Hole 1
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Longer hitters, beware of the fairway bunker about 250 yards out on the left. Any drive just short or just right of that landmark is a good start. From there, your second shot demands a well struck ball, as the green is surrounded by a drop off short and right, bunkers left, and penalty area long. PIck a club you can commit to and swing

Hole 2
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway The ideal location to come in from is the left center of the fairway, which will give you the best angle into this small and severely sloped green. Give every ounce of respect to putts above the hole, as you can roll it off the front if you are not careful! This putting surface led to it being the toughest hole to par in the New England and Maine Amateurs in 2018 and 2019.

Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Before you tee off, try and take note of where the hole location is. The wide fairway allows for better angles to the hole location if you can take advantage with your tee shot. A large putting surface awaits with many subtle breaks

Hole 4
Hole Name
From The Tee The middle of the green is always a good play here! The short distance tempts you to go flag hunting. An errant shot can leave a delicate chip or pitch as there is a severe drop off to the left, right, and short of this green.

Hole 5

From The Tee Use the left edge of the pool house to align yourself off the tee. Do your best to get your approach shot on the correct side of the spine in the middle of the green. Also note that the back of the green can be used as a backstop to bring your ball back to the hole.

Hole 6
Hole Name
From The Tee Play this hole backwards in your mind before you tee off. Think of what yardage you want to hit your third shot from and plan accordingly. On the second shot, be sure to be aware of the bunker on the right at the 150 yard marker. A newly restored green awaits with three distinct putting tiers.

Hole 7
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway It is never a bad idea to aim at the left side of this green. The carry over the water is shorter, and even a shot that lands in the fairway approach will leave a playable angle to almost any hole location on this green. Take this approach and you will be sure to walk to the 8th tee with the same ball!

Hole 9
Hole Name
From The Tee Think about your third shot as you play this hole. If you need a heroic effort on your second shot, think about where you want to be on your third, as the steep incline to the green is not a fun place to play from. Up on the green, downhill putts will be very slippery, and putts across the green will have some of the most break on the course.

Hole 10
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Beware of the fairway bunkers right and left on this hole. The bunker on the left is not visible and comes into play at about 230 yards from the tee. If your tee shot avoids those two pitfalls, take aim at the middle of the green for your approach. It will be tempting to go for the flag with a shorter club in your hand. Off target approaches can leave some interesting up-and-downs on this green th

Hole 11
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway Local knowledge is a must as the cross bunker is not visible from the tee. Longer hitters must decide to lay up short or try and access the recently widened fairway off the tee. The downhill approach to the green allows for both the aerial or ground game approach to reaching the putting surface.

Hole 12
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A well struck tee shot that avoids the two fairway bunkers is a good start. The approach may be a blind shot depending on your angle, Players have the choice of flying it to the putting surface or playing the ground game as the final 50 yards of fairway go back downhill and run into the green. Make sure you do not overclub as out of bounds is behind the green.

Hole 13
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A dogleg right par 4 that abutts the 12th hole. Positioning off the tee is crucial as drives that run through the fairway into the left rough will be blocked out. The downhill approach plays about a club less than normal, and can play very differently depending on how wet or dry the conditions are.

Hole 14
Hole Name
From The Tee It looks flat to the eye, but this hole tends to play about 5-7 yards longer due to the slight uphill topography. Being on the correct tier of the putting green is helpful, but a little short going uphill is a more comforting option than chipping or putting back down the hill.

Hole 15
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway For most players, the fairway bunker on the left is a good target. For the longest hitters, a decision is to be made to use a shorter club or hit driver and cut yardage off the corner. This hole plays much differently depending on if the hole is on the top right shelf, or the bottom left. If the pin is left, use the slope to funnel ito the hole for a birdie opportunity. For pins on the top right,

Hole 17
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway There is 40 yards of fairway beyond the cross bunkers and before the green, so any style of shot is available to you. A ridge that cuts through the middle of this green from back left to front right provides plenty of excitement (or nightmares) depending on where the pin is on a given day

Hole 18

From The Tee
From The Fairway The final hole asks for your best. Tee shots must avoid the three fairway bunkers, followed by an uphill approach to a putting surface with numerous pin positions of varying slope. Do your best to avoid the cross bunker 40 yards from the green that willingly accepts poorly struck approaches
