1The first hole is a straightforward par four, playing up the hill and away from the Clubhouse.The real challenge here is the green, a word to the wise stay below the hole.2The second hole, playing five hundred sixty-six yards from the blue tees is one of two par fives featured on the Tillinghast layout. Getting on in three is certainly achievable; ho3The third hole is a relatively short par four. It features a blind tee shot, and you certainly can make it a difficult hole if you do not hit a precise tee shot.4The first of four par threes that you will find here at the Roost, the fourth hole has a large puttingsurface, and is very well protected, featuring five bunkers that surround the green.5This slight dogleg right on the fifth is one of the more challenging holes on the golf course.A straight tee ball is a must. Also, stay out of the rough on the right side of the fairway; it is some of the thickest on the entire golf course.The green is also protected, and features some severe breaks, once again stay below the hole if it at all possible.6Hole number six is a dogleg left, playing three hundred forty-seven yards from the blue tees.It is not the longest hole you will find at the Roost, but it features a tough second shot into a double tiered green. Do not miss short, or the ball will be coming back to you, le7Arguably the toughest hole on the golf course, the seventh plays four hundred twenty-three yards from the blue tees.Two characteristics make the seventh hole the number one handicap hole. First, it is very easy to block yourself out on the right side, thus leaving you no clear shot to the green;8This downhill par three can be difficult from the back tees; the right club selection and a straight tee ball gets you on the green.The eighth green features grain that runs away from you towards the back of the green, thus leading to a lot of misread putts.9A solid finishing hole for the front nine, this dogleg left par four requires a straight tee shot, a slight draw is ideal.The green is challenging, if you are going to miss, miss short and whatever you do, don't miss long, we call that "jail."10It looks to be a very simple par three, but you will soon find out the tenth is a very tough green to hit.The green is very well protected by bunkers on both sides. You cannot miss "Charlie Murphy's" pot bunker starring you in the face from the tee, it can be found just short of the gr11The eleventh hole at the Roost demands that you hit two solid shots to get home in regulation.The fairway is wide, and usually wet, thus making this up hill par four even longer. Depending on the conditions, the second shot will require you to take one-to-two extra club lenThe green is no treat either, if you miss you are going to want to miss short.12If you can hit a draw with your driver, then the twelfth hole is where you are going to want to do it.This is the number two handicap hole and demands a long tee ball. The green is usually quite firm, and slopes away from you, good advice here is to take a club less into the green.13After making it through the gauntlet of ten, eleven, and twelve, you come to the three hundred fifty yards, par four thirteenth. You are thinking, 'how hard can this be?'? but if y14The fourteenth is the second par five on the Roost layout.A straight tee shot is ideal, as the fairway tightens up about three hundred yards down the hole. You can very easily block yourself out on both sides, thus making it a real challeHowever, if you can hit a straight tee ball, your goal on the second shot should be to get it across the cart path. If you make that, you are staring at a one hundred to one hundre15This spectacular par three is the 'signature hole'? at Wolferts Roost.

The green is protected by one very well-placed bunker on t16The sixteenth provides another very short par four that can lead to prO-Blems if you do not hit a couple good golf shots.This three hundred thirteen-yard par four should be a walk in the park, however, an inaccurate tee shot can lead to trouble. Out-of-bounds runs the length of the hole on the left-hThe green is arguably the toughest green on the entire golf course; this is quite a compliment because the Roost features a handful of 'tough greens’. Whatever you do, do not all17The seventeenth is a solid par four which features an uphill dogleg left. It plays a lot longer than three hundred sixty-eight yards.A straight tee shot here is just what the doctor ordered, and is critical if you want to escape with a par. The second shot consists of an uphill shot into a green, which once agai18The eighteenth tee gives you one of the most breathtaking views on the whole course.From the tee, you look straight ahead at the magnificent Clubhouse; you also get a great view of the Hudson Valley and the beautiful mountain ranges in the backdrop.
