Patriot Golf Club opened for play in 2010. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.
The diversity of the terrain is unique. Views that stretch 30-miles, virgin forests, jagged limestone walls that climb to heights of 150-feet. The layout seamlessly transitions through four distinct landforms: limestone canyon, lowlands meadow, uplands prairie and woodlands.
The course starts from a launchpad tee 140 feet above the fairway floor of a par 5 routed through a canyon. Heading to the second tee, the land opens up so that the fairway spills out into a vast meadow. The course ascends gradually, weaves back through rugged canyon, and at the eighth hole again transitions into open prairie. The par-4 12th takes golfers from woodlands at the tee and fairway back to limestone outcrops at the green.
Each hole was named in honor of a famous patriot. No. 1, for instance, is George Washington. No. 18 is Dwight David Eisenhower. It's unusual in that it has 19 holes because play will alternate between two par-3 No 6s — 6A and 6B. The golf club is the vision of Dan Rooney, an F16 fighter pilot for the Air National Guard and PGA golfer and is a partnership with the Folds of Honor Foundation.
Three tee times daily set aside for one-time public access at $150 per player, with 10 percent donated to Folds of Honor.
