Description
The Franklin D. Roosevelt Golf Course, built in 1936, is a Florida-style layout, relatively flat and open. Wide fairways provide generous landing areas and large-sized greens are well guarded by numerous bunkers.
In addition to natural wetlands, a canal runs through the course and crosses the fairway of the 420-yard signature 10th hole. Overall, water hazards can come into play on a total of 10 holes. The golf course features magnificent views of the Philadelphia skyline that will serve as a backdrop on many shots.
The par-69 Franklin D. Roosevelt Golf Course measures 6,002 yards from the longest tees. The golf course rating is 68.7, with a slope rating of 113 on rye grass.
