The longish par-4 second proves a tough par, especially because of the huge tree blocking an approach from the right. Missing the green can be lethal. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/04/2023

A view of the third green, in deep afternoon shadow, and beyond the fourth tee. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/04/2023

Here is is the commanding view from the high tee of the dogleg-right fourth. The fairway seems the toughest to hit and hold at Farmingbury Hills. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/04/2023

If your tee shot lands on the fairway’s right side at the second hole, this large tree threatens your approach. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/21/2022

A look over the course from tee one; it’s about the same view you’ll get from the adjacent clubhouse and East Street Eatery. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 09/14/2021

The first. This small green is a tough target for your round’s second shot (seen from right flank). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/06/2021
-
Four: Simply a spectacular tee shot, where you’ll want precious little sidespin on your golf ball. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/06/2021
-
Four. The hole narrows down on the second to this tilted, hard-to-putt green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/06/2021
-
Five: Another amazing hole that rises some four stories (club up a few) to this perched green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/06/2021
-
Seven: Avoid, at all costs, going rightward on your approach to this green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/06/2021

Nine (par-five): Maybe my favorite hole. Long, beautiful, heavily rolling, and exciting to play. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/06/2021

The first may be the ‘easiest’ hole on the course, but its green is small and well-defended. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/25/2020
-
Looking down eastward from tee two, across the ninth fairway: the visible golfers are playing from tee eight. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/25/2020

The fourth hole, in my view, hits a trifecta: best hole; best views; best tee shot. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/25/2020
-
The sixth, a par-3 sports an interesting tee shot from the blues. Watch for OOB left. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/25/2020

Green seven, as viewed from high in the left rough. Terrific par 4/5. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/25/2020

The eighth green as seen from this hole’s left side. Nice four-par. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/25/2020

Two: This serene-looking green still poses problems. Good luck getting up-and-down if you miss long. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/21/2020

Another terrific view at FH: the 3rd hole, seen from the tee. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/21/2020

Fun Day in the Sunshine
We had a blast. 1006 tee time basically had the course to ourselves. My Girlfriend is just learning how to play and really enjoyed the course. She loves the hole over the road.
The folks there are wonderful.
I've taken my Grandson there they have tee-it-forward tee markers (Orange).
Very family friendly. Witnessed golfers of all abilities while eating lunch outside overlooking the 9th green.
Challenging layout.. 5th hole has actually 2 different greens to play either straight ahead or dogleg right.
8th hole first time around plays as a par 3 then as 17th hole a par 4.
Very unique set of tee boxes throughout the course.
Can't wait to go back...
