Hole #1: 415 405 304 271
This par 4 starts with a blind tee shot to a fairway that slopes slightly from left to right. Trees right and OB left can make that first drive difficult, even though the fairway is nearly 45 yards wide. When approaching the green, going long or right will make for a hard earned par.
Hole #2: 166 145 130 124
A straightforward uphill par 3 with a bunker to the right, the green is two tiered; so chipping from a long or short distance is equally difficult.
Hole #3: 512 504 413 371
The first and longer of back-to-back par 5s plays uphill with the tee shot landing area sloping left to right. The green is well guarded by bunkers on the right and OB to the left. A second shot in play will make this hole play easier.
Hole #4: 525 475 411 349
This par 5 plays downhill and a good bit shorter than #3. The fairway is wide, which tempts most players to let it rip off the tee, but beware there is OB right and a row of cedar trees to the left. This green also is very well guarded by bunkers in front and left, with OB right.
Hole #5: 314 292 209 204
This beautiful par 4 has a creek and is tree lined on both sides of the fairway. The creek is underground across the fairway, which helps the shorter hitter. The creek, trees, and pronounced stripes on the fairway make this one of everyone’s favorites.
Hole #6: 403 390 282 273
Our hardest par 4 plays slightly uphill and is a dogleg right with the fairway sloping gently to the left. Caution to those cutting the corner, a ball landing in the trees can easily bounce into a nearby pond. The green is protected by a bunker left and mounds to the right.
Hole #7: 220 193 159 147
This par 3 is both beauty and the Beast. A pond with a fountain and the clubhouse in the background is the beauty. Length over water to an undulating green that is well guarded on both sides is the beast. Short siding yourself makes this hole very difficult.
Hole #8: 340 307 273 249
This par 4 is straight away with a wide fairway, the green is very well bunkered, but plays short. This hole can give you a break after playing our two most difficult holes; you can let your guard down just a bit.
Hole #9: 304 294 242 220
This short par 4 with the swimming pool in the background can make you overconfident by thinking you can drive the green, which certainly is a possibility for long hitters. But long drivers use caution, as you get to the green it gets very tight. The green is guarded by trees, mounds, a bunker, and out of bounds. A ball in the fairway off the tee assures a wedge shot in and many times can lead to a finishing birdie.
