  • Hole 1

    Par 4

    Hole number one is a 389-yard Par 4 with a slight dog leg right. A bunker sits at the right center of the fairway that blocks a player’s ideal line to the favored landing zone. Aim for the left of said bunker to set yourself up with a nice second shot from the fairway onto a green that is relatively flat as well as a possible opportunity for birdie.

  • Hole 2

    Par 3

    A slightly downhill par 3. Using a club that you know will take the bunker on the front left as well as the water out of play.

  • Hole 3

    Par 5

    A good tee shot on this long par 5 puts the golfer in the left center of the fairway, which can lead to an easy 2nd shot, followed by a short approach.

  • Hole 4

    Par 4

    A tight par 4 with water on the left side of the fairway; many fine players club down off the tree to avoid the two fairway bunkers on the right and large tree.

  • Hole 5

    Par 5

    A good tee shot finishes in the right center of the fairway and can turn this par 5 into a par 4 for the long hitters.

  • Hole 6

    Par 4

    Keep your tee shot to the left to avoid tree trouble. Many fine players gear back to a fairway wood or hybrid to ensure an open 2nd shot at the green.

  • Hole 7

    Par 4

    This par 4 is the #1 handicap hole on the course, and for good reason. Stay right of the fairway bunker off the tee and hit enough club into the green to avoid the hardship so many experience.

  • Hole 8

    Par 4

    Similar to hole #2, hole #8 is visually tricky, as there appears to be more water than grass. Be mindful of the wind, whether it’s blowing across or in your face. Club selection is of vital importance.

  • Hole 9

    Par 4

    Your target off the tee is the right center of the fairway to avoid the big tree that sits on the left side of the fairway. With a well-placed tee shot you can come in with a shot for birdie.

  • Hole 10

    Par 5

    This first hole on the back 9 is a long par 5, slight dog leg left. The fairway slopes right to left more than it looks, so a tee shot hit at the right center of the fairway will set you up with an easy 2nd shot as well as 3rd shot into the green.

  • Hole 11

    Par 4

    A well hit driver will place the golfer in the right center of the fairway. There is a green side bunker that runs horizontally in front of the green the golfer will do well to avoid.

  • Hole 12

    Par 5

    A good, straight forward tee shot leaves the golfer with an important choice to make. Lay up in front of the creek and still have 150 yards or more for a third shot? Or blast a second shot over the creek and enjoy a much shorter approach into the green.

  • Hole 13

    Par 3

    Playing this par 3 can feel like threading a needle with a golf ball. It’s important to use enough club to get to the back of the green, as tee shots tend to end up short.

  • Hole 14

    Par 4

    Our million-dollar hole, No. 14 is a beautiful slight uphill dog leg right with a fairway bunker both left and right the green runs left to right horizontally away from the player.

  • Hole 15

    Par 4

    Bang away on this wide-open par 4!

  • Hole 16

    Par 4

    This longish par 4 dogleg right is challenging both off the tee and into the green. Should a player opt to hit the tee ball well left to stay out of the fairway bunker at the dogleg, it just means a longer shot into the green.

  • Hole 17

    Par 3

    Club up on this longish par 3 to counter possible wind and aim for the center of the green. The tee box is at a higher elevation than the green, which makes it rare that a ball will roll onto the green. One must fly the ball the desired distance to the hole.

  • Hole 18

    Par 4

    No. 18 is tight par 4 that doglegs right. This hole has 2 fairway bunkers on the left and 1 fairway bunker on the right. Know your yardage to the end of the fairway before deciding on what club to tee off with. Consider using a little extra when playing the 2nd shot into the green.
