Gentlemen, let’s take a trip back to the 2024 golf trip and one of its standout courses: Tot Hill Farm. This isn’t your typical, run-of-the-mill layout. This is a Mike Strantz design, and if you’ve ever played Tobacco Road, you’ll recognize that same bold, artistic flair.
Tot Hill Farm is a course that demands your attention from the first tee. It’s a visual spectacle, and the challenges are just as striking. Strantz wasn’t afraid to push the boundaries, and the result is a course that’s both exhilarating and demanding.
Here’s a glimpse of what makes Tot Hill Farm so special:
- Strantzian Design: If you’re familiar with Tobacco Road, you’ll see the similarities immediately. Strantz’s signature is all over this course: dramatic elevation changes, wildly undulating fairways, and greens that are as much works of art as they are putting surfaces. Expect the unexpected.

- A Course That Asks Questions: Tot Hill Farm isn’t about bombing it off the tee and hoping for the best. This course makes you think. It tests your strategy, your club selection, and your ability to execute under pressure. Every shot demands a decision.
- Unforgettable Holes: You’ll walk away from Tot Hill Farm remembering specific holes. The par-3s are particularly memorable, often requiring forced carries over dramatic terrain. The par-5s offer risk-reward opportunities that can make or break your round.
- The 2024 Trip: Dennis struggled the most with his broken hand (Net 92) but everyone struggled (Best score was Jeff with a net 75).
Tot Hill Farm is more than just a golf course; it’s an experience. It’s a test of skill, a visual feast, and a course that will stay with you long after you’ve played your final round. It’s a course that embodies the spirit of the game and the artistry of Mike Strantz.
