FAQ
Get answers to common questions about playing Fairhaven and what to expect.
Players often find Fairhaven technically exacting. At 138.0, it provides challenge without being extreme. The course rating of 74.4 reflects on scoring relative to par 73.
A 15 handicap golfer should consider tees closer to 6471 yards. The back tees extend to 6949.0 yards, which makes approach shots longer and scoring more challenging.
With a course rating of 74.4 and par 73, a mid-handicap golfer would typically score in the mid to high 80s. Stronger players aiming to break 73 must manage approach shots and avoid penalty strokes.
At a full length of 6949.0 yards, it requires solid mid-to-long iron play.
Architecturally, it reflects a Parkland style. 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.
The combination of a slope rating of 138.0 and yardage reaching 6949.0 yards creates consistent pressure on approach shots. You will need to balance risk and reward, especially on longer par 4s and protected greens.
