1The ideal tee shot will finish in the left-center of the fairway, providing the optimal approach angle to the pin.The first hole at Tam O’Shanter has trees lining both sides of the straight-away fairway.The green is guarded on both the left and the right by large trees with a yawning bunker just in front of the right-hand side of the green that comes into play from the right side 2The green is slightly more elevated than the tee, with a small dip just in front of the green that makes it difficult to bounce a tee shot onto the green.The green slopes SEVERELY from back left to front right, and being above the hole is not recommended.A bunker with a large lip guards the left side of the green. Bring your best effort to this one!3This hole rightly ranks as the number one handicap hole for both men and ladies, due mainly to its length.The longest hole on the course starts out innocently enough, with a wide-open, slightly uphill fairway. The fairway reaches its high point 190 yards from the green, where it drops A large tree sits at the crest of the fairway on the left side, but only comes into play from part of the fairway or from the left rough. The hole is uphill from the creek to the g4The fourth hole at Tam O’ Shanter combines significant length with a need for precision.A drive in the rough means a tree will block the second shot, both from the right or the left, but even a drive in the right half of the fairway will mean that the player must contThe large green is fairly flat, with no sand bunkers. A good score is possible with well-played shots, but so is a big number.5Strategy is the key on this hole, which presents the player with a wide, flat landing area for the tee shot.However, the fairway starts to drop into a ravine (with a creek at the bottom) approximately 250 yards from the white tees, so a layup drive is definitely the play for long hittersThe two-tiered green has a slight back-to-front slope from the large back tier, to a small front tier.6A true 90-degree dogleg left, which rises slightly from the tee to the corner.The middle of the fairway is about 230 yards from the white tees at the turn of the dogleg.The green is narrow and quite deep, with two tiers, and a general back-to-front slope.7After the previous four tough holes, this one is a nice relief.The championship tees on this hole are the same elevation as the fairway, while the regular tees are well below the level of the fairway.A bunker guards each side of the green, which is fairly narrow. The green does have some back-to-front slope, but it is deceiving — it isn’t as sloped as it appears.8From the championship tees, this shot must go through a gap in a stand of trees.A shot that lands in the back half of the green may well go over this green.The green slopes from front-right to back-left, and is elevated on the left side. Bunkers are located both left and right of the green, which will hold a well-struck shot that land9This fairway slopes from right to left, and the tee is pointed toward the left rough, so careful alignment is of key importance on the tee shot.The green is quite deep, deeper than it appears from the fairway. It slopes from right to left more than the fairway does.Two bunkers are located behind the green. The ninth at Tam O’ Shanter is a challenging way to end the front nine.10An elevated tee starts this non-typical dogleg left. The fairway is wide, straight, and open, but then bends to the left about 120 yards from the green, so a player whose drive lanThe green has no bunkers around it, but has some unusual contours in its mostly back-to-front slope.11There’s nothing fancy about this hole until you get to the green. The wide fairway starts up a little hill about 50 yards from the green, and the front part of the green starts o12The twelfth is an uphill par 5, with fairway bunkers on both sides of the fairway, which slopes from right to left.Only the longest hitters will reach this green in two, and the green is the difficult part of this hole.13A short downhill dogleg left par 5, with a fairway bunker at the turn of the dogleg that can be reached from the tee by a monstrous shot.The last 25 yards of the fairway drop into a large depression, which does not have any water in it, but makes it impossible for any shot that does not carry onto the green to bouncThis green is VERY narrow from front-to-back, which makes for a challenging approach shot.14Tam O’Shanter’s signature hole, “Death Valley,” features one of the best visual features of the golf course. After seeing how narrow #13 green is, this green looks just as This hole is all carry, and the back-to-front slope will hold an iron shot nicely.The hole plays somewhat uphill, with trees blocking the extreme right and left sides of the green.15The first of three short par 4’s, each one shorter than the last. From an elevated tee, the hole dips down and then is uphill for the approach shot, so the hole plays longer thanThis green is even trickier than #11’s, and is smaller to boot. The front of the green is very sloped, and will not hold any shot.16It is very difficult to approach the green from the left rough, and it’s also a pretty tough shot from the left side of the fairway.A short par 4, with a left-to-right sloping fairway. The green has a very steep left-to-right slope. A bunker with a large lip is located just off the left side of the green.The best approach to the green comes from the right. Makeable putts exist on this green with the ball below the hole here, but a pain in the neck is what most players will call a d17The shortest par 4 on the course starts from an elevated tee, and the tee shot must carry across a depression to an elevated fairway. From the crest of the fairway which is 150 yarOne feature to watch for is a big bunker, with the largest lip of any seen so far on the course, completely blocking the left half of this green.18Bunkers are located in front of the left and right sides of the green, but are 10 or 15 yards in front of it, so they don’t really come into play, but are visually intimidating.The green is narrow in front and widens in the back, and is very steeply sloped (rivaling numbers 2, 12, and 16) from back-to-front. It is not wise to leave oneself with a downhill
