Kernwood Country Club

Salem, Massachusetts · 18 holes · par 70 · Private. Designed by Donald Ross, opened 1914.

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.

Course profile

Maps: tee at the bottom, green at the top. The dashed line is the mapped hole; the gold band is the lay-up zone; the arrow on the green points downhill.

• The fairway is about 40 yards wide at 222.
• Best lay-up: 70 to 110 yards from the green, where the fairway is about 24 yards wide with no bunkers or water within 16 yards.
• The green is guarded on the right by bunkers; miss left.
• Bunkers short of the green; take enough club to carry it.
• The green is 39 yards deep: a back pin can play about 3 clubs more than a front pin.

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.
