1.1. Background

Fairchild Wheeler offers two challenging 18 hole golf courses. The Red Golf Course demands accurate tee shots which will leave most golfers with mid to short irons for their approach shots.

Don’t let that fool you because the Red Golf Course has tough greens that will make most golfers double and triple check the breaks.

The Red Golf Course features 6,568 yards of golf from the Championship Tees for a par 72. The course rating is 71.0 and the slope is 124.

The Black Golf Course features 6,559 yards of golf from the Championship Tees for a par 71.

The course rating is 71.5 and the slope is 123. The Black course has beautiful winding hills, great scenic views and delivers a challenge with newly renovated fairway and greenside bunkers.

Besides Two Great Golf Courses, Fairchild Wheeler has so much more to offer. Fairchild

Wheeler is home of the First Tee of Metropolitan New York and Nike Junior Summer Golf

Camps. The Golf Shop is fully stocked and the wide open driving range allows you to hit short irons up to your driver. After playing 9 holes stop by Vazzy’s snack bar for a quick bite or enjoy a few drinks and some happy hour pizza in Tommy’s grill after your round.
