Hole 1 (Par 4)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (369) | Men (357) | Women (349) | Seniors (340)
A nice introduction to the start of your round. This hole moves slightly to the left with a front to back sloping green protected by bunkers on the right.
Tip: Aim your tee shot just right of the pine by the pond and fade it.
Hole 2 (Par 5)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (531) | Men (519) | Women (512) | Seniors (430)
A strong par 5 dog leg to the right. Trees protect the right side and also through the fairway. Your approach shot into this small green is challenging because of the large tree about 100 yards from the green, also the green is lower than fairway which often creates a blind shot.
Tip: Aim your tee shot right of the fairway bunkers, and use less club on your approach shot because the hill in front of the green will add distance.
Hole 3 (Par 3)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (188) | Men (181) | Women (173) | Seniors (163)
A challenging par 3 due to its length, the green is receptive to a well struck shot. This green can be difficult to read because of the beautiful, tall trees that cascade shadows on the surface.
Tip: Short is okay, it is an easy up and down from the front.
Hole 4 (Par 4)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (403) | Men (398) | Women (392) | Seniors (348)
A straight par 4 that has a rolling fairway. A fairway bunker on the right protects that side and trees down the left protect the errant tee shot to the left. The green is protected by 2 bunkers.
Tip: The hardest shot in golf is required off the tee, the straight shot. Hit it straight to set.
Hole 5 (Par 4)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (400) | Men (393) | Women (386) | Seniors (356)
A par 4 that plays longer than it is on the card, this hole plays into the prevailing winds from the west and moves slightly right to left. The green is longer, narrow, and has some deceptive breaks.
Tip: Aim just left of the fairway bunker and hit 1 extra club into this green.
Hole 6 (Par 4)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (365) | Men (338) | Women (331) | Seniors (276)
A great short par 4 that will challenge your golf knowledge, This small round green requires a precision approach shot that cannot be bounced up into because of the rough we grow around the entire green.
Tip: Driver might not be your best option of the tee, play to a yardage.
Hole 7 (Par 3)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (199) | Men (187) | Women (181) | Seniors (110)
A very difficult par 3 that is canvassed by trees and plays uphill. The green is a very narrow, long green that slopes away from the tree box. This hole will challenge your long iron capabilities or your favorite fairway wood or hybrid.
Hole 8 (Par 5)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (577) | Men (510) | Women (467) | Seniors (333)
A difficult driving hole, you must carry a ravine to land your drive in the fairway. The right side is protected by a large oak and the left side is guarded by trees and wetlands. Use all you have on your second shot to make your approach shot into this green as easy as possible. The green is divided by a large tier that makes navigating your putts difficult.
Hole 9 (Par 4)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (428) | Men (415) | Women (377) | Seniors (366)
A tricky tee shot on a left to right shaped hole. Out of bounds protects this hole on the left and trees protect the right side. The approach shot is into a raised green which makes it difficult to see the landing surface from the fairway.
Hole 10 (Par 3)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (133) | Men (129) | Women (127) | Seniors (125)
This short, yet challenging par 3 is a difficult hole. The green slopes front to back and is protected on each side by bunkers. Out of bounds is left and behind the hole, there are a lot of breaks in the green.
Tip: Select a club that will not spin too much.
Hole 11 (Par 5)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (485) | Men (480) | Women (477) | Seniors (387)
A short par 5 that will challenge you to make par. With a heavy tree stand down the left side and established trees down the right side, a premium is placed on your tee shot. Guarding the left side is a fairway bunker that will catch the mis-hit tee shot. Big hitters can go for it in 2, but use caution as there is a hazard and obstacles to the right of the green, to the left of the green is a forest.
Hole 12 (Par 3)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (186) | Men (137) | Women (108) | Seniors (97)

Hole 13 (Par 3)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (184) | Men (170) | Women (122) | Seniors (92)
Our signature hole on our scorecard, #13 is a very pretty par 3 in a natural setting. It is a difficult tee shot that is all carry over natural wetlands into a good sized green that you cannot see from the tee box. Be wary of the two bunkers protecting this green, one is on the left side of the green and the second is a strategically placed bunker.
Hole 14 (Par 4)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (390) | Men (362) | Women (326) | Seniors (316)
This par 4 is easy on the eyes but tough on the scorecard. Set with woods and OB on the left, with woods and wetlands on the right, there is a premium on your tee shot. Once safely in the fairway, there is no time to relax, an intimidating deep bunker protects the front of this well designed green that is difficult to putt.
Tip: Use an extra club into this green as the front bunker creates a depth perception problem.
Hole 15 (Par 4)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (398) | Men (389) | Women (320) | Seniors (294)
This dog leg left par 4 can test your skills as an accurate driver. A pond on the right of the fairway and trees through the fairway make this a tough driving hole. A birdie can be made, but only if you play smart and hit the green in regulation. If you miss the green, a difficult up and down awaits you.
Tip: Aim your tee shot at the right edge of the pond.
Hole 16 (Par 4)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (398) | Men (389) | Women (320) | Seniors (320)
A straight forward par 4 that sets up the final 2 holes. Mature trees line both sides of the fairway and the green is well positioned to receive quality approach shots.
Tip: Usually playing downwind, there is no reason to hit a driver. Use your 3 wood and get into the fairway.
Hole 17 (Par 5/4)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (466) | Men (459) | Women (389) | Seniors (333)
This par 5 plays back into the prevailing wind and is slightly uphill. It is an opportunity to make a birdie before the final hole. Large trees down the left protect that side of the fairway and the fairway bunker protects the right side. The green is well protected by bunkers as well and requires an accurate second shot if you are trying to reach the green in 2.
Tip: Let it out! Attack!
Hole 18 (Par 5)
Tee Lengths:
Championship (528) | Men (518) | Women (469) | Seniors (469)
Our closing hole at Fenton Farms will wrap up our enjoyable playing experience. This challenging par 5 will test every closing shot. Your tee shot is guarded by large trees on the left, and wetlands to the right. There is also a large fairway bunker to the right side. Your second shot is difficult because it sets up your approach into the most difficult putting surface on the golf course. This green slopes back to front and sideways to challenge even the most skilled putters. Walk away with par here and feel good about your round!
Tip: Avoid the green side bunkers.
