It is located on the site of a former dynamite manufacturing plant that was operated by the DuPont company, and after which the city of DuPont was named.^[4] The Home Course has five different sets of tees ranging from 7,424 yards at the longest to 5,470 yards at the shortest.^[5] The Home Course also has a set of tees for beginners, called the Little Home Course.
