Farmington Fairways

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the absolute best time to play Farmington Fairways for ideal conditions?

You'll find Farmington Fairways at its peak from late spring through early fall. We personally love late August; the course is perfectly manicured, and the cooler air makes for comfortable rounds. You'll avoid the early season dampness and the late season chill, ensuring the best possible playing experience.

What's the biggest challenge at Farmington Fairways, and which hole should I look forward to?

The back nine's elevation changes are no joke, especially the uphill par-4 14th – it plays much longer than the yardage suggests, so club up. Our favorite, though, is the par-3 7th; it's a stunning downhill shot over a ravine to a well-guarded green, a real postcard moment you won't forget.

Does Farmington Fairways offer a unique natural experience beyond just golf?

Absolutely, the course is carved right into the Canadian wilderness, so expect more than just manicured greens. We've often spotted deer grazing near the fairways on the front nine, and the calls of loons from the bordering lake are a common soundtrack, especially in the early mornings. It's a truly immersive natural setting.

After a round at Farmington Fairways, where do you recommend we grab a bite or a drink nearby?

Skip the usual clubhouse fare and head into the nearby village – it's only a 10-minute drive. We always make a point to visit "The Rusty Putter Pub" for their incredible poutine and a local craft brew; it's got a great vibe and the perfect way to cap off your day.

How does the green fee at Farmington Fairways compare to other quality Canadian courses, and is it worth it?

Farmington Fairways sits comfortably in the mid-range for Canadian championship courses, offering excellent value for the quality of play and the stunning natural setting. We think it's absolutely worth the investment, especially considering the immaculate conditioning and the memorable layout you experience.
