Changes to Maple Hill Course in 2025
An iconic course design with ever evolving, diabolical tweaks.
Hole 9 Diamond Tee: The FPO field will have a much more sensible approach to the landing zone and we are excited to see if it makes them more aggressive on their second shots.

- Hole 1 = making the iconic green more wicked. New green shape on hole 1A – It is now shaped like an L and goes about 80 feet straight in and the then about 50 feet right. Just out of bounds on the inner corner is a wonderful oak tree that makes attacking the pin from outside Chipmunk Gate (the triple mando) very challenging. Now more room for spectators around the green and an amazing area from which to watch between fairway and green.
- Hole 9 = new tee for FPO. Diamond Tee has been shifted significantly. It is now on same fairway as the new Gold Tee, which moved in 2023. It is now about 120 feet in front of the Gold Tee. The FPO field will have a much more sensible approach to the landing zone and we are excited to see if it makes them more aggressive on their second shots.
- Hole 10 = shortened tee position for MPO. Gold Tee has been moved. It is now a shorter shot that requires a straighter approach to the pin. More players will be able to reach the basket for the birdie, and going for it will cause more mishaps off the tee. There is also a much expanded spectator area for viewing the tee shots.
- Hole 17 = lengthened tee position for MPO and shortening it for FPO. Gold Tee has moved about 100 feet back, giving hole 17 real teeth. At the Spring A-Tier, the Cosmic Open, it played as the second hardest hole on the Gold layout. Diamond tee: FPO will be playing a par 3 pin placement on hole 17 straight up the hill.
- Hole 18 = lengthening tee position for FPO. Diamond layout will be playing the Gold Tee on hole 18 as a par 5. There was previously no real scoring separation on the hole 18 par 4 as the risk of going for the green was not worth the reward until days 3 & 4.
