves through stands of mature hardwoods and opens into meadow-like clearings, creating variety in both visual character and shot requirements. Water features and natural drainage corridors come into play on several holes, adding strategic interest without overwhelming the design. As a daily-fee facility, Rustic Glen serves both local residents and visitors to the Ann Arbor area. The course offers a straightforward golf experience suited to recreational play, with conditioning and pace that reflect its role as an accessible public option in a region with numerous university-affiliated and private clubs. The clubhouse provides standard amenities for a municipal-style operation, focusing on functionality rather than elaborate dining or event spaces.
