Course Design

edit

The Home Course was designed by golf course architect Mike Asmundson, and opened for play in the summer of 2007. It is located on the site of a former dynamite manufacturing plant that was operated by the DuPont company, and after which the city of DuPont was named.[4] The Home Course has five different sets of tees ranging from 7,424 yards at the longest to 5,470 yards at the shortest.[5] The Home Course also has a set of tees for beginners, called the Little Home Course.
