Hole 5
441
yds ·Gold
A par 5 that runs along the road. The fairway is wide enough off the tee, but the right side brings trees and the street into play. The approach needs care to stay out of the greenside sand.
Hole 6
322
yds ·Gold
One of the longer par 4s. The tee shot plays over a large central bunker to a downhill fairway, and the bi-level green makes the approach and putting tricky.
Hole 7
142
yds ·Gold
Known as the Box Car Hole. The green is perched steeply above the surrounding rough, so missing short, right or long usually leaves a hard up-and-down.
Hole 8
324
yds ·Gold
A short par 4 that rewards a well-placed drive past the large fairway bunker. A miss right leaves a shot over sand and a tall berm to the green.
Hole 9
520
yds ·Gold
No notes for this hole yet.
Hole 10
161
yds ·Gold
A long par 3 with a fairway bunker running toward the green. The danger is right, where sand sits below a green that slopes uphill from front to back.
Hole 11
428
yds ·Gold
No notes for this hole yet.
Hole 12
167
yds ·Gold
A par 3 with a large green and cliff-like slopes, including a shelf across the middle. Distance control matters more than reading lines.
Hole 13
492
yds ·Gold
The longest par 5, with heavy mounding. The green sits beyond a steep depression and climbs to a mounded putting surface, so the second shot needs to be long and in the fairway.
Hole 14
125
yds ·Gold
The shortest par 3. Aim for the middle to left of the green, as the right side drops steeply into a long bunker.
Hole 15
285
yds ·Gold
No notes for this hole yet.
Hole 16
339
yds ·Gold
A long par 4 with a blind tee shot where the left side is the miss to avoid. Laying up for a short approach is a reasonable plan.
