This straight forward hole offers a generous landing area and an opportunity to get off to a good start. A solid drive that avoids the out-of-bounds on the left will leave a short approach and a birdie opportunity. The green is small with subtle undulations.
From the back tees, this Par 3 will require an accurate long iron shot. The tee shot is played through an opening in a tree line and over a meandering creek. Out-of-bounds on the left helps protect this green which slopes from back to front.
A dog leg left Par 4 which follows a stream down the length of the fairway. Although the green is not visible, the longest hitters may attempt to cut the corner to reach it! Most players however will play to the center at the bend and leave themselves with a short iron to the green.
The longest Par 3 on the course can play as long as 250 yards over a creek and a lake! A slightly elevated green as well as a false front requires careful club selection. Front pin positions can be tricky and it is often better to chip up, than putt down.
This Par 4 features mounding on the left and right and out-of-bounds the entire length of the left side of the hole. A drive down the center to a flat lie will give a mid iron opportunity at a relatively flat green which slopes slightly from back to front. A small pond behind the green can come into play.
A great opportunity to score. This reachable Par 5 is a severe dog leg left which can either be played with a hook/slice or by cutting the corner over trees. A pond on the left protects this larger green on the approach. Missing the green long will leave a difficult lofted pitch to get up and down.
Watch the spin on this Par 3 as it slopes strongly from back to front. Putting will be a test here with a variety of pin placement options. Tee shots from the back tees must come through a narrow opening that does not accommodate drastic ball flights.
Swing away off the tee! Although the fairway narrows for the longest hitters who can drive the green, most players enjoy a large landing area and a short approach to the green. This large green is relatively flat but it also has subtle breaks and is often a challenge to lag putt. Think Birdie!
An elevated tee begins this enjoyable dog leg right Par 5. Keep to the left to avoid trees, a stream, and interior out-of-bounds on the right. The second shot is back up the hill and over a stream. Long hitters can reach the stream off the tee and the green on their second shot. Most players will have a wedge into this large sloping green. Look to make the turn on an upswing!
Distance control is key on this midrange Par 3. A very large apron lies in front of this green which can be visually deceiving. A significant fall off surrounding the green and thick grass can make for difficult up and downs and short sided situations. The green slopes from back to front.
The shape of this challenging Par 5 is an “S”. Long hitters must play a right to left tee shot and then a left to right approach to reach the green in two. Most players would be wise to lay up for a third shot into the green. The green is surrounded by trees, falls off on three sides, and has severe undulations. A wide range of scores can appear here.
A picturesque short Par 3 in the woods challenges the short game. A lake guards the left side of a green which slopes from back left to front right. Distance control can lead to birdies. Good short iron players… attack!
Reachable in two by most players, this Par 5 begins with an intimidating tee shot. Out of Bounds to the left and trees to the right demand accuracy from players from tee to green. A severely undulating green will challenge your short game with a variety of pin positions. This is a good place to pick up a stroke however.
This unique 90 degree dog leg right Par 4 requires a player to piece together two iron shots consecutively. Approach shots missing the green often find a stream that wraps around the left and back side of the green. Deceivingly, the green runs to the left.
Play the tee shot slightly right to left for the best look at this difficult green. Avoid missing the green long…avoid settling above the pin. Lofted pitch shots and difficult up and downs are common on this Par 4.
Go for the green but not beyond! The stream is in play long right. This reachable Par 4 tempts players of all abilities, but makes players earn their birdies and eagles. This green slopes front to back and left to right making putting, chipping, or pitching very challenging. Stay below the hole in order to take advantage of this opportunity.
Left to right is the play off the tee on this slight dog leg right Par 4. From the fairway, a mid to low iron shot can challenge this two tired green. Distance control is essential to avoid landing above the hole. There is a good chance for birdie when putting from the correct shelf.
This finishing Par 3 requires careful club selection. Use hole #10 as a guide, as these two holes nearly mirror each other. Be aware that wind conditions may be more severe than they feel due to the trees on the left. The green is favorable to ending the day with a Birdie if it is reached in regulation.
