Course Description

In 1928, one man's dream became a reality for all Elks and the communities we serve. Then-National President John F. Malley envisioned a plan that would "unite the forces of the Order into a mighty army for the service of mankind." During the annual Grand Lodge Convention in Miami that year, Malley's call to service inspired delegates to take action by voting to establish the Elks National Foundation.Today, the Elks continue to build stronger communities across the nation. The ENF improves the quality of life in local Elks communities by helping youth develop lifelong skills, sending students to college, meeting the needs of today's veterans and supporting the charitable work of the state Elks associations.The ENF would not be what it is without its ongoing support of more than 100,000 active donors as well as volunteers at the Lodge, district and state levels. The Elks community continues to expands on Malley's vision to mobilize Elks across the country into a force for positive change each and every day.To get involved, visit www.elks.org/enf.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions about Elks

Get answers to common questions about playing Elks and what to expect.

How difficult is Elks for mid-handicap golfers?

Elks presents a demanding test. With a slope of 120, it remains playable for a wide handicap range. The course rating of 70 reflects on scoring relative to par 72.

What tees should a 15 handicap play at Elks?

A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6000 yards. The back tees extend to 6500 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.

What is considered a good score at Elks?

With a course rating of 70 and par 72, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 72 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.

How long is Elks and how does yardage affect play?

Measuring 6500 yards at maximum length, scoring depends more on placement than raw power.

What type of course is Elks and how should I play it?

Elks is designed as a Parkland layout. Overall, the setup will reward players who place the ball in safe positions far from hazards. Also, type of shot is more crucial rather than just trying to gain distance.

What features make Elks strategically challenging?

The combination of a slope rating of 120 and yardage reaching 6500 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
