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, a PGA Teaching Academy on the property, 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 initially 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 University Board of Regents passed a resolution to name the golf clubhouse “Roy E. Wilbanks Eagle Crest Resort Golf Clubhouse“. 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 twelve 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.
