Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee We are going to start you off with a straight-a-way par 4 using Bastion Mountain as a picturesque backdrop. Be careful with your club selection off the tee, as a downhill landing zone will certainly add some yards to the length of your tee shot. Be sure to take an extra club or two for your second shot into this green as it plays quite a bit uphill.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee The first par 5 on the course is a double dogleg with out of bounds left, and fescue right. As daunting as that sounds, this hole plays short enough that Driver may not be required off the tee for all golfers. A safe tee shot, and a second shot that avoids the small pot bunkers short right of the green should set you up for a good birdie opportunity early.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee The first par 3 of the course likely requires nothing more than a wedge or short iron off the tee.

From The Fairway

On The Green Club selection is key as this green is well protected on all sides by bunkers and water. Anywhere left of the green is the preferred miss on this hole.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee A short par 4, but one that can be deceptively difficult. An aggressive tee shot around the corner could leave with no more than a short wedge into this green, but with out of bounds left and fescue long and right, a safer shot off the tee may be in order.

From The Fairway

On The Green Play it too safe though, and you’re left with a long iron shot into a tricky green with two deep bunkers to the left.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee The shorter hitters, however, will have three church pew bunkers to deal with off the tee. Even so, avoiding those bunkers off the tee gives even the shortest hitters a relatively good chance at birdie.

From The Fairway

On The Green Not many holes reward long hitters as much as #5, the green itself is only 340yards from the tee as the crow flies, and the more corner you’re willing to cut, the easier your uphill second shot into this green will be.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee The second par 3 on the front 9 plays as the shortest hole on the course, but that by no means makes it the easiest hole on the course. Three bunkers and a penalty area that wraps around the back of the green means that any lapse in judgement off the tee could result in a very high score here.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee A shorter tee shot will remain on level, flat fairway, but will require a longer approach shot into a wide, shallow green.

From The Fairway Yet another hole that requires a decision off the tee as a longer tee shot will put most golfers into one of the two fairway bunkers or a dip in the fairway that which may take the pin out of view.

On The Green

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee Considered by most to be the most difficult hole on the course, #8 requires two solid golf shots for even a slim chance at birdie. A tee shot that comes to rest short of the 150 yard marker will leave a longer shot into the green, but there will be less elevation change.

From The Fairway

On The Green A longer tee shot, may roll partway, or all the way down the hill in the latter half of the fairway, leaving a shorter, uphill second shot, often from an awkward lie. Par is a great score on this hole.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway Shorter hitters need to be wary of the pinch point of trees around the 150 yard marker, as an uneven fairway can often result in an unlucky bounce into the trees.

On The Green The final hole on the front half plays as an average length dogleg left. Longer hitters may be able to fully carry the corner, leaving only a short pitch into a tricky green.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway Although easy on paper, this short par 4 plays much harder than the yardage on the scorecard may suggest. A water hazard just right of the fairway often results in a layup off the tee, which leaves a long uphill second shot into a very well-protected green.

On The Green Taking an extra club on the second shot is never a bad idea as a bank behind the green can often save shots hit a little long.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee Hole 11 is another dogleg left par 5, although it plays much differently than the dogleg left #5. A good tee shot down the center of the fairway leaves the golfer to decide between going for the green in two, requiring a long carry over hazard, or a lay up into a small area near the 150 yard marker.

From The Fairway

On The Green Avoid hitting it left at any point on this hole, as thick trees line the left side of the rough from tee to green.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee The longest par 3 on the course also plays, unsurprisingly, as the most difficult. Any shot short or left of the green will likely result in a trip to the drop zone, so a tee shot right of the hill is the ideal miss.

From The Fairway

On The Green A large bank to the right of the green means, that with a lucky bounce, a bad shot may quickly turn into a good shot. Although #12 may seem daunting, a little pre-tee shot planning can do wonders.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee PrO-Bably the most picturesque tee shot on the course, #13 also offers golfers the chance to reach the green off the tee. However, for those who prefer the safer (and smarter) approach, any shot that reaches the far side of the fairway is ideal.

From The Fairway

On The Green Lay up too short however, and you will be blocked out by the corner of the trees. The second shot into this green is much simpler, with only a small creek short to worry about. Be wary of elevation change on this hole, as the second, plays much shorter than it appears.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee A tee shot right will likely end up on #16 fairway, and although it is a more awkward angle, is still the preferred miss off the tee.

From The Fairway A pond to the left of the fairway is the defining feature of this par 4, keeping your tee shot right of that is key to playing this hole well.

On The Green For your approach into this green, be very wary of the three pot bunkers to the left of the green. Each bunker is over 5 feet deep, making any shot from then a difficult one.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee A short par 4, reachable for the longest of hitters, plays as a slight dogleg right for most. The approach shot is key for this hole, as the marsh hazard surrounds the entire green, penalizing any miss left, right or long. A solid second shot however, will leave you with a birdie putt on one of the simpler greens on the course.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee The only straight par 5 on the course, #16 also plays as the longest. The tee shot is the most difficult shot on this hole, with trees and out of bounds left, and fescue grass to the right.

From The Fairway

On The Green This hole is barely reachable even for the longest hitters, so taking less than driver on the tee is a very feasible strategy. As you get closer to the green, the danger to the right of the hole disappears, giving you a little more room to breathe on your second and third shots.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee With out of bounds left, and a small creek short and right, this short, slightly uphill par 3 requires a well struck shot off the tee.

From The Fairway

On The Green Accuracy is key while hitting into this green, as the green complex houses a few subtle ridges and mounts that can test even the best putters.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee The final hole on the course offers no rest to the golfer, testing players with a tough tee shot, with water and pot bunkers right, and hills and trees left.

From The Fairway

On The Green Laying up isn’t a great option either, as the second shot plays very uphill. Watch the bunker and trees to the right of the green, trying to save par from either of those spots is difficult for even the most seasoned pros.
