Persimmon Woods Golf Club first opened for play in 1998. The course was designed by Keith Foster.
The Persimmon Woods Golf Ccourse has a variety of design styles. The front nine starts with a decidedly links-style feel. By No. 5, the course adds new challenges from the introduction of several creeks and lakes as well as changes in elevation. The finishing holes offer a park-like design routed through mature trees and rolling hills. Persimmon Woods stunning home hole, the par-5 No. 18, emerges from the trees, and offers golfers a dramatic downhill approach to a green perched just beyond a lake. The Persimmon Woods clubhouse serves as a backdrop at No. 18.
Persimmon Woods Golf Club measures from a friendly 4,914 yards from the front tees to a daunting 6,960 yards from the back tees and plays to a par-71 in regulation. With six sets of tees, this private oasis can accomodate all golf skill levels. With over 30 percent of the membership playing to single-digit handicaps, the pace of play is brisk. The Keith Foster-designed Persimmon Woods Golf Club is also a great walking course, with more than 45 percent of the rounds played by walkers.
