Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee The opening hole, a 467-yard par 4, provides a panoramic view of the valley. The fairway offers a generous landing area from the tee; however, three large bunkers, one left, two right, await the longer hitters who try to be aggressive with their line.
From The Fairway
On The Green the approach is uphill to an elevated green and plays tougher when the pin is located on the back right behind a deep front bunker. The green has distinct tiers, so an accurate approach shot can mean the difference between a birdie and three-putt.

Hole Name
From The Tee A straight away 568-yard par 5 provides a birdie opportunity early in the round. There is no tolerance for a right-handed slice with water that runs down the right side of the hole

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee A daunting par 5 measuring 590 yards from the back tee. Staying left on the tee shot will provide a possible approach, while short and right is all trouble.
From The Fairway The longest hitters may choose to fly over the corner dogleg bunker, which could mean the difference between a long iron and fairway wood into the green. Attempts to reach this green in two shots that come up left or right will find new greenside bunkers from which birdie will be an unlikely score.
On The Green As players are walking down the fairway from the tee, they can look to their right to take in the impressive view of the 15th and 16th holes.

Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This par 4, 470-yard hole provides an uphill walk to the fairway and will not be an easy finish to the back nine. This is another tee shot where the bunkers are firmly in play, pinched into the sides of the fairway and forcing players to aim down the middle.
