Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee A gentle beginning hole. A long iron or 3 wood tee shot to the bottom left takes the woods on the right and long out of play.
From The Fairway
On The Green When greens are hard and fast, a high second shot is what is needed. One of the larger greens on the course requires accuracy with the second shot.
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee A draw off the tee is advantageous. A good long iron leaves you with about 125-130 yards to the green sloping from back to front.
From The Fairway
On The Green A shot landing short will roll up, or at worst, leave the player with a relatively easy chip shot.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee A 3-wood or 2-iron off the tee will position you for a shot of about 200 yards to the green.
From The Fairway A second shot played to the right of the hill will bring the ball toward the green.
On The Green Severe undulations on the green require third shots to be placed below the hole. A 10 foot putt below the hole is preferred over a 3 foot downhill putt.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee Depending on the tee location, anything from a 5-iron to a 2-iron is required.
From The Fairway
On The Green A slight fade is the ball flight of choice. Most players "under club" on this hole. However, being short is preferred to being long.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee A drive with a slight fade will give player a short chip to small green. A drive too far right is usually a double-bogey waiting to happen. (Hint: If second shot is blind, play shot to left and use slope to steer ball to green).

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee The flag is your target off the tee. A shot too far to the right could kick into the woods.
From The Fairway
On The Green A blind second shot to a severely sloped green follows. Better to be below the hole on the birdie putt.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee A drive over the hill will leave player with a short iron to the green. Under firm conditions, it is a good idea to hit a high shot onto the green. Balls landing short will run over the green leaving a tough chip.

On The Green atch flagstick for wind as tee is protected by trees on the right.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee A draw is the shot of choice off the tee. A shot hung out to far to the right will leave you in the rough. A blind second shot follows. Better shot is to leave shot short, as ball will bounce severely.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee A wide fairway awaits your tee shot. Avoid bunker on left. A mid to short iron is left to a small green. A good target is the generous landing area.

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A draw of the tee will leave an uphill short iron. A generously wide fairway only presents real difficulties on left and in the trees right. Second shots through the back of the green could prove disastrous.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee Short and/or left of the elevated green could result in a high score on this par 3. Take the cavernous left side out of play by aiming on the right side of the green.

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee The first of three birdie holes. A short par 4 with plenty of landing area. Avoid green side bunkers and you'll be rewarded with a short pitch to a large but challenging green.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee What you see is what you get. A very short par 4 that can be driven.
From The Fairway
On The Green Anything but a slice will leave you a good birdie opportunity. Two bunkers catch inaccurate drives, and the woods come into play for balls pushed too far right.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee The tee shot is demanding. Any ball to far right or left will cost you at least one shot.
From The Fairway An accurate tee ball on this medium length par 5 will leave players with about 225-250 yards to the hole.
On The Green A well-struck long iron or wood will yield a good birdie opportunity. A green with many bumps and breaks will challenge even the best of putters.

Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway This is our signature hole. The key to this hole is placing your tee ball on the top of the first fairway hill. From the elevated tees, a shot of 180-200 yards is the idea.
On The Green From the lower tees, a much shorter shot is necessary. From this landing area a shot of 100-140 yards is possible. Shots short or right will balloon your score.

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee Simple tee shot; impossible putt from above hole. A very short par 3 to green that slopes sharply from back to front. The pin placement often determines your success on this hole.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee A good finishing hole that requires a drive long enough to give the player a short iron to the green. After tee shot, avoid the large deep bunker while stopping your ball on the green, small thin green provides the challenge.
