The 1st hole at Ellington Ridge was renowned Architect Geoffrey Cornish's favorite starting hole. It is a dogleg right with a fairway bunker on the right corner. Putting the ball in the fairway is key to getting off to a good start.

The 2nd hole is a great risk reward par 5 for all types of players. There is a cluster of three bunkers that range from 100 to 150 yards from the green that all players must negotiate. Strategic planning is a must.

At first glance the 3rd hole looks easy but the green is slightly elevated and the depth of the green is only 60 feet, which makes for a difficult approach and tricky chip shot if you miss the green.

The 4th is well bunkered and has one of the best greens on the course. The swale on the left side presents difficult putting challenges and more than a few 3 putts over the years.

The 5th is par 5 with five fairway bunkers which create a lot of decisions for all players, especially the cross bunkers at about 100 yards. No player wants to hit that shot, so one must take great care to play away from them.

The beautiful setting on the 7th comes to mind when I think of this hole. The large pond is teeming with bass and other fish and water fowl. The green looks benign, but for most players it is difficult to read.

The 8th is a beautiful, uphill par 4 that plays longer than the yardage. The bunker located 30 yards short of the green can play havoc with shots that find it. The severely back-to-front sloping green is considered one of the most treacherous on the course.

The 9th is a long, beautiful dogleg left that required a good tee shot as the fairway tilts from left to right. The long second shot is uphill and has a nice setting with the clubhouse in the background.

A shortish par 4 that doglegs slightly to the left and the fairway slants to the right. The ball is usually below your feet on the approach shot. The green will make the best green reader scratch his head in disbelief.

The 11th is a long par 5 that has a swale that runs through the middle of the fairway at 140 yards from the green that forces a well calculated layup shot. The green has a double tier with a lot of good hole positions.

The best risk reward hole on the course is the 13th. A par 5 with a pond located 60 yards short of the green presents a major obstacle for all golfers. The large and sloping green is also one of the most difficult on the course.

The straightaway par 4 has a large green with a narrow opening between two bunkers to run the ball up. When the hole location is back it is difficult to get the ball to the hole.

The 15th is a downhill par 3 with a green ringed by bunkers. The hole ranges from 113 to 195 yards and is challenging from all tee locations. Anyone that has played tournament golf knows that the teeth of Ellington Ridge is in the last four holes.

The uphill, straightaway par 4 16th not only plays long, but also has one of the most difficult greens on the course. Keep it below the hole because 3 putts are a common occurrence.

A great finishing hole! This long uphill par 4 has determined a lot of championships in the history of Ellington Ridge. The hole is relentless from tee to green and the tough thing is that you can play it well and still walk off with a score higher than you thought you deserved.
