so newby to parking at the golf course, we planned on getting there around 9am to tailgate. does this mean the golfcourse is completly closed? should I come up with a different plan?

This is similar to the ND game. I would HIGHLY recommend getting there before 9 and parking over at Pioneer. It will be chaos at 9 with parts of the golf course being closed.

No you can still enter off of State Street. Just means the Main Street entrance is closed.
I do believe, correct me if I'm wrong.

Part of UM of Golf Course is closed but Ann Arbor Golf & Outing will have limited parking. You should be okay if you get there at 9am.

for $2 and it was only about a 15 minute walk across campus to get to the game, fwiw. Handy solution should the weather make grass parking difficult or non-existent

I hope people planned for alternatives. It is just terrible out right now -- cold and wet.

for ND we used one of the private lots on the south side of Scio Church (directly south of the Pioneer football field). $20 and it was a great option with 10-min walk back up to the Big House.
GO BLUE!

Can someone tell me how much it is to park at Pioneer? I parked there once in 06 but I can't remember how much I paid.

I usually try to squeeze into their lot. $20, but no tailgating, which is fine because I couldn't fit the gear into the Impala and my wife won't let me use the van for that purpose. Besides, there are plenty of good tailgates going by the time I get there.

If you aren't tailgating, park for free at the holiday inn and take the $3 round trip bus.

I parked at a city parking structure (Fourth and William) last week for $8 or 9 (I was there from about 10 -7). I've never done that before (somehow always end up in the $20-40 spots) but this worked great, short walk to catch up with tailgating friends and hung out in some downtown spots after while traffic cleared.
