Sleepy Hole Golf Course hole by hole
Hole 1
351
yds ·White
A short par 4 with a downhill lie in the fairway and a two-tiered, bunkered green.
Hole 2
470
yds ·White
Pin position decides the play: lay up for a wedge or go for the green in two.
Hole 3
343
yds ·White
Drive down the right side past the tree line, then hit uphill to an elevated green.
Hole 4
135
yds ·White
Pin placement matters on this par 3. Missing long or short is a problem, and the green has two tiers.
Hole 5
470
yds ·White
Reachable in two with a long drive past the bunkers. Stay away from the far right.
Hole 6
327
yds ·White
Hit a safe tee shot to the landing area. The green is elevated, so you may need an extra club.
Hole 7
130
yds ·White
A straightforward par 3. With a middle pin, stay right of it to leave an uphill putt.
Hole 8
385
yds ·White
Aim the tee ball left of center, since hazards start beyond about 230 yards. The green is elevated and well guarded.
Hole 9
401
yds ·White
A narrow landing zone. Watch the wind coming off the river and the trouble in the magnolias.
Hole 10
530
yds ·White
A straight par 5 with out of bounds on both sides and a wide green to finish.
Hole 11
326
yds ·White
A tee shot left leaves an awkward approach to a deep, sloping green.
Hole 12
165
yds ·White
Water guards the right and out of bounds lines the left. Aim for the left back bunker.
Hole 13
445
yds ·White
Out of bounds right and a lateral hazard left, with a tricky three-tier green.
Hole 14
372
yds ·White
A difficult par 4. Tee off to the right side away from the big tree, and water guards the green.
Hole 15
414
yds ·White
Plenty of room off the tee, but out of bounds waits on the left. A good birdie chance.
Hole 16
149
yds ·White
The wind is deceptive here, so check the lake to judge conditions.
Hole 17
327
yds ·White
A short dogleg right where bunkers and trees make cutting the corner risky.
Hole 18
375
yds ·White
The signature hole, with trouble on every side and a downhill approach to the green.
