Fort Washington Golf Country Club

Fresno, California · 18 holes · par 72 · Private. Designed by William Watson, opened 1923.

A caddie's yardage book for every hole: plays-like distance from USGS lidar elevation, reach and carry numbers for every bunker and water hazard, green front, middle and back, which way each green falls, and the lay-up zone on par 5s. Distances are from the back tees along the mapped hole; for a shorter tee, take off the scorecard difference.

Green size

Fairway

In play

  • 2 bunkers right: 226 to reach, 254 to carry
  • Bunker left: 233 to reach, 264 to carry
  • Bunker left: 283 to reach, 303 to carry
  • Bunker front of the green

Playing notes

  • Hazards on both sides of the fairway from 226 yards; a tee shot that finishes short of 226 keeps them out of play.
  • The fairway is about 22 yards wide at 238.
  • Best lay-up: 70 to 170 yards from the green, where the fairway is about 22 yards wide with no bunkers or water within 16 yards.
  • Bunkers short of the green; take enough club to carry it.

Playing notes

  • Fairway bunkers on the left: 246 to reach, 275 to carry. Drives that finish short of 246 stay clear; otherwise the right side is the safer line off the tee.
  • The fairway is about 32 yards wide at 231 and narrows to 21 at 281.
  • Hazards guard both sides of the green; aim for the middle.

Hole maps, hazards and playing notes come from mapped course data and USGS 3DEP elevation (public domain), not a visit. Plays-like numbers use the Skitty caddie's rule of one yard per 3 ft of rise, from the longest tee; altitude uses 1.16% of carry per 1,000 ft. Tees, hazards and conditions change; check with the course before you play. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL 1.0) via OpenGolfAPI. Scorecard yardages and ratings as published.
