Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee The pros will play their drives left-to-right or fly the right corner of the dogleg, leaving a straight shot to the relatively defenseless green.

From The Fairway But a tee shot pulled left or hit dead straight can go through the dogleg to a tree-lined ditch along the left side of the fairway. Trouble lurks there.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee Again, your drive is your most important shot. If you go left into the trees, then you're basically dead-and don't forget the pair of protruding bunkers on the left that dare you to try cutting the dogleg short.

From The Fairway

On The Green Your mid-iron second shot can be tough, considering the shallowness of the well-protected green. Once on, watch the rolling putting surface.

From The Tee Trees and hazard on the left make a long and accurate drive essential, then a mid-to-short iron to

On The Green the green. Pin placement to the left can make the third a tough birdie. In 1991's second round of the PGA Senior tournament, the hole helped Rocky Thompson charge ahead of the field when he birdied and Trevino, who shared the lead after day one, three-putted for a bogey after slamming his 12-ft. first put eight feet past the hole.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee The small green is deceptively steep-sloping, prO-Bably the slowest putt front to back on the course.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee This short, tricky dogleg right requires a careful tee shot. Big hitters will try to go over the willow tree at the turn of the dogleg, but that long amoeboid trap past the tree,

From The Fairway so O-Bvious in an overhead view, is hidden from sight off the tee, and some real junk awaits those who overshoot the fairway. A lot of players won't use a driver; a three or four wood off the tee still leaves a short iron to the green. It's a firm green but watch the water down the hill behind. A reasonable birdie opportunity.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The biggest hurdle may be the fairway's width - it gets tight 200 yards out. At that point you have the additional concerns of a bunker, some out-of-bounds pines on the left, and a grouping of potentially troublesome trees on the right. Even if you split the fairway with your drive, you're not out of the woods, so to speak. Your approach has to be dead-on because of the two bunkers that leave a na

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway If you hit a severe hook or slice off the tee, you could end up in sand (a pair of bunkers frame the fairway about 230 to 240 yards out) or in difficult rough.

On The Green And you'll want to lie for your approach shot, since the elevated green is guarded by a fair - sized pond in front. The green requires finesse: it's two-tiered and can cause putting prO-Blems.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee You have to take into account the pin position. If the flag is to the right, the water sitting in front of

From The Fairway

On The Green the green can become a prO-Blem. If the flag is to the left, the bunker behind the green may come into play. The challenge of putting here can make matters worse. Three bulky ridges form a Y, subdividing the green into three sloping sections.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee If you don't slice your drive, the trio of bunkers sitting 235 yards from the tee won't be a prO-Blem.

From The Fairway In fact, it's advisable to keep your drive on the left side of the fairway in order to open up your approach shot. Five bunkers surround the elevated green, making your approach a challenge. The bunker closest to the green on the right is the deepest trap on the course.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The fairway veers slightly from right to left, requiring draw on your drive. The trees at the dogleg have been trimmed back, but a mistake to the left still could make your second shot tough to play.

On The Green

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee The Pros will play a long iron and try to make a birdie by leaving the ball below the hole. Pin placement has a lot to do with their success rate.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway Players will need to keep their tee shots to the right side of the fairway, which is sloped and tends to kick everything to the left.

On The Green The green itself provides a large, inviting target, although it's tiered and tricky enough to cause some three-putting.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The most common tactic: tee off with a 4 or 5 iron and hit your ball into the middle of the fairway to set up a clean approach.

On The Green Once you've landed on the green, you can expect a few fits, thanks to a double tiered putting surface that is raised on the outer edges and slopes to a swallow in the center.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee Most will try a driver or 3-wood from the elevated tee. New mounds right of the fairway protect errant tee shots from disaster.

From The Fairway

On The Green Long hitters will reach the green in two. The green is guarded on the left front corner by a bunker, and on the right by three bunkers and mounding. A birdie will require players to negotiate the new features and land on the front of the green.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway When sizing up your tee shot, you're looking at a fairway that's fairly open (the bunkers to the left and right - 250 yards from the tee -

On The Green shouldn't come into play). Your approach shot is fairly open, despite the trio of bunkers surrounding the green. Once you're on, you have to deal with the green's back-to-front slope and it's phantom breaks. Watch the water on the right.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The fairway is wide open--but just make sure you land on it, because a ball hit to either side could put you in some thick rough. A well-struck drive leaves you a fairway wood or long iron away from the green, which is sloped and very large.

On The Green The green is guarded by bunkers to the left and right and a row of spruces behind.

Hole 17

From The Tee Lovely and long, this par-3 has had it's tee re-aligned with it's green,

From The Fairway

On The Green giving it the potential to play from as short as 169 yards from the new tee. Difficult to birdie due in part to pin placement on the large, two-tiered green. It's difficult to get a tee shot close to the hole when the pin is back left or right, and a long putt has severe slope and break.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee A formidable hole for the average player, the 18th poses no great prO-Blems for the pros.

From The Fairway The drive must be laid up short of a pond that lurks some 230 yards from the tee, and most professionals will use a long iron for the jO-B. Another long iron or fairway wood will position the ball on the upslope,

On The Green just a wedge or short iron from the elevated green. But the green is treacherous, with steep slopes from back to front and right to left.
