HOLE FLYOVERS
HOLE 1
391 / 385
A lengthy par 4 from the white tees and a par 5 from the red tees, this hole features a dogleg to the left. Out of bounds lurks along the entire right side and beyond the green. Off the tee, long hitters aim down the left side of the fairway for best results. If too far left, the green can be approachable from the 2nd hole. Shorter hitters best to stay to the right side of the fairway. When approaching the green, it’s wiser to miss right if erring at all.
HOLE 2
362/286
A demanding par 4 that places a premium on an accurate drive: a shot just left of the fairway can bounce favorably back into play, while anything too far left can put you behind a tree, and any ball straying right of the fairway risks bouncing into red stakes. The approach is to an elevated green that slopes from back to front, where missing right remains troublesome, making this one of the more challenging holes on the course.
HOLE 3
114/114
This par 3 hole, the shortest on the course, features a stunning lake and mountain view, with a downhill tee shot that typically plays one club less than the yardage suggests. Coming up short is generally safe, the green is wide but shallow, allowing players to roll the ball on in dry conditions, while missing right or long invites trouble and possible penalty.
HOLE 4
128/92
A challenging par 3 that plays uphill, so be sure to club up; anything short or right risks penalty, leaving you hitting 3 off the tee or having a difficult second shot. Missing left and long is safer but typically results in a tight, demanding chip—take your par and move on happily.
HOLE 5
314/305
The signature hole at Fauquier & District Golf Club delivers the course’s most breathtaking view of the Columbia River (Arrow Lake). This risk-reward short par 4 tempts aggressive players but rewards smart strategy: aiming left toward the bunker leaves a manageable approach from nearly anywhere, while flirting with the right brings the red-staked beach into play, often forcing a penalty drop and a tough recovery. The massive green, entirely surrounded by red stakes, amplifies the drama, making birdie a real possibility for precise shots yet turning slight misjudgments into double bogey putts.
HOLE 6
382/375
The longest hole on the course is a demanding par 4 from the white tees and a par 5 from the red tees that heavily rewards a straight drive with the ideal tee shot landing right centre of the fairway. Straying left or right off the tee often leads to tree trouble and leaves you facing a dauntingly long second shot. The massive green can demand 2-3 clubs difference depending on the pin placement and conditions. Missed approach shots around the green offer a reasonable chance for an up-and-down chip save, though players must beware of “Phyllis the Willow” lurking to the right, ready to swat down any shots that drift in her direction.
HOLE 7
345/330
A short par 4 from the white tees and par 5 (birdie time) from the red tees, visually favours a left-to-right shot shape off the tee, rewarding a controlled fade; drives that hang left flirt with red-stake penalty area, while those leaking too far right can encounter tree or sand trouble; the approach shot demands precise distance control, as anything short stays short, anything over the back can bounce into red stakes. The sloped green is surrounded by tight lies that make chipped recoveries particularly demanding and two putting difficult.
HOLE 8
145/132
The last par 3 hole on the course and the most visible from Hwy 6, appears deceptively easy at first glance, but demands caution. Avoid play when cars are lined up as golfers are responsible for damage, wait until road is clear or take a par and move on. Misses to the right risk striking the road and out-of-bounds, forcing a costly third shot from the tee. Shots hit left can fly or roll toward red stakes, land in a bunker or even on the nearby 9th tee box for brutally difficult chips. The safest miss is short of the green, as going long can also tumble out-of-bounds, precision is essential to avoid trouble.
HOLE 9
301/292
The final hole is a demanding par 4 that climbs uphill in a gentle dogleg left, with the entire fairway sloping from right to left. Dense trees line both sides, narrowing the landing area to the centre-right side of the fairway. Off the tee, players face a classic risk-reward decision—unleashing a driver for maximum distance or opting for a safer hybrid or 5-iron to find a more generous landing zone. The peanut-shaped green demands a precise, well-struck uphill approach that is forgiving slightly right but penalizes misses left. Beware of out of bounds stakes long and wildly right.
