Hole by Hole Descriptions

Hole #1 - Par 4 - Village

Gold Course 316 Yards
Blue Course 309 Yards
White Course 288 Yards
Red Course 263 Yards
 
A good hole that places a premium on driving the ball. Favor the right side to stay clear of the large old Oak. The first green is small, consistent with what you are going to see the rest of your round. Careful not to hit your second shot over the green, as it is a tough up and down.

Hole #2 - Par 3 - Lucas Ridge

Gold Course 210 Yards
Blue Course 201 Yards
White Course 178 Yards
Red Course 172 Yards
 
An accurate shot to this par three is a must. A severe bunker behind the green will catch an aggressive shot.

Hole #3 - Par 4 - Turnabout

Gold Course 412 Yards
Blue Course 391 yards
White Course 300 yards
Red Course 293 Yards
 
A drive favoring the left side will give you the best opportunity to wind up in the middle of the fairway. This hole has a severe slope left to right. Watch out for the deep bunker left of the green.

Hole #4 - Par 5 - Stillwater

Gold Course 517 Yards
Blue Course 494 yards
White Course 454 yards
Red course 393 Yards
 
A potential eagle or birdie can be had on this hole. Avoid the pines lining both sides of the fairway and you will have a great chance to reach this par 5 in two. Your second shot must avoid the creek to the right and the two greenside bunkers on the left.

Hole #5 - Par 4 - Pine Alley

Gold Course 384 Yards
Blue Course 367 Yards
White Course 326 Yards
Red Course 270 Yards
 
A difficult driving hole. The Pines to the right force you to hit a left to right shot into a right to left sloping fairway. This green is the narrowest on the course.

Hole #6 - Par 4 - Plateau

Gold Course 339 Yards
Blue Course 326 Yards
White Course 320 Yards
Red Course 317 Yards
 
A shortest par 4 that plays more difficult than you think.  A well placed tee shot with either a long iron or hybrid will put you at the top of the hill with a good look at the green.  Even though your second shot will be with a short iron, the green slopes front to back with a hidden bunker lurking short and left of the green.

Hole #7 - Par 4 - Narrows

Gold Course 350 Yards
Blue Course 334 Yards
White Course 290 Yards
Red Course 270 Yards
 
This par 4 places an emphasis on club selection and shot placement with your tee shot. The green is well guarded to the left and behind by bunkers, so choose your club wisely for your second shot.

Hole #8 - Par 4 - Green Monster

Gold Course 350 yards
Blue Course 330 Yards
White Course 282 Yards
Red Course 269 Yards
 
If you have ever been to Fenway Park than you have seen the real Green Monster. Our version is a hole that can really bite you. Generous off the tee, this hole puts a premium on your second shot. Do not be long or short as trouble lurks in both directions. Thankfully there are no bunkers on this hole.

Hole #9 - Par 3 - Pear

Gold Course 185 Yards
Blue Course 178 Yards
White Course 173 Yards
Red Course 121 Yards
 
Surrounded by Pear Trees, do not let the beauty of this hole deceive you. A well struck tee shot is a must. Favor the right side, as most balls will funnel from right to left. Two yawning bunkers on the left and one on the right are visited often. Select the right club and this hole will reward you with a well deserved birdie.

Hole #10 - Par 4 - Valley Drive

Gold Course 395 Yards
Blue Course 369 yards
White Course 351 Yards
Red Course 276 Yards
 
The view from the gold tee on this hole is why many people move to Badin. Beautiful pines await your ball as this elevated tee shot puts a premium on your driving ability. The fairway slopes left to right so favor the left side with your tee shot. Your second shot looks easy to a wide open green but beware, out of bounds lurks just a few yards behind the green.

Hole #11 - Par 3 - Gone Fishing

Gold Course 200 Yards
Blue Course 196 Yards
White Course 152 Yards
Red Course 109 Yards
 
An uphill tee shot that demands accuracy. There are no bunkers on this hole but a tee shot pulled left will wind up with the fishes.

Hole #12 - Par 4 - Alcoa

Gold Course 321 Yards
Blue Course 306 Yards
White Course 296 Yards
Red Course 269 Yards
 
Generous off the tee this hole should be one you are thinking of making a birdie or an easy par. Your drive should wind up at the top of the hill with a short downhill shot to a smallish green.

Hole #13 - Par 4 - The Flats

Gold Course 394 Yards
Blue Course 367 Yards
White Course 347 Yards
Red Course 325 Yards
 
A good straight drive will set you up with a mid to short iron to this well guarded green. A pulled second shot will most likely land in the green side bunker or even worse yet, the ditch. The ditch has guarded this green since 1924 and has seen many a golf ball.

Hole #14 - Par 3 - Redan

Gold Course 198 Yards
Blue Course 185 Yards
White Course 168 Yards
Red Course 154 Yards
 
The last of the par 3's, this hole is one that par is a very good score on. The green, severely sloped left to right with greenside bunkers on both the left and right side places a premium on club selection.

Hole #15 - Par 4 - Meadows

Gold Course 410 Yards
Blue Course 392 Yards
White Course 322 Yards
Red Course 283 Yards
 
Favor the left side with your tee ball to give you the shortest distance to the green. The green sits in a wide-open meadow and is more difficult than you think to hit.

Hole #16 - Par 5 - Alumina

Gold Course 553 yards
Blue Course 543 Yards
White Course 480 Yards
Red Course 441 yards
 
This hole, named after a product produced by Alcoa, requires two powerful shots to reach this par 5 in two. Most players will favor the left side with their drive.  The green sits up on a hill so make sure of your club selection when approaching the putting surface.

Hole #17 - Par 5 - Gambler

Gold Course 480 Yards
Blue Course 465 yards
White Course 430 Yards
Red Course 359 Yards
 
The last of the par 5's, a drive down the left side will give you an option whether or not to go for the green in two shots. The famous Badin ditch guards this hole on the left from tee to green.

Hole #18 - Par 4 - Inn

Don't let your guard down on this final hole. The tee shot demands you work the ball right to left. Your second shot doesn't't get any easier as the green is large and well protected by three yawning bunkers. The green can be seen by guests of the INN and patrons at the pub so be sure to make every shot count.
