Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee The first hole on any golf course is generally the hole that gives golfers the early jitters. Well, the #1 hole at Adams is just that

From The Fairway the toughest hole on the course. Not only is it uphill, it is tight with a slight dogleg to the left through a choked down fairway.

On The Green The green is small and has a soft spot on the left front (one of the reasons they call it Adams Springs). The back of the green has a sand trap that protects a hidden pond for those long hitters with their second shot. Oh, by the way, keep it to the right of the fairway and out of the trees.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee The 2nd hole, while rated 17 out of 18, is relatively short.

From The Fairway

On The Green It pays to be accurate because between the tee and the elevated green there is nothing but rough. If your tee shot lands short, the ball prO-Bably will not bounce up to the green. Don’t be too long, it could be a runner down the uphill slope.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee One of the narrowest fairways on the course, with a slight dogleg to the right. Careful, don’t pull it to the left or you will be out of bounds

From The Fairway About 155 yards from the green on the right side of the fairway is a large pine tree

On The Green There is a garden spot slightly to the left of this tree. To the right about 50 yards from the tree is a nice pond. Between the pine tree and the lake there is a sand trap. If you clear the lake the ball is in play. Please yell “fore” if your ball is drifting to your right from the tee. Your second shot is to an elevated green which has a grass bunker in front and is totally surrounded by rough. T

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee This is our signature hole—hit it and you will be one happy camper, miss it and you will prO-Bably be in the pond to the front left of the green.

From The Fairway The throat of this fairway is approximately 30 yards wide with the sand trap on the right.

On The Green Choose the right club for your tee shot, because if you are too long you will land in the rough behind the green or worse yet, in the creek. Don’t pay any attention to the pine tree on the right of the trap.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee The “Berry Box” was affectionately named for the Kelseyville High School golf coach,

From The Fairway John Berry, to acknowledge his commitment to youth golf in Lake County. (This is the upper tee box). Heavy hitters blast away and keep it in the fairway close to the trees on the right side.

On The Green We mention the trees because even though this fairway is right in front of the golfer, quite often the shot lands in the trees or in the first fairway. This means that your second shot must be either a punch shot out of the trees or entirely over the trees and back onto the fairway. Needless to say, the best shot is on the right side of the fairway, left of the trees. However, if you pull the ball

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This is an interesting hole. A grove of mature pine trees lies right in the center of the fairway

On The Green approximately 120 yards from the tee box. Out of bounds is directly to the left of the fairway, and a creek crossing the fairway approximately 220 yards from the tee box make for a precision shot. Calculating players lay-up over the trees and leave a short second shot to the green — 1 putt birdie, 2 putt par. Big hitters go for it, but watch out for the sand trap at the front right of the green.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee Hit the green on 1 shot and 2 putts makes an easy par.

From The Fairway However, watch the swirling winds above the trees. There is about a sixty foot drop from tee box to the green.

On The Green A creek crosses the fairway about 30 yards in front of the green and there are 3 traps (2 in front, 1 in rear) to deal with. The “out of bounds” markers are directly to the left and rear.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee “Gutsy” golfers can reach the green in one if they shoot over the trees.

From The Fairway This fairway is doglegged to the left. If you miss your drive to the green, you are prO-Bably in the creek on the left. Approximately 200 yards from the tee box another creek crosses the fairway. It is best to lay-up 170 to 180 yards on the right side of the fairway.

On The Green There is a sand trap in front of the left side of the green, which is the largest on the course.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway There are “out of bounds” markers on the left side of this fairway.

On The Green To the right and 200 yards out from the tee is the largest lake on the course. The green is not only hidden behind the lake, but also a large sand trap guards the green on the right front side. This fairway is a dogleg right. A smart shot is to hit away to the large opening in the fairway, which leaves a second shot directly to the modest sized green.
