The Sawmill Golf Club hole by hole
Hole 1
352
yds ·Middle
A generous landing area off the tee, with a waste bunker left and out of bounds right. A greenside bunker and a pond guard the left side of the green.
Hole 2
182
yds ·Middle
A demanding par 3 with hazards down the whole left side, out of bounds right and three bunkers around a gently sloping green.
Hole 3
303
yds ·Middle
A relatively short par 4 with a creek left and out of bounds right. The green is a large double green shared with the 8th, with a big bunker at the front.
Hole 4
281
yds ·Middle
Needs a well-placed tee shot and an aggressive approach, because the trouble is long of the green.
Hole 5
361
yds ·Middle
A drive can set up a birdie try, but placement matters: out of bounds left and trees right. The green is undulating.
Hole 6
424
yds ·Middle
A risk-reward par 5. A long drive over the marsh gives a chance to reach in two, and a bunker sits about 90 yards short of the green center.
Hole 7
409
yds ·Middle
A tough par 4 that asks for two strong shots, with a long fairway bunker and out of bounds left, water right, and bunkers on both sides of a large sloping green.
Hole 8
145
yds ·Middle
A short but demanding par 3 that must carry a pond and avoid three bunkers around the green.
Hole 9
429
yds ·Middle
A birdie chance at this par 5 if you stay out of the pond on the right. The green has three tiers.
