Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A hand shake of an opening hole, a long Iron or fairway wood will leave you a short iron from the widest part of the fairway.
On The Green If you choose a driver, you must be accurate! A hard hit shot may find the lake on the left, or the stream channel on the right. Deceptive bunkers are well short of the green, which is pitched sharply, from back to front. Avoid missing long, O-B looms beyond stone wall!
Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Hit away! Best line for tee shot is to the right of the fairway bunker. Well-struck drives will make it all the way down the hill, setting up a chance to carry the bunker complex on the face of the hill on the second shot. Otherwise, a lay-up to the bunkers on the second shot is the safest option. Severe uphill approach and false-front requires at least one additional club!
On The Green
Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Drives in the fairway will be rewarded with plenty of roll-out, leaving a short-iron approach to this fantastic, short par four. A deep grass bunker guards the front right of the Willie Park Jr-inspired green complex.
On The Green Take note of the pin position, the back-right portion of the reverse L-shaped green is a bowl five feet below the long, slender left side. Do not go long of this green!
Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Driver down the right side of the fairway, at the giant Bur Oak in the distance, is the safest play on the #1 Handicap hole. Then things get interesting! Risk/reward second shot hit perfectly over right edge of fairway bunker complex will run out, all the way home. Otherwise, a lay-up short or high-right leaves a wedge to a very challenging, crowned green.
On The Green A miss to the left of the green is a sure bogey, or more. A bail-out to the right is much more friendly.
Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The best line for this blind tee shot is right-center of the fairway on this long par four, which is entirely void of bunkers.
On The Green A complex of hills and valleys may result in an awkward stance for your approach shot to a very receptive "punch-bowl" green. Errant tee shots will have to negotiate several tall Shagbark Hickories both left and right. If a lay-up is needed, be mindful of the stream channels on both sides of the fairway, 30 yards short of the front of the green. Remember to call "bank" before exploiting the back o
Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee The first par-three plays downhill and slightly short of the measured yardage. Shots hit over the bunker guarding the right-front will release onto the green surface.
From The Fairway
On The Green Shots struck deep and left will run over the green. There are plenty of opportunities to be creative with recovery shots, so bring your imagination! A miss left of this green is no picnic, so choose your line wisely.
Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The drive requires a water-carry to a very wide and receptive fairway.
On The Green The optimal line is left-center, which will bring the "stair-step" fairway bunkers into play, but avoids a blind approach shot. Pay attention to the pin location relative to the large Elm tree in the distance as you exit the tees. This relatively small green has a swale bisecting it, lengthwise, which actually makes an approach from the right much more desirable. The front is receptive, with a "fu
Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee A long par 3 that requires the tee shot carry dual ponds separated by a "wagon-wheel" path. Wind and pin-position can affect club selection by as many as 4 clubs! Short shots leave a relatively easy chip-and-putt par. Misses long and left are much more difficult!
From The Fairway
On The Green A shelf on the back left of the green allows for interesting pin positions, as well as some dramatic breaking putts!
Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee Perhaps the best short par four you will ever play! A drainage channel, heather, and dramatic bunkering guard the entire right side.
From The Fairway
On The Green The safest drive is left of these hazards, leaving a straight, short-iron approach to a slender green with a backstop as insurance. The more aggressive play is over the trouble, which will leave a short pitch, or even an eagle putt! Disaster awaits any approach missed left. Putts from the back of this sneaky green are very fast and break hard left.
Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee A drive aimed at the tall American Elm is perfectly positioned to avoid the
From The Fairway fairway bunker on the right and the fescue that protects the entire left side of the hole. Depending on the direction of the wind, a driver from the tee isn’t always preferred.
On The Green The green slopes away from the open front, landing short and allowing for the ball to ramble onto the surface is a preferred shot. All balls will funnel back and to the right.
Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee A picturesque, long par three that plays downhill, over a meandering stream channel. The prevailing, right to left crosswind will push the tee shot towards a large bunker, tall fescue, and the dreaded “chocolate drops”. A bail-out right is safer, but no picnic,
From The Fairway
On The Green as the right side of the green is protected by a series of swales and scalloped edges that will test your short game to the limit. A better option is straight over the “shoe bunker” onto the slanted approach, which will release the tee ball onto the putting surface. Pay attention to the green slopes as many putts are straighter than they appear.
Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee A well-struck drive will carry the hill and bunker and should roll out into a wide landing zone.
From The Fairway
On The Green The second shot must avoid the left bunker, 80 yards short of the green. The dramatic green complex falls off sharply behind and to the right of the putting surface, which is two-tiered from right to left. An approach short of this green isn’t all that bad. Play smart and birdie is possible, but you will pay dearly for any mistakes!
Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee The final 3-par plays downhill to a well-bunkered
From The Fairway
On The Green green with a skinny opening in front. The closely-mown rear of the green complex will direct long shots toward the hazard beyond. A high, soft tee shot is needed to hold this relatively level putting surface. Putts from the front of the green to a back–left hole location will break left more than you expect!
Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee The last of a trio of world-class short par fours! Check the pegboard left of the tee for today’s pin position;
From The Fairway this will help you chose which side of the widest fairway on the course to aim. Playing down the center is not the preferred line. Catch your breath after climbing “Coronary Hill”, determine an exact distance, and take dead aim at the pin. Avoid the “Lion’s Mouth” bunker if you want to keep par in the picture! Very difficult putting surface if you are on the wrong side
On The Green
Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee The long, final stretch begins with the lengthiest hole on the course.
From The Fairway A tee shot directed at the corner of the tennis house plays downwind to a fast and firm fairway.
On The Green This will easily cover the first bunker and set up a long-iron second. Approach shots coming in hot will have a tough time holding this green, and will release long, leaving a difficult recovery. Bouncing-on, or bailing-out right, is a much safer option. Double check the break(s) on this subtle, hard to read green!
Hole 16
Hole Name
From The Tee Sneaky-long par four that plays back uphill and into the prevailing wind.
From The Fairway Driver should favor left side of fairway to allow a release and a better angle to approach the green, which features a firm, wide-open front apron. A set of three angled bunkers along the right side of green actually extend 40 yards short of the putting surface, creating a Donald Ross-style cross-bunker effect for pins located right.
On The Green Avoid at all costs misses left and long for pins positioned on the left side of this tricky green!
Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee Aim between the centuries-old Walnut trees for the best opportunity to attack this unique five-par. If you dare to take on the “eyebrow bunkers” on your second shot, make sure you take enough club, as recovery is nearly impossible from these hazards! A safer option is to lay-up to 100 yards,
From The Fairway favoring the right side of the fairway, leaving a wedge that plays uphill and longer than the measured yardage. A large plateau is separated from the green by a Biarritz-style valley that will collect any shot not struck purely.
On The Green Plenty of bail out space exists to the left of the green. The crowned center of the putting surface repels balls toward the edges, which fall off on all four sides of this square green.
Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee The final hole is yet another long four-par. The “aiming bunker”
From The Fairway on the right side of the fairway directs the drive to a narrow landing area, framed on the left by a very penal bunker and on the right by a series of mounds.
On The Green You will be rewarded for your accuracy; however, as the “chute” will propel the tee shot an extra 30-40 yards! The approach shot should look familiar-the old 18th green has been re-created, inch-for inch! Stay below the hole! Putts to front and left hole positions are very fast from the back of the green. A pin in the diagonal swale will yield lots of birdies.
