Par 3Par 4Par 5
Hole 1
366
yds ·Green
Trouble is on the right, so aim left of center between the 150-yard marker and the left edge of the fairway.
Hole 2
522
yds ·Green
Drive up the center between the bunkers, then play the second to the right third of the fairway to avoid the bunker on the left. The long green makes pin position important.
Hole 3
359
yds ·Green
A good drive carries the right fairway bunker; if unsure, aim left at the 150-yard marker. Avoid going long on the approach, where the woods drop away steeply.
Hole 4
327
yds ·Green
Aim the tee shot at the tall pines on the right hill. The main hazard is a group of four bunkers on the left.
Hole 5
339
yds ·Green
The tee shot must carry the left bunker but won't reach the right one, so aim slightly left of center. The front-right bunker is the only trouble at the green.
Hole 6
170
yds ·Green
The large green is deep, so judging distance is critical. Avoid missing right, where mounds and a path lead into woods.
Hole 7
485
yds ·Green
Any fairway drive works, but both sides have serious trouble. Going straight at the pin on the second shot risks the pond; follow the fairway left of the big oaks for an easier third.
Hole 8
132
yds ·Green
Club selection is about distance. Going long is rarely a problem, but missing short or right brings a penalty.
Hole 9
452
yds ·Green
Hit a long drive up the middle and avoid the mounded trees on the right. Expect a long second shot and watch for wind.
Hole 10
346
yds ·Green
A split fairway on a right dogleg. Aim to carry the hill at the 150-yard marker or go just right of it, since a drive left of the marker can end in the woods.
Hole 11
485
yds ·Green
Play down the middle. Drives far right can finish on the mounds, and cutting the left corner too tight leads to woods. Crossing the 10th hole is out of bounds, and the green slopes right to left.
Hole 12
164
yds ·Green
Wind is the key factor: add one club for a mild breeze, two for a moderate breeze and three for a stiff wind.
Hole 13
251
yds ·Green
The landing area feeds the green from both sides. A long drive from the forward tee can reach the green, but going too far left risks the fence.
Hole 14
481
yds ·Green
No notes for this hole yet.
Hole 15
338
yds ·Green
Aim just left of center. A small brook crosses the fairway about 250 yards out on the left and 210 yards out on the right.
Hole 16
379
yds ·Green
Keep every shot, including the second, on the right third, since the green slopes right to left. Avoid the left bunkers and the steep bank into the beaver pond.
Hole 17
196
yds ·Green
Add one or two clubs to your normal yardage. Short shots tend to fall onto the hill or into the bunker, while going slightly long is safe.
Hole 18
411
yds ·Green
A wide fairway. Drive as far as possible, then play the second to the right side of the green and avoid the bunker on the left.
