The Kingsley Club's golf course is designed, built, and maintained to take advantage of the unique landforms and remarkable soils of the site. The golf course is intended to play firm and fast to allow the contour of the ground to be an integral element of the play - the "rub of the green" may help or hurt you and the creative player will account for that and accept the challenge of golf similar to that of the links in the British Isles.
The par 71 course measures 6,900 yards from the back tees. Taking into consideration the additional yardage for 8 elevated greens and sloped fairways, it increases the playable yardage to an approximate 7,000 plus yards, depending on tee placements from time to time. Regular tees measure just under 6,300 yards. The fairway surfaces are Fescue grass. Only three highly regarded courses in America, including the Kingsley Club, feature Fescue grasses similar to those in Scotland and Ireland.
The greens are a combination of bent grass, forming a putting surface that is resilient, consistent in color and soft under foot, but fast with a Stimp meter range. Designed by Mike DeVries, the Kingsley golf course opened in 2001. Justin Mack, PGA manages the course as the General Manager.
