Beechtree is a par 71 with four sets of tees, stretching from 5,363 yards to 7,023 yards.The strong par-36 front nine plays over open, rolling pasture land. Natural streams and two large ponds come into play on six of the holes. The back nine weaves through tall hardwoods and includes a variety of natural hazards. There are no uninteresting holes, no gimmicks here.'Tom Doak superbly mixes links-style and parkland features for a course ranked among the region's premier publics...' states the Washington Times. Bold hazards, such as the jagged bunkering and native grasses that are trademarks of Beechtree, confront and interest the best players but allow a way around for the player not up to the challenge. Most holes and green complexes offer a safe side that lures good players to play safe and, says Doak, 'puts the meek in their proper place between the mighty and the foolish.'The result - Beechtree presents an honest, enjoyable, if formidable, test of a player's talents.
