Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee Accuracy is key on this difficult par 4

From The Fairway Off the tee you have water on the right and out of bounds on the left. Play to the left side of the fairway to give you the best approach into the green. The water you faced off the tee inserts itself in front of the green. The farther left in the fairway you lie, the less water you have to carry on your second shot.

On The Green Pay attention to the pin location as there is a ridge that runs in the center of the green.

From The Tee A lengthy hole with head wind. With water right and a large bunker left,

From The Fairway

On The Green another accurate drive is key. Mounds border the back and right side of the green and the deepest bunker at Thistle borders the left side of the green. If you avoid these the test is not over. The green has two tiers and slopes from back to front. Proper club selection is a must on this approach shot.

From The Tee A difficult yet very fun par 5. Environmental area left and waste bunkers right await you off the tee. Finding the fairway is a must to give you the best score possible on this hole.

From The Fairway

On The Green Your lay-up shot is not a given either. A large bunker and tree await you in the landing area. Your third shot also needs to be carefully placed, bunkers left and a two tiered green are anything but easy.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee What looks to be a straight forward par 4 is anything but.

From The Fairway

On The Green The waste bunker from hole 5 is on your right and a trio of small bunkers lie on your right. The right side of the fairway gives you the best angle of approach. Careful to avoid the two bunkers guarding the green; and the ridge that runs through the center. Careful attention to the pin location here is a must.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee A very difficult hole to start your journey in.

From The Fairway A peninsula fairway with water right, long, and left. If you do hit it left off the tee, hope you find the deep bunker, instead of the drink. A long iron or fairway wood off the tee is sufficient on this short par 4.

On The Green You must cross the water on your approach to a severely sloped two tiered green. Pay attention to pin location.
