Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The walk to the first tee at Beacon Hill Country Club is often met with stunning views of the New York City skyline, Sandy Hook, the Atlantic Ocean, and prO-Bably the stakes you’re playing for today. Hole number one is the first of an opening stretch with four par-four holes, each of which play as narrow as they look. The tee shot plays downhill, with out of bounds tightly down the left hand side,

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The par 4 second hole plays directly up Beacon Hill, making its distance play much longer than the card. The hole was straightened and lengthened in the course renovation completed in 2021. Shorter hitters must avoid a right fairway bunker, while longer hitters must stay right of the left bunker, but most every player will want to stay clear of the right treeline, which blocks most approaches to t

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The third hole is par four which plays downhill off the tee with a slight dogleg right on approach to the green. Longer players will want to play less than driver, unless they want to take on the pond in an effort to drive the green or greenside fairway beyond the treeline. Most will settle for hitting this narrow fairway well short of the pond, avoiding the right fairway bunker and treeline, leav

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee The fourth hole is the last of this punitive opening four-hole stretch, and it’s another that plays much longer than the yardage on the scorecard as you play directly up the hill. Players will try to avoid the trees on both sides off the tee, leaving an uphill lie approach. The wind almost always plays a factor on this approach, but the American Flag in the background will give the player a hint a

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The fifth hole is a welcome change of pace, as the course begins to open up while offering its first good scoring opportunity. It also begins a unique routing feature of Beacon Hill, as the fifth through ninth holes have pars of 5-3-5-3-3 to finish the front nine. The par 5 tee shot plays downhill to a fairway that slopes steeply from left to right at the beginning, then flattens out as it reaches

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee The sixth hole is the first of five par-threes on our golf course, and is located at the lowest elevation on the course. For a course which often is affected by wind, the sixth can be difficult to judge, as the hole is guarded by trees and elevation. The tee shot must carry two fescue mounds to a wide green, newly built in the recent renovation. The green is guarded to the right by a bunker, on th

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway Our seventh hole is the second par-five on the course, subtly playing back up Beacon Hill. The tee shot demands accuracy, as fescue lurks both right and left, along with left fairway bunkering. The longest hitters can reach the green with two very good shots, but this is a three-shot hole for most. The layup is a safe one, with a wide fairway area made wider by the left dogleg layout. Whether you

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee Beacon Hill’s eighth hole is the first of a back-to-back par-three finish on the front nine, a unique routing feature owing both the to limited land on which the course was originally built and the lack of strict routing rule during golf’s Golden Age. The eighth is nearly an Eden hole template, with a newer and less severe back-to-front green that was installed in the recent renovation. Playing st

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee A steep walk toward the clubhouse will lead to the ninth tee, which looks back down on the ninth hole, the second of back-to-back par threes. A classic “short hole” template, the hole requires a only short iron. Danger lurks nearly everywhere, with water long and right, bunkering surrounding everywhere but a narrow front-center corridor, and even out of bounds left. The classic design emphasizes a

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A difficult stretch of holes opens the back nine, beginning with the par-four tenth hole. Off the tee, players absolutely must avoid the water along the right. The hole’s signature tree on the right side of the fairway prevents hitting the green even from a lateral hazard drop. Longer hitters must also avoid fairway cross bunkering off the tee, a nod to the original course’s cross bunkering on the

From The Tee The par four eleventh hole is Beacon Hill’s road hole, a classic golf design template originating from the 17th at St Andrews. Bounded along the entire right side by Beacon Hill Road, the dogleg right eleventh hole offers two options off the tee – either cut the corner and risk out of bounds, or take the safer route further left, leaving a much longer and far more challenging approach.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The twelfth hole is the first of two consecutive par fives. An uphill tee shot between fairway bunkers is required, with out of bounds lurking left. But from there, the hole is even more challenging. The green is located 50 yards past the top of the fairway’s hill, created a completely blind approach for those going for the green in two. A well-executed layup will land short of the left and right

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The thirteenth hole is the second of the back to back par fives, contending with the opposite wind of the twelfth hole. A downhill tee shot must avoid the left creek, but otherwise a well-hit drive will offer the longer player to reach the green in two. Those laying up instead must navigate three fairway bunkers and an old carriage road creating a deep fairway trough 40 yards from the green. The g

Hole Name

From The Tee Consistently one of the most difficult holes on the course, the par three 14th hole at Beacon Hill typically requires a mid- to long-iron, or more, to a narrow, well-guarded green. Left of the green is a popular bail-out location, thanks to out of bounds, marked by Beacon Hill Road, which runs the entire right side of the hole.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway On the par four fifteenth hole, players must thread a drive between fescue on the rightside hill and fairway bunkers down the left side. Many players hit less than driver, preferring fairway accuracy over distance. The approach to a shallow, steeply-elevated green requires precise distance control. While the green is guarded only by elevation and frequent wind exposure, on the green itself, player

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee The par-four 16th hole is often where matches are won and lost. A driveable par four for longer hitters, players often go for the green off the tee, risking out of bounds long and left, as well as greenside bunkers built into the hill beneath the elevated green. The safer route is an easy and unguarded downhill tee shot downhill, and then a short iron uphill to the large, two-tired green. Approach

From The Tee The 17th hole is a par four that plays uphill, back across Beacon Hill Road. A safe and short drive just over the road will provide a flat lie but much longer distance to the green. A longer drive risks bunkers on the left and right and a severely sloped fairway, but a much shorter approach distance. Regardless of the club chosen, players must avoid the cavernous right greenside bunker and the ste

Located below the hillside where members often watch tournament matches, it can be a nervy finishing hole as well. At nearly two hundred yards from the back tees, players must hit a demanding tee shot to a green that is well-protected on the right by a deep bunker and creek.
