Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee Golfers begin their round with a short and inviting par four.

From The Fairway

On The Green The tee shot can be struck with anything from driver to long iron, leaving a short iron approach to one of the course’s smallest greens. The green is well guarded by bunkers with a ridge on the back which will impact most putts.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee Consistently rated as the hardest hole on the course, this par four demands a long, accurate tee shot followed by an equally accurate long iron.

From The Fairway

On The Green The green is narrow and protected by three deep bunkers on both sides. With out-of-bounds only steps off the entire right side of the hole, even the best golfers will be happy with par on this hole.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee The par four third tempts players to carry two fairway bunkers off the tee, with the reward of a short iron to a small green.

From The Fairway

On The Green The green slopes significantly in several directions, forcing a precise approach. If missed, the green is surrounded by depressed bunkers and deep rough.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee Although short in yardage, this par four requires a precise tee shot to set up a mid or short iron.

From The Fairway

On The Green A deep ravine and stream guard the right side of the hole and majestic oaks, mounds, and heather grass keep the tee shot from straying left. With a large quartered tier on the green, the approach shot must be well placed. There are no greenside bunkers, however missing the green will often result in bogey or worse.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee This hole is as picturesque as it is difficult. The tee shot must avoid a pond approximately 230 yards from the tee.

From The Fairway

On The Green That same pond is traversed by the approach shot to a large two-tiered green. There is a stream only yards off the right side of the green, forcing the player to play safely to certain pin positions. Once again, par is a great score on this hole.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee The uphill par three sixth may be one of the hardest holes on the golf course.

From The Fairway

On The Green The hole stretches to 200 yards, requiring the tee shot to carry a severe elevation. The difficulty of the tee shot is secondary to the difficulty of the green. A large tier separates the front and back of the green, and deep bunkers almost always guarantee bogey or worse for missed shots.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee The seventh is a classic short Donald Ross par four. The tee shot must fit between two strands of trees.

From The Fairway The approach is made harder by two fairway bunkers designed to give the illusion of being greenside

On The Green . With its crowns to the front and sides, the approach shot must be extremely accurate to hold the green.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee This par three boasts the largest green on the course. With a bottom pin position, players can be creative in their approach.

From The Fairway

On The Green However, when the pin is on the back left tier, a long and accurate tee shot is required to carry two bunkers and hold the green.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee The only par five on the front side requires two strong shots to be reached.

From The Fairway

On The Green A ravine and strategically placed fairway bunkers force the player into a risk-reward situation from the tee. If the drive is well placed, a second level of fairway bunkers again forces the player to evaluate the risks of trying to reach the green in two. The green has some of the severest slopes on the golf course, making every putt an adventure.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee The back nine appears to start with a benign and short par four. However,

From The Fairway

On The Green missing this green will leave the player with few good options. Four bunkers guard the front and sides, and out-of-bounds lurks only a few feet from the playing surface.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This uphill par four can be challenged from the tee with driver or fairway metal.

On The Green The player must then consider the pin position before hitting the approach. The green has a three-foot tier running from front to back, dividing the putting surface into two distinct halves. Hitting the wrong half makes two putting very difficult.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee With out-of-bounds stretching down the entire right side of the hole, this par five can bedevil even the best of players.

From The Fairway

On The Green Approach shots are made even more difficult by an undulating green with a large “false front” to its left. Players missing left will be forced to chip back up the steep slope to a tight green. Birdie is possible, but par is well received.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee The par three thirteenth is the shortest of the four par threes and invites the player to hit an aggressive shot. However,

From The Fairway

On The Green with bunkers guarding a relatively shallow green, club selection is critical. Shots falling short or long of the green will leave a difficult up and down from sand or heavy rough.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee This dogleg right rewards an aggressive drive with a chance to reach the green in two shots.

From The Fairway If not, the lay up shot must traverse two well placed fairway bunkers. The green is protected by bunkers left and right,

On The Green and a large mound in the front of the green requires the player to hit an accurate approach to the correct side of the green. This hole offers the last good chance for birdie before the player faces the final four holes.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee The par four fifteenth plays as one of the more difficult holes on the course.

From The Fairway The drive must carry a fairway bunker on the right side of the hole and avoid trees to the left.

On The Green The player will then be left with a mid to long iron into a green divided by a ridge running from front to back. A pond guards the front left of the green, with a series of grass mounds designed to penalize a shot missed right. For short or missed drives, the lay up is complicated by a small creek that bisects the fairway.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee This classically designed par four requires a well placed drive and mid iron to a slightly elevated green.

From The Fairway Bunkers guard both sides of the green, with an additional fairway bunker deceptively placed fifty yards short of the green.

On The Green With large ridges cutting the green into several tiers, a player may face a putt with fifteen feet or more of break. Par on this hole is well earned.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee The par four seventeenth plays as a long downhill dogleg right.

From The Fairway

On The Green An aggressive tee shot will leave the player with a short or mid iron to a green guarded by water and bunkers. A more conservative drive will leave a long iron into this penalizing green. Players missing to the left of the green will be faced with a difficult chip or sand shot that slopes towards the water.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee This traditional layout concludes with a unique and difficult par three bordering the clubhouse.

From The Fairway

On The Green A “collection area” right and bunkers short and left force a precise approach to a narrow green. The green is bisected from side to side by a small ridge. Out-of-bounds is only a few steps over the green making club selection critical. A closing par is well earned on this hole.
