Hole Name Battle of Bear Paw
From The Tee This straight-away shorter hole requires a drive favoring the left side of the fairway.
From The Fairway After good drive, the second shot can be an iron into a deep, two-tiered green

Hole 3
Hole Name Eye of the Raven
From The Tee a challenging Par 3 that drops 80 feet from tee to green.
From The Fairway With just as much danger long as there is short, it’s all about club selection and playing it safe to the middle of the green. The altitude of the tee box suggests 1 to 2 fewer clubs.

Hole 4
Hole Name Battle of Two Hearts
From The Tee The drive should favor the left side of the fairway so you have an unobstructed view of the green.
From The Fairway As you prepare to turn the corner of a severe dogleg right, do not take direct aim at the flagstick, as the green sits on a plateau framed by greenside bunkers protecting its right side.
On The Green Getting away with par is a true feat. Take it and run to the next tee.

Hole 5
Hole Name Emergence of the Chief
From The Tee With danger to the left, a tee shot past the lone tree on the right side of the fairway is ideal.
From The Fairway If anything, your high iron approach shot to an elevated green should miss long and right.
On The Green You might be fortunate to get a kick back onto the green from the backstop.

Hole 6
Hole Name Strong Hearts
From The Tee This is the #1 handicap hole, and for good reason. The fairway ahead slopes strongly right to left. Take aim at the sloping hills that border the fairway right or, for those who prefer a fade, start shaping your shot from the rock on the left side of the fairway.
From The Fairway You will be hitting uphill to a well-protected green where there is a rock cropping to the left, an arroyo that creeps along the right side of the green, and, for good measure, a bunker just short and right. The approach tends to play a little longer than marked.
On The Green If you’re lucky enough to find yourself on in two, well, a tricky undulating green is anything but security for par.

Hole 7
Hole Name Challenge Met
From The Tee Any tee shot that finds the fairway leaves an open approach shot to the green.
From The Fairway Though the green is protected by an unpredictable arroyo on the right and bunkers short of the green, proper club selection should have you safely on, putting for birdie. The smart play is a little long on the approach shot.
On The Green Any shot in the middle front might not hang on and may find the arroyo. Hit it long and your ball may find the center of the green.

From The Fairway

From The Fairway No matter the pin location, a play to the middle of the green is useful.

Hole 11
Hole Name Widow Maker
From The Tee Swirling winds and a steep green make the right club as important as the right swing on this Par 3
From The Fairway all the danger is short and the back drop will help long tee shots come off the hill towards the green.
On The Green This green yields the most holes-in-one when the pin is up front.

Hole 16
Hole Name Retired With Honors
From The Tee You may be tempted to go for it downwind and downhill, but the smart play is actually a mid-iron or fairway wood from the tee.
From The Fairway This allows you to dial in your approach shot and stick it close to the pin.
On The Green

On The Green This green sits on a plateau but is fairly friendly.

Hole 18
Hole Name Memoirs of Honor
From The Tee The tee shot must clear the ravine to have a chance for a lay up. The big hitter can attempt to cut as much of the dogleg as they feel confident with and attempt to go for the green in two
From The Fairway If you choose to lay up, leave yourself a short iron in; this green is there for the taking.
On The Green Bunkers on both sides guard the green, which slopes gently to the right.
