Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course
About Fairchild Wheeler Golf Course
Fairchild Wheeler is home to two 18-hole courses, the Red and the Black.
The Red course plays 6,568 yards from the championship tees to a par of 72, with a course rating of 71.0 and a slope of 124. Accuracy off the tee is rewarded, leaving mid- to short-iron approaches, though the greens hold plenty of break and require careful reading.
The Black course measures 6,559 yards from the championship tees to a par of 71, with a course rating of 71.5 and a slope of 123. It runs across winding hills with scenic views, and its fairway and greenside bunkers have been renovated.
