While the front nine has a traditional back-and-forth layout, the same cannot be said for the back nine, where you will find three of Bing Maloney’s signature holes. First, the par-4 No. 10, a 386-yard hole with a wonderful dogleg left that will force the crucial choice between your driver and your 3-wood. Next up, the 515-yard, par-5 No.11, where making the shot between ever prominent oak trees will challenge one and all. Finally, the most famous, No. 12, whose pin is guarded by a notorious ancient oak and two wonderfully placed bunkers just before the green.

Bing Maloney Golf Course is also home to the seven-time winner of Gold Digest’s Top 100 golf shops. But perhaps it’s not gear you need, but rather practice and instruction; Bing Maloney excels here as well, offering a driving range, chipping green, sand bunker and putting area to touch up on your swings.

Golf is not the only thing Bing Maloney Golf Course is known for, as the grille is renowned as well. Whether it is the famous breakfast burrito, the juicy burgers or the savory Philly cheesesteak, you will surely enjoy the food here before or after your round of golf.
