Eagle Crest Golf Club
Eagle Crest Golf Club, located in Ypsilanti Township, Michigan, features an 18-hole championship golf course and a three-tiered practice driving range with a spectacular view of scenic Ford Lake. 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. Several holes border the banks of Ford Lake, offering beautiful views throughout your round. Those include the course's signature hole, the par-5 16th, which runs along the lake and has a peninsular green. 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.
Mastodon Lineup
Emma Schroeder, Holly Anderson, Laura Caetano, Linnzie Richner and Kennedy Brooker will travel to Ypsilanti, Michigan to represent the Mastodons. Sarah Lewis will join the 'Dons but will compete as an individual.
Smashing Records
In the opening tournament of the 2019-20 season, the Golfweek Program Champoinship, Purdue Fort Wayne broke a pair of records. Laura Caetano broke the 36-hole individual record with a score of 146. After all 54 holes were played, Purdue Fort Wayne crushed the previous 54-hole record by 28 strokes. The Mastodons finished the tournament with a 912, breaking the 940 at the Cardinal Classic in 2018.
Last Time Out
The Mastodons finished fourth as a team at the Golden Grizzlies Invitational, with Emma Schroeder finishing third for her first-career top-10, and Holly Anderson finishing in a tie for seventh.
Next Time Up
The 'Dons have a couple weeks until they host the Mastodon Fall Invite at Pine Valley Country Club on Monday-Tuesday, October 14-15.
