1The start of the course begins with fairway side and cross bunkers on the left- and right-hand side for the player to navigate strategically their opening tee shot.The opening hole gives all skill levels the advantage of placing the ball in the middle of the fairway. The 2nd shot requires finesse to a reverse redan green moving from left to r2The Punch Bowl green is located in a natural hollow allowing for three and 1/2 sides of the green to be encroached with a bowl for the greenThe short par 5 is open for a long tee shot with fairway bunkers along the right-hand side and a spectacle bunker on top of the left side.Players will have a blind 2nd shot to reach the green, avoiding a series of pot bunkers on the right.3Originally the 11th hole at St. Andrews; the par 3 green tiltsseverely from back to front with a significant false front on the left side.The tee shot is across Glade Lake and the green is surrounded by bunkers; moderate hole locations on the right offers longer but easier pin locations than the left.4A long tee shot is critically placed on the left with the 2ndspectacle bunker located in the right fairway. This re-introduced, reverse road hole green rejects approaches to the right-hand side.The best approach to the green is short left of the road hole bunker leaving a long, uphill putt.5The recaptured “four-leaf clover” green juts out toward GladeRun stream; with a “Lion’s Mouth” bunker in front. Drives must negotiate carefully Glade Run. The slight dog leg fairway provides for a shorterlevel iron approach for those who challenge the left side of the cape.6Iconic “Reverse” Redan green with deep bunkering on the left and right side and “framed bunker,” well short of the putting surface.The green moves left to right with a downhill slide toward the backward most portion of the green.The middle portion of the green has an elongated spine moving the ball right or left from the tee shot.7Drivable par 4. Fairway bunkers challenge the player wanting to lay up; bolder play is over the cross bunkers along the left sideto avoid a blocked view of green. From the right, a Blind 2nd shot from the fairway by raisedchocolate drops,” fronting the recessed green.8Second long par 4 of the outward nine with an extremely elevated green built with steep slopes on all sides.Putting surface features a back-right plateau as shots mishit short left, will collect to an expansive lower area of fairway. (In Tom Watson’s top 5 par 4s)9A pair of bunkers are in position but allow for the shorter hitter to lay up, longer hitters carrying the right bunkerwill have a short iron to the green. The recovered “lion’s mouth” bunker is recessed in the front of the punch bowl style putting green10A left to right tilt to this fairway demands a precise tee shot. The trio of bunkers see On the inward nine, Springhouse presents challenges to the long hitter. Two cross bunkers aA blind bunker on the left side is also in play. The multi-level green with false front is a challenge, requiring all shots to be hit the correct distance.11This hole is an oasis of a putting green completely surrounded by sand.The “Short” hole includes the “thumb” print in the middle of the green with plateau areas all around.12Another Leven, par 4 hole, named after the original Barn located near the green.The hole’s fairway bunkers positioned on the right-hand side to make for a careful tee shot for any approach to the green. Most play is to the left-hand siderequiring a shot over a high mound complex with bunkers surrounding the green13The only dog leg right tee shot required at Fox Chapel GCThe tee shot must negotiate the end of left-tilting fairway while also avoiding out of bounds and forest on the right.A mid-range iron shot to a right to left sloped green with out of bounds all the way on the right and behind.14Rodger’s Field was the 1st airport in Allegheny County and positioned right next to the 14th holeNew teeing ground created a lengthy 453-yard par 4. There is a large two-level fairway to land the tee shot with the fairway narrowing tothe smallest green on the course and out of bounds close on the right. A deep bunker protects the left side of the putting green. Two dead-straight shots are rewarded here.15The 15th hole is lengthened to 400 yards with a cross bunker to the right side which the player must carry; or land longer left,short of the 2nd cross bunker. A small creek impinges left and then across the fairwayThis “Shinnecock” downhill fairway hole creates a challenging shot to an uphill plateaued green and a very deep front side bunker.16Hole #16 is the most strategic complex on the course.The fairway is gradually narrowing on the left and right side with three cross bunkers in the middle of the fairway.Ideal play is far along the right side short of the bottle neck; the left side is wider but is a more challenging 2nd shot to the green. There are 13 bunkers on the hole with a cro17High teeing ground for the last and longest par 3 on the course with a good viewof the largest green on the course (85 yards long). The deep swale separating two large putting surfaces gives a challenge for the player hitting to either putting surface.The green is well covered by bunkers left and right and a framing bunker at the front side.18The finishing hole is named after Glade Run Creek, which runs the length of the hole.This “long home hole” requires a straight and long tee shot, with two bunkers on the left side of the fairway and the Glade Run Creek running along the right side and crossing The uphill Par 5 reaches a deceptively subtle, right to left pitched green with crowned edges.
