The History of Lyman Orchards
Lyman Orchards was established in 1741 by John Lyman. It started as a small family farm that grew apples and peaches. Over time, the farm expanded to include other fruits such as pears, plums, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and more. In 1969, Robert C. Lyman decided to convert part of his family's farmland into a golf course.
Today, Lyman Orchards has two championship courses - The Jones Course designed by legendary architect Robert Trent Jones Sr., which opened in 1969; and The Player Course designed by Gary Player which opened in 1994.
The Jones Course
The Jones Course at Lyman Orchard is an 18-hole championship course that spans over 6,800 yards from the back tees with a par of 72. This course features rolling hills with stunning views of orchard trees throughout its layout.
One unique feature about this course is that it has five sets of tees on each hole making it suitable for players of all skill levels - from beginners to professionals.
The Player Course
The Player Course at Lyman Orchard is also an 18-hole championship course that spans over 7,000 yards from the back tees with a par of 71. This course features water hazards on several holes making it more challenging than The Jones Course.
This course was designed by Gary Player who incorporated his signature style into its layout - undulating greens surrounded by bunkers giving players an opportunity to showcase their short game skills.
