Connect With a Local Real Estate Specialist

Polo Fields Golf & Country Club is a private, 18-hole club just west of Ann Arbor in Scio Township, built in 1995 to William Newcomb's design and sitting at the center of a purpose-built residential community of the same name. The surrounding Polo Fields neighborhood -- roughly 415 acres across three phases (The Fairways, The Preserves, The Gallery) -- was developed specifically around the course, with many estate homes sited directly along its fairways on lots up to 3/4 acre. It reads less like an old-guard urban club with houses that grew up around it and more like a purpose-built golf-residential development, even though the club itself and the neighborhood's Homeowners Association are legally and administratively separate entities.

Golf & Course

The course is a par-72, links-style 18-hole design by William Newcomb that opened in 1995, with six sets of tees. It anchors a 36,000-square-foot clubhouse with a grill room, banquet space, and an outdoor patio overlooking the course, and hosts both member play and outside golf outings/events.

Membership & Access

Does buying a home here include club membership?

No — homeownership does not automatically include membership. See details below.

Golf access at Polo Fields is membership-based and optional, not bundled into a home purchase. The club offers Golf, Junior, Senior, and Social membership categories via an application/initiation-fee process, and explicitly operates independently of the Polo Fields Homeowners Association -- the HOA's own materials direct membership questions to Club Management and describe the club as unaffiliated with the neighborhood. A homebuyer in the Polo Fields community should treat club access the same as they would any private club near their home: available to apply for, not included with the deed.

Living in Polo Fields Golf & Country Club

The Polo Fields residential community sits in Scio Township, about five miles west of downtown Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan, and benefits from lower Scio Township tax rates relative to the city. Homes range roughly 2,000-6,000 square feet on lots up to 3/4 acre across three named phases, with prices starting in the high $200,000s for the community's more modest listings and extending well upward for larger fairway-facing estates. The community has its own Homeowners Association with an Architectural Control Committee governing exterior changes.

What Buyers Should Verify

  • Confirm current golf membership initiation fee, dues, and any waitlist directly with Club Management -- not publicly published.
  • Confirm whether any specific phase or lot carries a different HOA fee structure or deed restriction relevant to club access.
  • Confirm gated/access-control status of the neighborhood directly, as this was not conclusively found in public sources.

Notable

  • 415 acres of homesites and community space built specifically around the golf course, across three named phases.
  • The club and the residential Homeowners Association are explicitly separate, unaffiliated entities per the HOA's own published materials.
