Travis Pointe CC to invest $6 million to upgrade

Travis Pointe, a private club near Ann Arbor, is undergoing a massive upgrade to the club and golf course.

A few years ago, I was able to play and comment before the LPGA Wolvik Championship.

You can read my thoughts on Travis Pointe, one of the few private lessons on my Michigan golf course review list.

The original architect of Travis Pointe was Bill Newcomb, who is my favorite Michigan courses including Calderone and Grande. The restoration will be supervised by Chris Wilczynski of the nearby saltwater golf building. Wilczynski is a member of Travis Pointe.

Work at the clubhouse began this fall. Golf course work began in 2026.

I wish I had the chance to play it again after I was done with the job.

The entire press release is as follows:
