Buck Hill Golf Club aspires to provide a playing experience that is timeless and notably pure. The 27 holes that comprise the Red, White and Blue courses were not laid out to maximize home sites, but rather to take advantage of the natural terrain and to showcase the panoramic vistas. They are not measured by GPS, but by their classic subtleties, their masterful defense of par, and the memories they sear. A hotly contested match battled over the Blue nine that chases the sun and is not settled until the final putt is holed is the essence of golf at Buck Hill. Experience it, and you will have experienced history.
