FACT SHEET
Atunyote Golf Club

Atunyote (uh-DUNE-yote) is an Oneida word that means “eagle.”

The acclaimed venue is the permanent home of The Turning Stone Resort Championship, an official PGA TOUR event. The second edition of the tournament is scheduled for Sept. 29 - Oct. 5, 2008.

Atunyote is the home course of Notah Begay III, a four-time winner on the PGA TOUR.

The parkland course is highlighted by spacious fairways, large undulating greens and steep-faced bunkers that are hallmarks of a Fazio design. Other notable features include a preserved deadwood marsh, a rock formation, and several lakes, streams and waterfalls. The largest body of water, measuring 13 acres, runs along three fairways including the dramatic finishing hole.

The property is located in a secluded setting several miles from resort, creating the ambiance of an upscale country club. Guests enter the property through a custom designed and crafted iron gate, and then traverse a winding two-mile entryway passing along portions of the course, wetlands and forested areas.

The memorable golfing experience begins and ends at the New England-style Clubhouse, which is meticulously appointed to provide both luxury and comfort. It houses the players' lounge, locker facilities, pro shop, restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating overlooking the course, and a private dining/meeting area.

The site also includes a practice area with driving range and short game area.

The course has five tee options, ranging from approximately 5,100 yards to more than 7,300 yards.
