HoneyPond Golf Course
The Field of Dreams
In the summer of 2013 we added a unique and intriguing new feature to the Honey Pond experience. We converted an adjacent hay field beyond the South Green into a cornfield..."Field of Dreams".
We built Tee#23, situated on an elevated rise in the middle of the Cornfield
allowing the golfer a clear view of the shot over the corn.
For this challenging 584 yard par 5, the long hitters will be tempted to reach the fairway
beyond Amen Creek...a drive of at least 240 yards.
The strategic players will find safety short of the creek between 170 to 210 yards.
However, a strategic shot brings 3 bunkers into play
and leaves approximately 380 yards to the target North Green.
All players will have to negotiate 2 creeks, a marsh, multiple bunkers and 3 ponds.
Field of Dreams is Hole #8 and is the #1 Handicap hole.

Tee #23
This Google Earth shot illustrates the distance and the hazards
that a player needs to negotiate between Tee #23 and the North Green.
The shot above, taken with a zoom lens,
looks south towards the Field of Dreams
from the perspective of Tee#11 just above the target North Green.
