HOLE-BY-HOLE INFO

1st Hole

Par 4 · 410

Pro’s Tip:
It is very appropriate that this magnificent course starts off with the stunning par 4. It sits at one of the higher elevations on the property and looks down the steep hill leading from the Manor House with the Shenandoah Mountains in the background. The golfer faces a hole dropping nearly 100 feet in elevation from tee to green, so it will play a lot shorter than its measured length. The tee shot is straight down hill to a generous landing area, with trees lining both sides. Players will likely face a down hill lie to a generous green that slopes left to right with trouble right in the form of two large bunkers, and a steep drop off the back of the green, into the trees. This hole will be spectacular in the spring with hundreds of dogwoods, redbuds and serviceberry trees on every side, giving it the look of Augusta National.

Tee 2: 386

Tee 3: 360

Tee 4: 339

Tee 5: 306

2nd Hole

Par 4 · 383

Pro’s Tip:
A fairway wood off the tee and a medium to short iron into this green should provide many birdie opportunities.

Tee 2: 337

Tee 3: 313

Tee 4: 267

Tee 5: 228

3rd Hole

Par 3 · 163

Pro’s Tip:
Here, players will be challenged to hit a precise shot from an elevated tee to a rock walled green nestled around a natural lake supporting numerous water birds and wildlife. There is no life for the player that tries to go at a left pin placement on the "L" shaped green. Behind the green, grabbing any shots over the back, the wayward golfer will find two large bunkers. Scenery abounds on this natural beauty.

Tee 2: 139

Tee 3: 126

Tee 4: 108

Tee 5: 96

4th Hole

Par 4 · 383

Pro’s Tip:
The fourth hole at Belmont is a deceptively long par 4. At only 377 yards from the tips, it climbs from the lower wetlands some 65 feet in elevation. From a landing area protected by several fairway bunkers, players will face a somewhat hidden shot with a medium to long iron into an elevated, well-bunkered green with numerous trees in the background. Suggestion: Take four and move very quickly to the next tee.

Tee 1: 383

Tee 2: 357

Tee 3: 318

Tee 4: 274

Tee 5: 266

5th Hole

Par 5 · 558

Pro’s Tip:
A 554 yard par 5 with a tee shot out of the pines and hardwoods to a landing area guarded by one tremendous fairway bunker on the right. From this landing area, the fairway drops gradually some 45 feet to a second landing area just short of a meandering stream in front of the green. The third shot, or for the brave, the second shot, over the ravine to an elevated smallish green benched into the hill with two greenside bunkers, will be a test for even the best player.

Tee 1: 558

Tee 2: 524

Tee 3: 512

Tee 4: 454

Tee 5: 413

6th Hole

Par 4 · 449

Pro’s Tip:
Every shot on this hole will be a challenge. Number 6 will be one of the toughest holes on the golf course and likely one of the toughest in Loudoun County. On this 444 yard twisting par 4, golfers tee off over a small ravine, to an elevated fairway climbing to a pinnacle amid hundred year old specimen oaks on both sides. It then makes a sharp turn left, down the hill, to a large undulating green that has an imposing lake on the right hand side and massive wetland over the back. A long, accurate tee shot will be the key to low scores. Any number is possible on this hole.

Tee 1: 449

Tee 2: 429

Tee 3: 341

Tee 4: 318

Tee 5: 288

7th Hole

Par 4 · 454

Pro’s Tip:
Though just slightly longer – and also doglegging left, number 7 is very different than the sixth. Players will be teeing off from a meadow like setting to a fairway sloping right to left in the direction of the dogleg. A natural wooded wetland traversing the entire left side crosses in front of the approach area and tranquilly and menacingly sits to the right of the green waiting for any errant shots. On the approach shot players will be looking at anything from fairway wood to short iron into an elevated green, well bunkered on both sides. This hole might make you feel like taking up bowling. Maybe the most natural hole on the Belmont course.

Tee 1: 454

Tee 2: 424

Tee 3: 382

Tee 4: 335

Tee 5: 304

8th Hole

Par 3 · 203

Pro’s Tip:
Although this hole lacks the spectacular of the previous seven, it will challenge all who try to tame her. Players will be hitting from a slightly elevated tee slightly uphill to a fairly narrow putting surface. The bunker to the front right of the green will almost certainly ensure a bogey for all who venture into it. Once on the putting surface, the fun really begins, with a large ridge cutting through the middle of the green and subtly sloping from back to front. With the green speeds Belmont will be noted for, you may want to carry a light putter with feathers on the face to cushion the stroke.

Tee 1: 203

Tee 2: 184

Tee 3: 161

Tee 4: 151

Tee 5: 124

9th Hole

Par 5 · 542

Pro’s Tip:
This will be a three shot par 5 for even the big hitters. A 540 yard uphill, gradual dogleg right through gentle slopes and majestic old oak trees, to an extremely well-bunkered green. Although this hole is one of the few on the course presenting an opportunity for a well played birdie, it is not for the careless. Shots must stay within the corridors our risk out-of-bounds on both sides through the rough. The closely mown areas left of the green will require some imaginative shots to an undulating green.

Tee 1: 542

Tee 2: 528

Tee 3: 510

Tee 4: 455

Tee 5: 400

10th Hole

Tee 2: 424

Tee 3: 407

Tee 4: 0

Tee 5: 0

11th Hole

Par 4 · 227

Pro’s Tip:
When a top amateur was asked if he would rather commit "hari kari" or play the eleventh again, he remarked, "Pass me the knife!" If you par this hole, you will have something to tell your grandchildren. This is a very intimidating par 3 possessing length, vast bunkering, heavy undulation and an elevated green. Play will be with a fairway wood or long iron across a large valley, ideally brought in high to carry the behemoth bunker in front and still hold the green. A bogey is nothing to be ashamed of on this hole.

Tee 1: 227

Tee 2: 196

Tee 3: 184

Tee 4: 156

Tee 5: 135

12th Hole

Par 4 · 435

Pro’s Tip:
This natural beauty is a straightforward hole that slopes gradually away from the tees toward the green so it plays slightly shorter than its 440 yards. The tee shot should be played to the right side of the fairway to negotiate the large bunker complex jutting into the landing area 250 yards from the back tee. The second shot is played into a very large, well bunkered green.

Tee 1: 435

Tee 2: 397

Tee 3: 367

Tee 4: 354

Tee 5: 320

13th Hole

Par 5 · 588

Pro’s Tip:
Three very well played shots will be required to be afforded a birdie opportunity as thirteen plays to every bit of its 585 yards. With large bunkers on the right effecting the tee shot and also the second, players must consider favoring the left side of the hole, leaving little room for error as wetlands and tributaries run its entire length. The third shot is a classic "Kodak moment". Players are required to carry the boulder-strewn stream just in front of the green to a putting surface split by a small tier in the middle. This green is cut into a small hillside surrounded by large imposing hardwoods. Three small bunkers and some severe contours await any who over club and go long. "Take a five and a color photo and move on".

Tee 1: 588

Tee 2: 551

Tee 3: 518

Tee 4: 475

Tee 5: 417

14th Hole

Par 4 · 412

Pro’s Tip:
This sleeper of a par 4 is the farthest point from the clubhouse and sits at the lowest point of the entire property. At only 411 yards and dropping 20 ft. tee to green, it will lull you into thinking its easy and safe. However, you will find a fairway that isn’t as generous in width as some other holes and a stunning green surrounded on three sides with water for all shots long, left and right. Over clubbing is not advisable. Spend more time practicing mid-irons for shots like these.

Tee 1: 412

Tee 2: 389

Tee 3: 353

Tee 4: 344

Tee 5: 304

15th Hole

Par 4 · 444

Pro’s Tip:
This hole has bragging rights to one of the prettiest settings on the golf course. Once players have putted out on number 14, they will travel across a high wooded bridge over the largest lake at Belmont and arrive at the tees to tackle this long, 447 yard par 4. The tees sit along the edge of the kae amid large pines and hardwoods. Players hit over a large finger of the lake to an up hill landing area, careful to avoid the large bunker complex on the left. If one wants to challenge the right side of the hole off the tee, a wetland stream that meanders the entire hole should be considered. Once at the landing area, you are faced with a long iron into the most confining and intimidating shot on the golf course over the same wetland stream now forking right and left, creating an "island" green amidst its banks. There is no running shots up to this green with the wetland in front, so, for the short hitter, it would make sense to lay up and chip on to attempt a well-earned par.

Tee 1: 444

Tee 2: 416

Tee 3: 409

Tee 4: 377

Tee 5: 320

16th Hole

Par 3 · 190

Pro’s Tip:
Just when you’re thinking it couldn’t get any better, you get to sixteen. At 188 yards, this par 3 could elicit any score because of the vast bunkering around it. Players will be hitting to an elevated green cut into the hillside, with four enormous bunkers and large berms framing its backside. The entire hole is surrounded by various species of native trees buffering the golfer from the outside world.

Tee 1: 190

Tee 2: 173

Tee 3: 164

Tee 4: 122

Tee 5: 94

17th Hole

Par 4 · 414

Pro’s Tip:
As you step up to tee off on seventeen, you will be filled with appreciation for nature by the way this hole embraces the best of Belmont, wrapping around wetlands on the left hand side the entire length of the hole. Intermeshed in the wetlands are grand oaks and Virginia White Pines. Once at the landing area, most are faced with a shot of mid-iron length to a green protected by a large bunker right and a forked stream left. When looking at the green, the golfer will see several subtle plateaus feeding from back to front and right to left. You will enjoy this hole so much; the score really does not matter.

Tee 1: 414

Tee 2: 395

Tee 3: 389

Tee 4: 369

Tee 5: 277

18th Hole

Par 5 · 509

Pro’s Tip:
The finishing hole will reward good play with a birdie opportunity or leave you with a bad taste in your mouth. As the shortest of the par 5’s at 508 yards big hitters will try to get home in two, but should be wary, as all may not be as it seems. The tee shot should be navigated between large trees on both sides of the hole into a narrow landing area. The second shot is uphill to an extremely well bunkered green that sits amid several large berms. Anything over, left or right is a sure bogey. However, for the golfer who plays the shots as designed, a walk to the clubhouse having just made birdie will leave you wanting to come back for more on this awesome track. The 18th is a match play golfer’s dream - "do I or don’t I"?
