How do you play the signature holes at Faribanks Ranch?
Hole 4 at Faribanks Ranch is a 441-yard par 4 that plays as the 1st-handicap hole. As the hardest-rated hole on the scorecard, treat par as a good score here — a bogey on hole 4 costs you less than a double made chasing a hero shot. At 441 yards, this long par 4 demands a solid tee shot in the fairway; if the approach is more than a mid-iron, playing for the front edge and a chip is smart. Local note: Toughest hole — 3W right, then 5i center-left; take your par and walk.
Hole 17 at Faribanks Ranch is a 457-yard par 4 that plays as the 13th-handicap hole. At 457 yards, this long par 4 demands a solid tee shot in the fairway; if the approach is more than a mid-iron, playing for the front edge and a chip is smart. Local note: 6i or 5i from ~190 — if using 6i, aim well right to account for big draw.
Hole 25 at Faribanks Ranch is a 627-yard par 5 that plays as the 9th-handicap hole. At 627 yards, this is a true three-shot hole for most players. Lay up to a full-wedge distance rather than forcing a long second toward trouble. This is the longest hole on the course, so discipline off the tee matters most here. Local note: Play it in three — 3W right, layup to 105 yards, 52° center, take par.
Hole 26 at Faribanks Ranch is a 180-yard par 3 that plays as the 17th-handicap hole. At 180 yards, club selection matters more than power: pick the club that covers the front of the green and swing within yourself. Local note: Smooth 5i, center aim — slight draw lands it pin-high, make the birdie.
