Hole MAP
Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee Right out of the gate on the third nine the player is presented with a great risk-reward option.
From The Fairway This par 4 dog leg to the left has a bunker that protects the inside of the leg.
On The Green The long hitter can challenge the bunker and if successful, he will have a wedge shot into one of the smaller greens on the golf course; miss your tee shot and you’re punching out of the woods. If you choose to play it safe off the tee, you will be left with a mid-iron shot into an elevated green that is well protected by bunkers.

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee This par 4 provides the player with a generous fairway off the tee.
From The Fairway
On The Green The approach shot calls for precision as the green slants hard from right to left and front to back. When the pin is back right, a good player can use the slope of the green to his advantage and set up a good look at birdie.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee Once again RO-Bert Trent Jones Sr. gives us a par 5 with a lot of trouble lurking. Off the tee a player must challenge the bunker on the right; otherwise, a straight shot will leave you playing out of the left woods. From there the hole demands a long layup shot. The elevated green has two tiers and it’s guarded by a deep bunker.
From The Fairway
On The Green Really big hitters can go for the green in two but they’ll have to clear a hazard fronting the green. The back left pin is in a bowl and makes birdie a good possibility. Distance control and accuracy are the keys to this approach shot. Find yourself on the wrong tier and a two putt will be difficult.

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee This par 4 presents another risk reward option for the player. If you challenge the right
From The Fairway side off the tee you can catch a fairway that slopes away from you and will propel your ball into a short iron approach shot.
On The Green However, miss right and you will not have a look into the number one handicap hole. Play conservative off the tee and your ball will land into an upslope and you will have a mid to long iron shot into a well guarded green.

Hole 5
Hole Name
From The Tee This is one of the more intimidating par 3 tee shots on the course.
From The Fairway The green is a peninsula surrounded by water and bunkers. Only the most fearless of players will directly chase the back left pin. The wind can be tricky on this hole so take enough club. If you bail out right, you’ll be playing from a bunker or high grass, directly towards the lake.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Once again, Jones has presented us with another risk-reward hole for this par 5.
From The Fairway There is a small hazard that runs up the left side of the fairway and sticks out at about 230 yards off the tee.
On The Green The long hitter will look to carry the hazard and set himself up for a look at the green in two shots. A lateral hazard runs up along the left side of the hole and fronts the left side of the green. The dramatic slope from right to left in the middle of this green can be a friend to those using it to access the back left pin but it brings a three-putt into play if you’re stuck on the wrong side.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee This is a versatile par 3 that can play anywhere from a mid to long iron in depending on where the tee and pin are placed.
From The Fairway
On The Green The green is treacherous with multiple tiers and a forced carry over a large hazard. To have a good look at birdie the player needs to get his ball on the proper tier and underneath the hole. Three is a good score on this tough hole. Bail out left and you’re in the hazard; bail out right and you’ll have a tricky shot from high above.

Hole 8
Hole Name
From The Tee This medium length par 4 has a large bunker on the left side of
From The Fairway the fairway that acts like a magnet to approaching tee shots. A tee ball down the right side of the fairway will open up the green for your approach shot.
On The Green This hole has another severely sloped green the can send poorly struck shots off both the left and back of the green. Get the distance correct and you could have a good look at birdie; miss this green or find your ball on the side of the spine that bisects this green and you should be happy to walk away with a bogey.

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee This final hole of the third nine epitomizes all that Metedeconk is about.
From The Fairway Once again Jones has saved one of his most difficult holes for the last. The hole is a long dog leg to the right and has Metedeconk’s signature pitch pine protecting the right side of the fairway.
On The Green A long drive off the tee over the tree leaves you with a short iron in. However, a tee shot out to the left is your safe route and will leave you a mid to long iron into a green with water front and right. You can bail out to the left. This green complex is treacherous. You must place your ball on the correct tier if you want to think about making a par.
