Course Design

The Home Course was designed by golf course architect Mike Asmundson, and opened for play in the summer of 2007. It is located on the site of a former dynamite manufacturing plant that was operated by the DuPont company, and after which the city of DuPont was named. [4] The Home Course has five different sets of tees ranging from 7,424 yards at the longest to 5,470 yards at the shortest. [5] The Home Course also has a set of tees for beginners, called the Little Home Course.

It was most recently redesigned in 1996 by Arnold Palmer. The golf course and clubhouse were developed in conjunction with The Highlands, an adjacent residential development.

Membership can be obtained only by invitation "through the sponsorship of Active members."
