Walk the course
Northfield Golf Club hole by hole
Hole 1
392
yds ·Red
A 425-yard par 5 that needs a long, straight drive to stay clear of trees on the left and heavy rough on the right. The green is often out of sight on the second shot, and bunkers sit right of it.
Hole 2
222
yds ·Red
A par 4 where straight drives run down a sloping fairway. The approach needs finesse, with tall grass on both sides of the green and woods just beyond.
Hole 3
312
yds ·Red
The tee shot is uphill over tall grass. Slicers should aim left, since rough and woods are on the right, and putts on the green run uphill or downhill.
Hole 4
252
yds ·Red
A good drive leaves a short chip into the green. Bunkers guard the front and sides, and medium rough surrounds the rest.
Hole 5
370
yds ·Red
A slight dogleg right, and the longest hole on the course at 445 yards from the white tees. Trees line both sides, a bunker sits right of the green and a road runs behind it.
Hole 6
150
yds ·Red
A par 3 with a pond on the right, stone walls on the left and a wrought iron bridge crossing the hole. The club calls it the most picture-perfect hole on the course.
Hole 7
118
yds ·Red
A short par 3 of 131 yards from the white tees. The tee shot crosses the marshy end of a pond to a green that slopes uphill.
Hole 8
270
yds ·Red
A dogleg right from an elevated tee, with tall natural grass on the right. A large bunker in front of the green is the main test.
Hole 9
312
yds ·Red
The approach is one of the straightest on the course, but the fairway dips and then climbs. Bunkers flank both sides of the green.
