1The Grace Course begins with a true, three-shot par 5. The tee shot over Saucon Creek must avoid a large flash-face bunker on the left sideThe second shot must be long enough to clear the stand of trees on the right side of the fairway thus allowing for an open approach shot to the green.The large green pitches from back to front and is guarded by two bunkers—one on each side and another 15 yards short of the green. This bunker creates an illusion of being closer2Named for the creek fronting the green, this difficult par 4 measures 412 yards from the championship tees.A well-positioned drive will leave a mid-iron approach to a deceptively narrow green.3Avoiding the large pond that virtually surroundsthe green on the front and right side is the number one priority on this long, difficult par 3.An errant shot to the left will find Saucon Creek, which runs down the left side of the hole.4The tee shot on this par 5 must favorthe right side of the fairway to avoid the pond on the left. A well-positioned second shot will avoid a series of cross-bunkersthat guard the approach to the green, which narrows from front to back.5This classic hole was modeled after the famous 11th hole at St. Andrews, Scotland, thus the name “Eden.”It requires a short- to mid-iron approach shot that must clear a well-placed pot bunker in front.There is a bunker on the left side of the green, as well as a “shell bunker” short of the green. The putting surface slopes dramatically from back to front.6The drive on this hole may be played with any club from a long-iron to a driver.Accuracy is paramount if you are to avoid the fairway bunkers on the right and the rough and trees on the left.The approach shot with a mid- to short-iron must carry the massive bunker—“Little Sahara”—that guards the front and entire left side of the elevated green.7A challenging hole that starts with a tee shot that gives the player the option of eitherrisk or reward. The safe play is to the right side of the fairway,but the length of the approach shot may be decreased considerably by playing over the edge of a very large bunker.8Long hitters may choose a 3-wood tee shot to avoid the pond in the center of thefairway, which turns gently from left to right. The second shot is to an elevated green guarded by a deep bunker on the left. Look tothe right as you approach the green, and you will see the small stone “spring house” from which the hole takes its name9This slight dogleg left is a great finish to the front nine.It is uphill from start to finish and plays much longer than the yardage indicates.The large green guarded by bunkers left and right allows for a variety of challenging pin locations.10This hole is one of the greatest tips of the cap to Club founder Eugene Grace.Grace believed that par 5s should not be reachable in two strokes, thus, this double dogleg perfectly incorporates a meandering Saucon Creek forcing accurate shots beforeattacking the green with a short iron or wedge. That said, today’s longer hitters can go for it in two, but they must place a perfect tee shot on the right side of the fairway, w11This classic “Redan” hole requires a mid- to long-ironshot to a green that is guarded on the left side by bunkers and slopes away from the golfer from front to back.12This hole is named after one of the most classic and original architectural featuresknown as an “Alps” design. As evident from the approach shot, the hillside protrudes in front of the green leaving the golfer with only a small glimpse of the left side of the This short par 4 requires an accurate tee shot and a precise approach shot to a putting green protected by the Alps design and false front.13A narrow hole that plays longer than the yardage indicates.The drive may be played with a fairway wood or driver to a very narrow landing area in a tree-lined valley.The approach shot is to an elevated green sloped severely from back to front.14With the beautiful Villa Pazzetti in the backdrop, this picturesque par 3 marks the return routing toward the clubhouse.Golfers are faced with a long- or mid-iron to a well-protected green with significant undulation -the front and right side of the green are protected by a massive and deep bunker with the left side protected by an equally penalizing bunker.15This three-shot par 5 plays slightly uphill and requires a drivethat avoids the fairway bunker on the left. The well-positioned second shot to the left side of the fairway must clear a large flash-face bunker on the right and a series of cross-A short iron approach to the large green is open when played from the left side of the fairway but must clear a large, deep bunker from the right side.16This relatively long, straightaway hole takes its name from the mounds surrounding the green.It is unique in that there are no greenside bunkers. A back left pin position is the most difficult.17The drive on this 90-degree dogleg hole must be positioned far enough to clear thecorner, yet remain short of the rough and trees on the far side of the fairway. Two bunkers - left and right - guard the undulating putting surface.18A great finishing hole. While this long par 4 plays slightly downhill, it requires twoprecisely struck and placed golf shots in order to reach the green in regulation. A well-positioned tee shot must navigate an elongated bunker on the left side,a softly turning fairway line on the right side, and a tree-lined fairway on both sides for the golfer’s approach. A mid-iron to a well-protected green features two bunkers - one
