About the Course
Canton's vision of building a world class, community golf facility was realized when Pheasant Run Golf Club opened its doors in 1995. The now mature and pristine 27-hole layout, designed by Arthur Hills, will put your skills to the test.
The course encompasses over 300 acres of manicured turf, natural wetlands, woodland areas, and native grasses, designed to be played by all. Arthur Hills states "we created large landing areas off the tee but tightened things up after the drive with water hazards and marshes."
You will find five sets of tee boxes that can play from 5,006 yards to 7,138 yards from the tips. Play all the way back and you'll find a course rating of 75.4 and slope of 143, ranking it among the most difficult in the state. The golf course can play very challenging for your better player, but is also extremely playable for the average to below average player, making it the perfect course for all players. Pheasant Run prides itself on having some of the best greens around, known to be true and fast.
