A. J. Jolly Golf Course hole by hole
Par 3Par 4Par 5
Hole 1
330
yds ·White
Straight opener with extra room right. Missing left finds trees, and a miss right leaves a tough up-and-in.
Hole 2
389
yds ·White
Needs accuracy and some distance off the tee, with a small hazard right of the fairway. The approach is uphill to a green with a bunker on the right.
Hole 3
364
yds ·White
An open hole, but a miss long or left makes the up-and-down very difficult. The green slopes sharply from back to front.
Hole 4
291
yds ·White
Dogleg-left par 4 where long hitters can try to carry the trees; the safe layup is about 235 yards. The approach is downhill to a large green, so avoid going long.
Hole 5
285
yds ·White
A tight driving hole with a hazard line running up the left side. The green is two-tiered, and a miss long left can cost a big number.
Hole 6
181
yds ·White
The first of three demanding par 3s, uphill and often needing an extra club. Bunkers sit left and right, and a bad miss left goes out of bounds.
Hole 7
290
yds ·White
A short par 3 that still asks for about a 200-yard carry. Water lies long or left of the green.
Hole 8
166
yds ·White
An elevated green that plays true to its yardage. Short-siding yourself leaves a tough up-and-down.
Hole 9
549
yds ·White
The longest hole on the course. Missing right is safe and missing left is likely wet; where you lay up decides how uphill the approach is.
Hole 10
337
yds ·White
Called the signature hole: two 180-yard shots, or a risky driver. The more club you take off the tee, the tighter the target gets.
Hole 11
467
yds ·White
A reachable par 5 for a good drive, though hanging limbs can block a go-for-two. A bunker guards the right side of the green.
Hole 12
337
yds ·White
Known as the Road Hole. Out of bounds is left and trees are right, so an accurate tee shot is needed. Long or left is the bad miss at the green.
Hole 13
302
yds ·White
A dogleg-left par 4 some players can reach with a towering, accurate tee shot. The layup leaves an uphill wedge, with a bunker right of the green.
Hole 14
315
yds ·White
Dogleg left where skirting the big tree on the left sets up a wedge approach. Woods lie left, and a large bunker sits below the green.
Hole 15
174
yds ·White
A par 3 that plays true to its yardage. Avoid the left side at all costs, where a waste bunker and a hazard wait.
Hole 16
429
yds ·White
The longest par 4 and the hardest hole. It takes a long, accurate drive and approach to the most difficult green; long or right is costly.
Hole 17
349
yds ·White
A slight dogleg left with two fairways split by a road and rough. The approach is downhill and may play a club shorter, with water beyond the target.
Hole 18
280
yds ·White
A demanding finisher: water left, trees right, and 180 yards or more needed off the tee. The approach is steeply uphill to a green sloping back to front.
