Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee #1 A mild opening hole of medium length but don’t be fooled as the approach shot is well guarded with bunkers right and long and out of bounds left that is devilishly close a tee shot of 220 yards or so to the top of the hill is ideal to approach this green from.
From The Fairway
On The Green Once on the green, which is small, putting can be tricky, as the surface always seems to be falling away making the read difficult.
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee #2 Maybe the longest short five pars one will ever play. The hole is played up a gentle grade from tee to green and two good shots can put you on if not a short shot is left.
From The Fairway
On The Green The fun now starts as the green is tilted strongly back to front and creates interesting putting, stay below the hole and the advantage is yours.
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee #3 A picturesque downhill four par dogleg left requiring a right middle placement of the tee shot to avoid the trees left and bunker right and typically played into a prevailing wind helps add length to this medium length hole.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is large for Marshall Country Club so a well struck second shot is a must to get close for birdie tries.
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee #4 One of the better holes on the entire layout, a straightaway four par with a small well bunkered green. The hole requires two good shots if accomplished one is rewarded with a generous birdie putt but if not saving par can be hazardous.
From The Fairway
On The Green
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee #5 A truly outstanding three par of good length and narrow teardrop shaped green that falls away on three sides to a grass bunker. With Fish Lake as a backdrop maybe the most scenic hole on the course but don’t be deterred for long, as this hole will bite you if you let it.
From The Fairway
On The Green A tee shot of length and accuracy is required for a birdie try or somewhere if front of the green for an easier up and in than the surrounding grass bunker. Par is a good score so enjoy the view after you finish the hole.
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee #6 A short dogleg left tree lined four par with a well-bunkered green requires accurate shots for a birdie try or this hole can sabotage you.
From The Fairway A longer player may want to try and drive the green but the prudent play is to place your tee shot in the right side of the fairway at the corner.
On The Green Once in this position a short to medium iron approach is left to a pancake like green is required. The putting surface may look easy but its subtleness is misleading on many a read.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee #7 The longest five par on the course that only the longest players will reach in two if they navigate the hole correctly.
From The Fairway
On The Green Most people will have an approach of short to medium distance on their third shot to a well bunkered green that again looks inviting but with a gently sloping green well judged distance is critical to secure a good birdie try.
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee #8 Without a doubt the most seductive of the three pars as it takes on a Donald Ross quality with its raised putting surface and three fall off bunkers.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is small in stature but large in difficulty with a distinct rise in the back third and a gentle slope from back to front placing a premium on your tee shot for a birdie putt if not serious work begins to get your ball up and in for par.
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway #9. A medium length four par that is again tree-lined with a slight move to the left in its narrow fairway.
On The Green Tee shots placed dead center in this fairway are recommended. A second shot with a short to mid-iron up the middle of the green is ideal to miss greenside bunkers and allow for birdie putts to any pin position.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee #10. The first hole of the back nine ranks as one of our more difficult requiring a precise tee shot
From The Fairway down the right to O-Btain the best angle for an approach shot to a green that runs away to the players left. A drawing second shot will work best here but the sloping fairway will make it hard to execute so focus on par and create momentum.
On The Green
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee #11. A downhill three par of medium length over
From The Fairway
On The Green water to the largest green on the course is daunting but if accomplished birdies and pars are abundant. The pond usually attracts local wildlife so its not only fun to play this hole it can be entertaining as well.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee #12. Hitch up you pants and swing away on this shortish five par that many can reach in two shots although make certain it is
From The Fairway down the left side of the fairway to avoid encroaching tree on right with your second.
On The Green A large round green with two bunkers for protection may create trouble but birdie should be possible after a well-struck tee ball.
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee #13. The short dogleg right four par can be driven otherwise a tee shot two hundred yards is
From The Fairway
On The Green all that is required to have a short iron approach to a large round green with minimal slope. Avoid the out of bounds left and heather right one should be awarded with a good score on this ego massaging hole.
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee #14. A medium length four par with a slight left turn is the inward nine sneaker.
From The Fairway Trees and out of bounds left and fairway bunker right require that one be attentive on this tee ball.
On The Green The approach shot to a green surrounded by out of bounds and two greenside bunkers must be well hit to achieve success, a little sloppiness on this hole can lead to disaster.
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee #15. A short double dogleg left five par that can be as challenging as any around.
From The Fairway
On The Green The tee shot requires a draw right of the trees left and left of the heather and bunker down the right once this is done it may be possible to hit the right side of the green on your next shot but if you must lay up it should be down the right side to O-Btain a clear approach. The green is wide and thin forcing distance control to be optimum to get a good look at birdie.
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee #16. The medium length three par has a
From The Fairway
On The Green fairly large green that is protected left by trees and bunker right. A solid tee shot and not much trouble awaits but get loose left and anything can happen. Birdie or par here is a good start to a finish you’ll long remember.
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee #17. The seventeenth is a hole you could put on any golf course and help it.
From The Fairway A long four par moving slightly left with fairway bunkers right and left as well as trees also down the right to the green with a left greenside bunker for added protection make this a complete hole for any player.
On The Green Tee shots down the left are best from there a long to medium length shot is needed to find a relatively small green that quarters away to the left. Birdies are rare here but when you make one it is very rewarding.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee #18. Straightaway four par uphill of good length will test your medal with its back to front
From The Fairway
On The Green sloping green that runs left. Greenside bunkers front left and long are best to avoid after a right center tee ball has you well positioned to attack the flagstick. Birdies can be made here but be careful on this tricky sloping green that can bedevil the best of putters.
