Fenton Farms Golf Club is an 18-hole course founded in 1939, located in Fenton, Michigan, nestled between the scenic shores of Lake Fenton and US-23. The course plays to a par 72 and features multiple tee lengths accommodating all skill levels, from championship to senior tees.
The layout blends classic design elements with natural features, including strategically placed bunkers, water hazards, wetlands, and mature tree lines throughout. The terrain is rolling with elevation changes that influence play, particularly on holes playing into prevailing westerly winds.
Notable characteristics include narrow greens with deceptive breaks and tiered surfaces that challenge putting accuracy. Signature hole 13 is a par 3 over natural wetlands with concealed views from the tee box, protected by two bunkers. Other demanding holes include the par 5 eighth, requiring a carry over a ravine, and the par 3 seventh, which plays uphill through dense trees with a narrow, sloping green.
The course presents moderate to challenging difficulty, requiring strategic club selection and precision approach shots. Water hazards, out-of-bounds markings, and tight fairways demand accurate tee shots, while well-positioned green complexes reward quality play. The closing holes set up a testing finish, with the par 5 eighteenth featuring a difficult, back-to-front sloping green.
