Golf Course Tour
The East Aurora course has two faces: Front Nine: Hills; Back Nine: Swampland. The course requires physical and mental stamina, from the deep vale off the 1st tee to the ascent around the pond to 18 green. This layout does not demand long tee balls from its competitors, but rather an acute ability to manage one's game and temperament. Very few holes reward the long shot with the same penalty that threatens the wayward one. Bring accuracy and putting to East Aurora. Patience is required, as the first five holes present the player with as varied a beginning as can be imagined: Long 4 par, Short 3 par, Short 5 par, tremendously long 3 par, short astoundingly narrow par four.
Course Length

White .......... 6285 yards
Blue ............ 6531 yards
Survive this stretch and you will begin to understand the course: Do not expect the same on anything two consecutive times. Lies around the greens are rarely on the same level as is the flag, making the flat chip or pitch an anomaly. Short of the green is never a bad place to be, as long as you are in the fairway. East Aurora counts 5 3-pars (2,4,8,13,15), 9 4-pars (1,5,6,9,10,11,14,17,18), and 4 5-pars (3,7,12,16) on its scorecard.
Marshy land encroaches into the player's field of vision on 5 holes on the back nine, adding the threat of a murky demise to the already threatening reality of small greens, side hill stances and lies, sand and trees.
East Aurora Country Club is a wonderful test of golf, as evidenced by the quality field that disputes the International Junior Masters each year.
