Somerset Country Club’s 18 hole golf course offers challenging play for golfers of all ability levels. The manicured greens take full advantage of the rolling hills and natural elevation changes to test your skills. Strategically placed bunkers and water hazards add to the complexity. With its breathtaking views of the town of Somerset, the driving range makes practicing your swing a pleasant pastime.

 

Hole #1 Par 4 405 yards

A tough hole to start your round. A tee shot hit to the right side will most likely find the fairway due to a severely sloping right to left fairway. Do not miss your second shot left. Any shot doing so could find the out of bounds area or make for a difficult third shot. The green is two-tiered, making for difficulty putting. A 4 here is a great start!

 

Hole #2 Par4 362 yards

This straight away, short par four will be a welcome site after Hole #1. There is plenty of room for your tee shot. The second shot will be played into a severely sloping back-to-front green with bunkers surrounding the green.

 

Hole #3 Par3 173 yards

This blind tee shot, par three will test your mid to short irons. The green slopes front to back with a ridge in the middle of the green. A tee shot hit to the right will find trouble.

 

Hole #4 Par4 321 yards

A deceptively easy looking par four to the eye. It can be driven, but danger lurks left. The green slopes front-to back and can be difficult to hold well-struck shots.

 

Hole #5 Par 5 537 yards

A long par five with a blind tee shot. The hole is a dogleg to the right. The second shot is key due to a pond that needs to be carried. This will lead to a short iron into a back-to–front sloping green guarded by bunkers.

 

Hole #6 Par 3 164 yards

A 165 yards par three with out of bounds left and trees right. A solid tee shot is a must. Anything hit short of the green will leave a manageable up and down. The green slopes from back-to-front.

 

Hole #7 Par 5 517 Yards

A scenic par five, this hole has a narrow fairway and a hazard down the left side. Keeping your ball in play off the tee and on the second shot is a must. The green is relatively flat with a small ridge in the middle of the green.

 

Hole #8 Par 4 408 yards

The longest par four on the course. A tee shot hit to the left side of the fairway will leave you with a great look onto the green. A pond will come into play for the long hitters. The second shot will be hit into a green that slopes back–to-front with a bunker on the right. The hole plays longer than it is.

 

Hole #9 Par 4 335 yards

A short dogleg left par four that requires a tee shot of 200 yards to lay up in front of a pond. Your second shot will play uphill into a green sloping back-to-front with bunkers guarding all around.

 

Hole #10 Par 5 555 yards

This long, three-shot dogleg left par five starts the back nine. A tee shot lost to the right will find water. Two solid shots will leave you with a short iron into a fairly flat green. This could lead to a birdie to get your back nine started.

 

Hole #11 Par 3 139 yards

The shortest par three on the course will test your short iron game. The hole plays uphill and is guarded by bunkers. The front half of the green slopes towards the front with the back half flattening out.

 

Hole #12 Par 4 373 yards

Although the scorecard shows this hole at only 373 yards, this demanding dogleg right par four will test your accuracy off the tee. Any shot not finding the fairway will likely lead to a bogey. For the most part, the green is flat, but a front right pin location can lead to some tough putts.

 

Hole #13 Par 4 380 yards

A very sharp, dogleg left, par four again calls for accuracy off the tee. With woods left and right the entire way to the green, you must place your shots with pin point precision. Not too much happening in the green. Most of the sloping on this green is in the front with a bunker front left.

 

Hole #14 Par 3 188 yards

The longest and last par three on the course. The green slopes slightly back-to-front with bunkers short left and right of the green. Par here is a good score.

 

Hole #15 Par 4 390 yards

This demanding, dogleg right, par four calls for a tee shot down the middle or slightly left to have a look at the green. Any stray tee shot hit left or right will find trees and will lead to a bogey or more. One of the flatter greens on the course, you will get a chance at that birdie if this hole is played properly.

 

Hole #16 Par 4 293 yards

A short, risk/rewards par four. Big hitters can go for the green which is guarded by multiple bunkers front right. A well-struck fairway wood off the tee will lead to a short iron or wedge to a flat green.

 

Hole #17 Par 4 352 yards

A short dogleg left, uphill par four. Any second shot hit to the front of the green will roll back down the hill. The green slopes middle to front with the back half being flat. A deep bunker guards the left side of the green.

 

Hole #18 Par 5 501 yards

This closing hole par five is straight away and can lead to a closing birdie. A flat green with a bunker on the left side will give you a great shot at birdie to finish your round.
