Hole #1
Par 4
Handicap 6
Red Tees 317 yds
Black Tees318 yds
White Tees331 yds
Blue Tees 344 yds
Your round starts with a dogleg left par 4 from an elevated tee. There is O.B. left which is guarded by large trees. The "BIG" hitters like to cut the corner, but if you do, the sandtrap on the left front of the green might come into play.
Hole #2
Par 4
Handicap #8
Red Tees 287 yds
Black Tees288 yds
White Tees346 yds
Blue Tees359 yds
From the back teeing area, the tee shot is a blind downhill shot with O.B. all the way down the left of this fairway and behind the green. If your tee shot is long, but just a little off line, you will find some tree trouble. A layup might be the smart play off the tee.
Hole #3
Par 4
Handicap #1
Red Tees 307 yds
Black Tees308 yds
White Tees368 yds
Blue Tees377 yds
This hole is a slight dogleg left which usually plays directly into a south wind. Large pine trees protect the left side of the fairway. Going over this green makes for a tough up and down.
Hole #4
Par 5
Handicap #3
Red Tees 410 yds
Black Tees411 yds
White Tees465 yds
Blue Tees477 yds
The first par 5 is a slight dogleg left. Large pine trees prevent you from cutting the corner. A pond in the middle of the fairway may determine if you layup or go for it in 2. More trouble awaits at the green with a bunker guarding the left side.
Hole #5
Par 4
Handicap #7
Red Tees 335 yds
Black Tees336 yds
White Tees347 yds
Blue Tees384 yds
This par 4 is a dogleg right, with O.B. on the right and over this green. Large pine trees guarding the corner and more trees around the corner require a big carry to get back to the fairway.
Hole #6
Par 3
Handicap #4
Red Tees 124 yds
Black Tees125 yds
White Tees165 yds
Blue Tees190 yds
This par 3 is the course's signature hole. From an elevated tee you hit down to a green that is protected by a large pond in front and a sand trap on the right. From the blue tees the 190 yds shot has you shaking. Once you get on the green, your work is not done. This is perhaps the toughest green on the course. Three putts are not uncommon.
Hole #7
Par 5
Handicap #9
Red Tees 414 yds
Black Tees415 yds
White Tees484 yds
Blue Tees497 yds
The second par 5 has O.B. all the way down the right side of the fairway. Usually playing downwind, this hole is reachable with 2 very good shots making an eagle a possibility. But be careful, there is a fairway trap on the right that can catch an errant tee shot. If you escape the fairway trap another trap awaits on the left side of the green. This is your chance to salvage your round, or go low.
Hole #8
Par 3
Handicap #5
Red Tees 148 yds
Black Tees149 yds
White Tees148 yds
Blue Tees159 yds
The fun is almost over. The second par 3 on the card plays slightly uphill to a fairly large green. Unfortunately you can't see the green's surface from the tee, so it is difficult to get the right distance on your shots. Many golfers come up short on their tee shots, you may want to take one more club.
Hole #9
Par 4
Handicap #2
Red Tees 309 yds
Black Tees310 yds
White Tees365 yds
Blue Tees376 yds
Heading for home. #9 is a par 4 that has a blind tee shot that plays downhill. You can use the clubhouse as an aiming point and with a good tee shot you will find yourself at the bottom of the hill. From there it is only a wedge to an uphill green. But be carefull, you do not want to go over this green. It is nearly impossible getting up and down from back there. We hope you enjoyed your round, and take advantage of our clubhouse for some food and beverages.
