The Tom Fazio-designed Hasentree Golf Club harkens back to simpler times, a straight-forward layout where shot value, course management, and a deft touch around the greens are key components. The 7,074-yard, par-71 layout offers relatively wide fairways for a relaxing feeling with driver in hand, but Fazio strategically places 88 steep-faced bunkers in landing areas, tucks them around corners of doglegs and close to slick, sloping greens to test golfer’s skill levels as they play against a backdrop of beautifully framed holes.
“Hasentree has its own character and elements not found in some of my other courses,” Fazio said. “It has its own style, with 18 strong, hard golf holes. There are a variety of settings for golf holes at Hasentree, up-and-down, right-and-left – the total package, which gives it that distinct North Carolina beauty.”
Fazio begins the Hasentree round with a 466-yard par-4 that immediately grabs the attention of golfers and closes with an uphill 472-yarder that plays longer than measured. In between, one of the game’s most respected architects challenges players to keep their minds sharp and game under control to score well.
