The Links at Firestone Farms — Local services in Fairfield Township

I’ve been wanting to play Firestone Farms again for the past two years. The course is so popular it can be a challenge to get a tee time you want. I was able to get an early morning weekday time and enjoyed it completely.

The layout and variety of holes are as good as any public course in the area. There are 5 sets of tees to challenge all different playing levels. I played the white tees listed at just over 6000 yards, but the course definitely played shorter than that as it was hard and fast (not burned out like many other courses) in the fairways due to lack of rain the past several weeks.

Recommend playing to the front of greens or even a yard or two short as you definitely get some forward bounce on most approach shots. There was little to no rough, or at least very short rough.

The downside to a course this good is that it does get a lot play, with that abundance of play comes greens that roll well but have more than a few pock marks and tee boxes that are rough in a few places.

What I appreciated the most about the course is that it makes you think about that 2nd shot, and not just grab your driver on every par 4 and par 5 tee shot.

The thank you email from the course later in the day for playing was a nice touch as well to top off the great service...

Quit going there because of 5 1/2 hour rounds and yesterday was no different. Got behind four young men who played it from the red tees, they could get the ball to the front tees then drove the cart in places where the cart would stall they then had to go backwards for a good while. Also, these four fools got down on their haunches to read every putt. Give it up boys, you have no idea how to read a putt standing or squatting. They fell 2 holes behind and we...
