Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The left side of the fairway is the ideal position for a drive on this long par 5 opening hole.

On The Green If you miss it, it's better to find the bunker on the left than the trees on the right. Bunkers close to the green can grab mishit layups, but the slightly elevated green complex can be reached in two when not hitting into the wind.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The bunker along the upper-right side of the fairway comes into play when hitting driver from the elevated tee,

On The Green but a shorter play to the left leaves a better approach angle. This extremely deep green is long and thin, creating a two- to three-club difference between a front and back hole location.

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This dogleg left demands a very good tee shot that avoids hazards on both sides of the fairway.

On The Green A longer iron will likely be used to play to a slightly elevated green that is deep but narrow. It also has quite a bit of contouring: the front quarter is a false front, the middle is bowl shaped, and the back feeds back and to the left.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee A slightly downhill shot on the first par 3 requires a mid to long iron. Hole location is key here, with the potential for a two-club difference between a front and back hole location.

From The Fairway

On The Green The green works left to right, turning a miss left into a very tough up and down.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A very difficult tee shot to a fairway that works dramatically from right to left. Misses left end up in rough and behind trees,

On The Green likely forcing a pitch out, while bunkers on the right side make for a difficult recovery. The elevated green works from front right to back left, and is guarded by deep bunkers. There's not much undulation, but the overall slope adds to the challenge. The prudent play is short and to the right, with an alleyway into the green from there.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway The most dramatic elevation change on the course is from this tee to a wide fairway.

On The Green The huge green has plenty of movement, with three distinct portions. Wind usually plays a large role here. If a drive is far enough left, then a bump-and-run shot can be considered; otherwise it's a forced carry over water, especially to a back-right hole location.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee A demanding par 3 that requires a shot to a specific point and yardage.

From The Fairway

On The Green This green is the smallest on the golf course and angles away from the teeing areas. The smartest and optimal strategy is to play for the front left portion of the green. A miss long left of the green leaves you with a challenging up and down.

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee Longer hitters can play a tee shot over bunkers on the left and go for this very elevated green in two.

From The Fairway

On The Green Play to the right and your second shot is a lay up-either in front of or across a wetland area, the latter leaving an uphill pitch to the mostly hidden putting surface. Collection areas are found left, right and long of the green.

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee Hugging the right-side treeline cuts off some yardage, while too far left can bring very penal rough into play.

From The Fairway

On The Green Favor the right side of the very deep green complex, where a natural contour provides a slight backboard that moves shots left.

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee The real challenge here begins with a second shot to the deepest green on the course.

From The Fairway

On The Green The putting surface moves from front left side to back right. Missing to the left virtually ensures a bogey while the front-right bunker gets progressively steeper closer to the green.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A wetland area hugs the right side of this fairway but usually does not come into play.

On The Green A quality second shot is needed to the elevated green positioned on a plateau, allowing only a view of the flagstick. A false front means long is better than short here.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway A fairway bunker is in play on the right side while fescue grass borders the opposite side.

On The Green The elevated green works from front right to back left and has two tiers, with a narrow top portion. A slight backboard on the right can move shots to the middle of the green. You simply cannot miss long here.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee The sharp dogleg-left offers a risk-reward scenario from the teeing ground.

From The Fairway Taking it over the left corner brings trees in play but shortens the hole, while playing out toward fairway bunkers on the right is safer.

On The Green The smallest and hardest-to-hit green on the course is slightly pushed up and narrow. Players are better off in the front bunker, or chipping, pitching or putting from short of the green rather than going long.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee The longest of the par 3s on the Old Course plays to a very large green that has much undulation and movement.

From The Fairway

On The Green Due to the size of the green there could be as much as a three club difference depending on the hole location. The smartest strategy is to play for the middle of the green which will allow you to avoid the small deep bunker as well as the penalty areas.

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway This par 5/4 appears to be generous from the teeing area but it's imperative to avoid the many fairway bunkers.

On The Green The layup zone is very small and requires a specific shot, both with yardage and direction due to the width of the fairway as well as the multiple bunkers. Missing the fairway from the teeing area will make this very difficult. The green is very large with considerable movement from the right side down to the left side. Missing your approach shot right of the green makes for an extremely difficult

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee The par 3 signature hole is located right behind the clubhouse and requires a solid mid-iron over water.

From The Fairway

On The Green The green, which is bigger than it appears from the tee, has the hazard right against front edge, with a subtle slope from right to left.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee The final par 4 is a risk-reward hole where the risk might be too much.

From The Fairway

On The Green You need a perfect tee shot with a driver over the left-side bunkers for a short chip into the green, or you can lay back and then use wedge into the green. Push any shot right and water comes into play. This small green works from the left side back toward the water. Missing left of the green brings another hazard into play, so there's no real bailout from that area either.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee An exciting par 5 finishing hole with a very generous landing area off the tee that makes going for the green an option, but may require a carry over water.

From The Fairway

On The Green This very long green moves from left to right with a ridge in the middle.
