Considerable elevation changes and two large natural lakes, characterize this challenging layout. Wide fairways meander gently through woods and fields while stunning views of the Stormville Mountain range add to the ambiance. A traditional classic design with sculptured bunkers and large rolling greens, the course looks as though it's been in place for a hundred years. This is no accident because
Branton Woods Golf Club was built with every effort to preserve the natural wildlife and cause no disruption to the native environment. The result is a true championship golf course that is tailored to challenge golfers of all levels. |

Each of the 18 holes has it's own unique character and setting, making it difficult to highlight one over another, but our par fives are particularly strong! The fourth at 525 yards is reachable but the second shot must be hit up hill to a plateau guarded by a large deep bunker. Both the 9th and the 18th holes rendezvous at the clubhouse and are connected by a large practice green creating one of the largest greens complexes in the world. The back-to-back par 5, 14th and 15th holes are particularly memorable. The 14th at 525 yards is reachable and offers a possible birdie but is well protected by trees and strategically placed bunkers. At the 600 yard 15th, most players will be happy with par, which is a score well protected by the hole's length and the fact that one of our 3 lakes come into play. Even on the player's third shot the target is very narrow, demanding an accurate iron shot before giving up a par! |

The course features the finest bent grass greens, offering the purest putting surface possible while blue grass, fescue, and Indian grass line the rough and transition areas. Our five sets of tees allow golfers, regardless of ability, to enjoy the course from the tee best suited for their game. ' Branton Woods will be the equal of any golf course in the Empire Golf portfolio' says course architect and owner Eric
Bergstol. 'A round at Branton Woods will challenge a golfer's ability, and certainly deliver a memorable day of golf for the public golfer who is looking for the first-class treatment of a private country club experience'. |
