Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee The drive must be on the left center of the
From The Fairway fairway to avoid the overhanging trees on the right side of the hole.
On The Green The second shot must clear water hazards in front and bunkers right and left. The green is sloped severely from back to front and towards the front left water hazard. Putts from above rarely end near the hole.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee The lone par five on the front is a dogleg left off the tee.
From The Fairway Golfers must be careful not to catch the overhanging limbs on the corner of the dogleg, or drive through the fairway into the trees on the right.
On The Green The ideal tee shot is a sweeping draw that starts just inside the large pine on the corner and finishes on the left side of the fairway. The second shot is a classic risk-reward shot. Golfers must choose to lay up short of the bunker and on the left side of the fairway or hit a risky shot that must carry the last fairway bunker and avoid the limbs above the bunker to reach this green in two shots.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee The fourth hole is a narrow dogleg left par four. Out of bounds impedes the drive on the right side. The second shot must avoid the greenside bunkers right and left. Golfers must also avoid a shot hit over the green with trees and out of bounds long as well. The green slopes from back to front and putts tend to roll long from the back of the green.

On The Green
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee The first par three on the golf course is very challenging.
From The Fairway Requiring a long iron to a fairway wood, the golfer must avoid the greenside bunkers to be successful.
On The Green The green slopes from back to front, except the back, left portion that slopes towards the cart path.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee The sixth hole has the narrowest tee shot on the golf course.
From The Fairway
On The Green This dogleg right requires an accurate tee shot, preferably a fade. The second shot must be accurate to this small well protected green.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee The seventh hole is a straightaway par four. This hole plays longer into the prevailing wind.
From The Fairway The drive must avoid the property line on the right side of the hole. Distance control is very important to this two-tiered green.
On The Green The front tier slopes towards the fairway. The back tier is further divided with the right half sloped to the right and the left half to the left.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This dogleg right has a wide fairway.
On The Green The second shot must carry onto the green as shots hit short will end up in the fairway or one of the three front bunkers. A large, flat green with a slight slope from back to front.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee The final hole on the front side is one of the most beautiful holes on the Eastern Shore. Played along Taylor Creek, the short par three requires accuracy and a good judge of the wind.
From The Fairway
On The Green The prevailing wind from right to left makes the shot nerve-wracking as many golfers start the ball out over the water hazard and hope the wind cooperates. The shot must avoid bunkers right and left, and a small pond short left of the green. Once on the green, golfers must control their distance well as this green slopes from back to front, severely in the first third.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee The back nine starts with a drivable par four. Measuring 250 yards from tee to green,
From The Fairway golfers may attempt to drive the ball onto the green. Golfers must elevate their drive over the corner trees and carry the front green-side bunker. A more conservative approach is to lay up in the fairway and have a short iron approach. The green is very accessible from the fairway and yields a lot of birdies.
On The Green

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee The tee shot on number 12 needs to carry the first pond and stop short of the second pond about 220 yards from the tee.
From The Fairway
On The Green The longest of drivers may try to carry the second pond, a carry of 250 yards. The second shot must carry to the front of this elevated green. Putting can be especially challenging on this sloping green.

Hole Name
From The Tee Hole seventeen requires a carry over water to a green well protected in front by two bunkers, the left front bunker, and one bunker right.
From The Fairway
On The Green A two-tiered green that is heavily sloped in the front awaits even the best approach. The small pot bunker short right and the deep left hand trap are penalizing hazards.
Hole 18
Hole Name

From The Fairway The drive must avoid the bunker on the right side. Long hitters are then challenged to reach this green in two shots.

Reachable by some but not many golfers.
