1The opening doesn’t require a monumental drive; rather, success depends on accuracy into the rolling green, illustrative that a deft short game is essential on the West. The modeIt appears kind of benign for a first hole, but you have to hit a good tee shot. You’ll be left with a short iron or wedge over our own Swilcan Burn, which is tough at the first.2Turning gently right from the tee, No. 2 demands an uphill mid- or long iron to its expansive, terraced green. Landing the blind approach on the right level is key to any chance fo"I really like this hole. It’s a very demanding par-4. Keep your drive in the left or center of the fairway, but short of the bunker. If you’re right you will be totally blocke3A seemingly gracious fairway gets pinched by mounds left and bunkers right on the third. The flatter rear portion of the green provides opportunity to roll in a lengthy putt, whileYou’ll really need to get this tee shot to the correct spot in the fairway - center or left, because right and you’re dead.

From the back tee, depending on the wind, I hit 5-wood, 3-wood, or driver and try to con7It takes reaching the edge of a steep descent in the fairway to reveal the true beauty on the seventh. From there, mature hardwoods, a low bunker, and the rock walled creek frame tKeep your tee shot right. A large, deep bunker frames the fairway left and is a one-shot penalty.
