Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The opening hole on the this Donald Ross gem requires an exacting first shot for the player. The target from the teeing ground is center or left side of the fairway to ensure an open shot to the green around a menacing large Willow Oak tree fronting the right perimeter of the green. Otherwise, the approach will need an extra lofting to reach the surface of a green with swirls of breaks and undulat

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway First opportunity for an easy birdie or par as Ross was generous in his fairway width. But the green offers its ultimate challenge once reached. Keep your ball below the hole or be wary.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee The third hole is a tantalizing short par 3 with surprising menace. Changes in elevation and severe slopes make this one-shotter tougher than it looks. Get a par here and most are very happy.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The fourth is a demanding driving hole with length to boot. The fairway leans left in the drive zone requiring the player to land the ball on the right side or watch the ball roll into the rough near the lateral water hazard left. The approach is to a tactical green protected by mounding and bunkers to intimidate the golfer. A par here is relished.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A dog-leg left across a hazard with another on the left side near the drive zone offers the golfer the prospect that a driver is not really necessary. Once in the fairway, the uphill second is to another challenging green complex that frustrates all except the best putters.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee A tough par 3 uphill to a two tiered green that is sometimes 215 yards plus. If the hole is on the lower level, don't go past; if on the upper level don't be on the lower. Three putts abound here.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee Longest hole on the Irving Park layout with O-B on both sides, first impression is the ball may not fit between the tree-line from the teeing ground. After threading then needle and negotiating the first stroke, the next is a much needed accurate layup to short of the hazard and avoiding any line of play blocked by the many oaks on both sides. Regulation shot to the green is a bit touchy for one t

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway Deceiving 450 yards par 5 uphill with hazard left and O-B right induces many a golfer to steer the drive with white knuckles. From the fairway only the flagstick is visible to the player and it is a one to two club adjustment to get there. Once on the putting green, one finds the most dramatic green design on the course.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee A short par 4 with an enticing choice for the player. In stroke play, you might consider an iron or hybrid to start; in match let the driver fly and if successful a short pitch might be yours to the hole. Tight off the tee but an accepting green for a birdie chance.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee The "Downtown" hole has over 200 yards up the hill to an angled green with a subtle severity not realized until after many practices. Many consider this best as a short par four. One of the classic examples of grain influence on speed, the direction for the growing is from back to the green front. If you stand on the back of the green, you can see the skyline of the downtown Greensboro and that is

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee A somewhat benign view from the teeing ground doesn't give the eleventh the credit for challenge it deserves. This par four played into a hill slope for the drive presents another uphill adjust from the player to a green with extreme slides toward the front and to the right. Placement of the ball in the right area is critical for the golfer to avoid trepidation's in putting.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee An elevated tee to a downhill green location perplexes the golfer on club selection. Does the wind offset the distance and equalize the downward grade influence? Once on, again Donald Ross has set in motion the need to be a confident putter or leave unhappy.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A driveable par 4 uphill toward the clubhouse, Risk/Reward is the teaser here. A tight fairway, heavily wooded left and menacing O-B right often influences the golfer to go for the widest part of the landing area with a short club. But at a mere 259 from hte back tee, the temptation lures even the most cautious to say "I'm going for it!" Shame on the aggressive golfer if he does not land near the

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee One of the most beautiful settings for a green on the course, the par 5 is generally reachable in two strokes but the green demands respect from the golfer. Ross made the approach look as if the player should avoid missing the green on the right for its trouble. But the devious architect made the left even more precarious as a recovery from there is more tricky and slippery. Hoping for an easy fou

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee From the teeing ground the player is blind to the lay of the land on this tough two-shotter. The second is a little downhill to a ski run green tantalizing in its concept. The player must get the ball on the green or face a tough up and down.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee Guarded by a large oak on the right, the 16th is a medium length three par nestled among the copse of trees. Playing generally from 150-180 yards, the swirling winds make a solid shot a necessity to guarantee reaching the putting surface efficiently. Tough chipping and pitch shots if not successful from the teeing ground.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee A spectacular view of the seventeenth green is offered to the golfer as he heads home. A cross hazard at the bottom of the hill dictates the long hitter to consider less than a drive and lay back to a longer approach. Up the hill to the green to a top hat setting. Misclub short and the ball may roll all the way back down to the edge of the water hazard. A par here is generally considered a victory

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The final examination and the "Home Hole" looks like a pushover. A sure par or an occasional birdie seems it should be the norm. But the bunkers on both sides of the fairway in the drive zone force the golfer to try to find the short grass in the fairway. A putting green lacking a little drama often rears its head and bites the careless golfer in the plus-fours to add a disappointment to the round
