The par is 37 for the blue and white tees, and par is 35 for the red tees; the difference of two strokes in par is created with two holes (#4 &#038; #9) played as par-4\u2019s when playing from the forward tees as opposed to par-5\u2019s when played from either the middle or back tees.<\/p>\n<p>Old Top Farm Golf Course was designed by Randy Wirkus, who is also the owner. The course occupies property that was a former tree and sod farm, and while this land is an old farm, it is a relatively new course.<\/p>\n<p>Old Top Farm opened as a golf course in 1998; in 2008 the routing was changed to its present mapping. A favorable dichotomy of Old Top Farm is that even though its total par of 37 may conjure thoughts of OTF being a \u2018long\u2019 course, six of its holes are of relatively \u2018short-for-their-par\u2019 lengths. These six holes provide six birdie (or better) opportunities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":9375,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","listing-category":[1681],"list-tags":[2103,2104],"location":[1726,1692],"class_list":["post-20100","listing","type-listing","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","listing-category-public","list-tags-9-hole-facility","list-tags-illinois","location-crystal-lake","location-illinois"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chicagogolfreport.com\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing\/20100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chicagogolfreport.com\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chicagogolfreport.com\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chicagogolfreport.com\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chicagogolfreport.com\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20100"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chicagogolfreport.com\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.chicagogolfreport.com\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"listing-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chicagogolfreport.com\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing-category?post=20100"},{"taxonomy":"list-tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chicagogolfreport.com\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/list-tags?post=20100"},{"taxonomy":"location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.chicagogolfreport.com\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/location?post=20100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
