Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee The first hole is a long par 5 from an elevated tee across a ridge and up to a green nestled in the distance.

From The Fairway With a series of bunkers bisecting an upper and lower fairway, the player has the option of driving to a broad plateau for a better look at the second shot or playing around the base of the hill on the left. A good drive to the upper portion will reward the player with substantial additional roll and the possibility of the longest hitters getting home in two.

On The Green

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee A commanding view of most of the front nine is seen upon the approach to the second tee along with vistas of distant fields and forests. Although the second is one of the shortest holes on the course, the shot is a testy pitch along an exposed ridgetop. The openness of the hole atop the ridge ensures that the wind is always a factor for the player and will require a creative shot to keep the ball

From The Fairway

On The Green A short iron or wedge from the left side tees lines up with the length of the green but has less approach area to run the ball in. From the right tees, there is more approach but the green's back right pin is tucked behind a deep bunker.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee The third hole is a medium-long par 4 that will normally play into the wind.

From The Fairway

On The Green The correct path to the green is relatively flat for the well-executed shot, but an error to the left or right will most likely result in an awkward lie that is blind or semi-blind to a very large green. The green curves around a deep hollow on the front right of the approach with two small bunkers protecting the right side of the green.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee The tee shot of the fourth hole is across a broad

From The Fairway valley of native rough to a wildly undulating fairway along a ridge. The green is an enormous double bowl divided by a wide plateau,

On The Green so even a difficult approach has a very good opportunity to reach the green in regulation. A well-struck second will find the ball on the green and hopefully looking for a birdie, but the indifferently struck one will be hard-pressed to avoid a three-putt.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee The fifth is a long par 3 to a punchbowl

From The Fairway

On The Green green with the lowest point at the back right. The best shot to play will be one of 175-190 yards designed to run and then filter down to the pin. This may require anything from a soft, high fade to a low sharp hook to get the ball to work close to the cup, but it will be easier for the higher handicap player to be on the green in regulation and have a go at a birdie.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee The sixth hole shares many of the same teeing areas as the second hole but plays as a medium to short par four in another direction.

From The Fairway

On The Green A wide landing area sloping from right to left is countered by a narrow gauntlet for an approach. The green is a crowned shelf with shaved turf falling away at the left and back and a bunker at the back right. A good opportunity for birdie or par, yet big numbers threaten indifferent approaches.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee Working its way around a large hill on the right and over several large depressions, the seventh is a dramatic medium-length par 5 with a sweeping vista from the very elevated tee, followed by a blind second shot.

From The Fairway Long hitters will often opt to lay up with a fairway wood and the wind behind them in order to avoid going into the white pines just past the landing area.

On The Green

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee The eighth is a wonderfully strategic short par four. Most pin locations will be benefited by a drive over the three bunkers in the ridge 175 yards from the back tee ñ this approach angle gives the player more options on his approach.

From The Fairway The open and safer left side of the fairway demands a pitch over a very deep bunker cut tight to the left side of the green.

On The Green The green is small and severely sloped, with miss-hits rolling off the right side and leaving a difficult shot to the pin.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee This short hole has two teeing options to a kidney-shaped peninsula

From The Fairway

On The Green green perched above a deep bowl and guarded by bunkers on the low side. The green is contoured to allow a ball on the wrong side of the kidney to be putted around the higher midsection to either of the lower ends. The ninth is an intimidating hole that will reward patience and play that use the slopes of the green-site to work the ball to the pin.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee The tenth is a medium-length par four from an elevated tee to a valley that leads gently uphill to a broad,

From The Fairway

On The Green sweeping green. The wide-openness of the hole will mislead players into not placing their tee shot to the correct spot from which to attack the pin, making the approach more difficult to get close to the hole.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee The eleventh is a medium par 3 with

From The Fairway

On The Green the green set in an idyllic wooded setting on a plateau fronted by a sharp valley. The shot will be either diagonally across the face of the ridge or a shorter pitch straight ahead at the green. The green is a crowned spine on the plateau, making for delicate recovery shots depending on the placement of the flag.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee The twelfth is a very long par four, from an elevated tee to a tight valley with a steep hill on the right and woods on the left.

From The Fairway

On The Green The green, although small, is bunkerless and will accept a well-executed shot and provide a good opportunity for a par for many players.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee The thirteenth is a very short par 4 and has the largest green on the course.

From The Fairway Numerous options off the tee will reward the player who places his drive in the right spot of the wide fairway to attack the pin position of the day.

On The Green The green is extremely undulating and will test the approach shots and putting skills of the best players. This hole is unlike any other and will definitely be a topic of conversation at the nineteenth hole!

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee A bold drive over the sandy ridge on the right side of the hole will reward the player with much extra distance and a better angle for the second, possibly even setting up a chance to get to the green for the biggest hitters.

From The Fairway

On The Green The landing area for the second shot and approach gets narrower the closer one gets to the green, with a native sandy scrub area on the right threatening to turn the hole into a struggle for par.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee A long par 4 that demands a big, accurate drive over sandy scrub and a

From The Fairway

On The Green long approach uphill to a perched green, the fifteenth will separate those who can make or create shots and reward them with a par. Birdies will be few and far between here and subsequently pars will provide a big boost for a strong finish to the round.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee A beautiful example of the redan hole, the sixteenth will call for a shot to land short of the green and work its way to the hole from the right.

From The Fairway

On The Green Aggressive shots will run through the green into a swale or bunker at the back. Pulled shots will skirt left into a deep bunker, leaving a very difficult recovery, and pushed or sliced shots will require a delicate touch to get close to the hole.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee A reachable par five for most players, the seventeenth plays to the top of a ridge before falling sharply to a large bowl and then rising again to

From The Fairway

On The Green the green set amongst mature hardwoods. Good drives will crest the landing area at the top of the hill and leave a short iron for an approach.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee The eighteenth plays down an undulating valley and back up to a green set in an amphitheater below the first tees and clubhouse.

From The Fairway

On The Green The approach shot will play towards the dramatic bunkering setting off the green site and demanding precision to the last stroke.
