Fire Ridge Golf Course - Millersburg, Ohio

Hole 1            Par 5          488 yards
The best play is a driver off the tee. Long hitters may be able to get home in two. A pond protects the front of the green and a bunker guards the right side. The green slopes severely from back to front.

Hole 2            Par 3           210 yards
An extra club is needed for the tee shot. Deep bunkers guard the front of the green and there is a bunker hidden on the right side of the green. Any shot left will run down a steep bank. The green is large and receptive.

Hole 3            Par 4           341 yards
The fairway slopes left to right. The green is protected by a large tree on the left side, and any shot missing the green to the right is trouble. Best angle to the green is from the right side of the fairway.

Hole 4            Par 4           438 yards
Putting your tee shot in the fairway is critical on the toughest hole on the golf course. After hitting a good drive you are still faced with a fairway wood or long iron into a narrow green.

Hole 5            Par 4           359 yards
A split fairway slopes towards the pond in front of the green. Any tee shot over 210 yds. may run into the pond. A pond and a deep bunker protect the front and left side of the green. If you need to bail out it is safe on the right side, but it will leave you with a tough chip to get you up and down.

Hole 6           Par 5          466 yards
The fairway slopes from right to left. Long hitters may be able to reach the green in two. The last 100 yds. of the fairway are protected by bunkers on the left side. Shots to the right of the green will run to the hole, but be careful there is a bunker that will catch your shot. The green is long and has two levels.

Hole 7           Par 3           110 yards
This is the smallest green on the course; however, it is the most protected. Bunkers surround the small green and make the tee shot challenging.

Hole 8           Par 4           325 yards
The tee shot requires length and accuracy to carry the pond. If you choose to lay up, a long iron or wood will be used to reach the green on the second shot. The second shot is up hill to a green that is protected by several bunkers. The green is long and narrow and any shot left will run down a bank.

Hole 9           Par 4           324 yards
A driver off the tee leaves a short shot to the green. The second shot will be from a steep up hill lie. The green is surrounded by mounds and anything long may go out of bounds.

Hole 10         Par 3        119 yards
This short hole has one of the larger greens. You will need to hit an extra club to go for a pin in the back of the green. If you miss the green long you will be out of bounds, and if you miss the green right your ball wil run down a hill.

Hole 11          Par 4        267 yards
Hitting a driver off the tee will leave you with a short shot to the hole and long hitters may be able to drive the green. Pot bunkers line the right side of the fairway. The green is wide, but not very deep.

Hole 12         Par 4        324 yards
To avoid the cliff at the end of the fairway, a tee shot of no more than 160 yards is required. Any shot going further than that may go over the cliff. Because of the elevation take one less club for the second shot. Bunkers and water surround the green.

1/8 mile cart ride to 13 tee

Hole 13        Par 4        314 yards
A driver off the tee will leave a short shot to the green, but be careful not to go into the hidden bunker on the left side of the fairway. Any shot flying over the green may go out of bounds.

Hole 14        Par 3        123 yards
The green is surrounded by rocks and sand. Any ball left of the green will run into the high grass and may be lost. If the pin is in the back of the green, an extra club is needed. The green is narrow, has two levels, and slopes severely from back to front.

Hole 15        Par 4        295 yards
A tee shot of more than 160 yards will run into a creek at the end of the fairway. Long hitters will be able to go for the green with the tee shot. The green is tucked around a small dogleg and hidden behind trees.

Hole 16        Par 4        325 yards
There are two fairways to choose from, separated by a grove of trees. By taking the left fairway you can cut off a lot of the distance. The green is elevated and tucked behind bunkers, which makes it hard to hit the green.

Hole 17        Par 5        415 yards
The safest shot is short of the big ravine. Any shot that carries the ravine may wind up in a second smaller ravine. The fairway is sloped from right to left. The longer hitters may choose to go for the well-protected green in two. The long and narrow green is tucked behind trees and a bunker stretches the length of the green.

Hole 18       Par 5        420 yards
A tee shot down the left side should go around 220 yds. Any shot that is pushed right may wind up in the creek that cuts through the fairway. The long hitters may be able to reach the green in two. Several bunkers protect the green and if you miss the green to the left your ball will be lost.
