HOLE #1 - PAR 4

An inviting hole begins the front side.  A good drive from the elevated tee leaves just a short iron to the green.  Birdie is very possible here.

This gentle dog-led right is tree lined from tee to green.  Bunkered left and right, the large green offers both undulations and flat lies.  Reachable in two shots by big hitters.

HOLE #3 - PAR 4

Woods to the right can be trouble and should be avoided off the tee.  A straightaway par 4 with a green bunkered on both sides and fronted by Winters Run.  A deceptively difficult hold.

HOLE #4 - PAR 4

This dog-leg left has a lateral hazard left and Out of Bounds right.  A long tee shot down the hazard line presents a mid-iron to a large green.  An excellent tee shot is the key to making par here.

HOLE #6 - PAR 5
A carry of 200 yards is required to clear Winters Run from this slightly elevated tee.  The dog-leg left has several trees making this green virtually unreachable in two.  A contoured, sloping green is bunkered on both sides and requires an accurate approach shot.  Consider laying up off the tee and scrambling for par.

HOLE #7 - PAR 3

A tee shot to an elevated green must avoid a deep bunker on the left and a collection area on the right.  A sloped bank in front of the green will trap any shots under-clubbed.  A pond and small stream in front of the green should not come into play.  Hit plenty of club.

HOLE #8 - PAR 4

A very demanding straightaway hole.  A small stream presents a lateral hazard on the right and a small pond is in the fairway about 265 yards from the tee.  The elevated green is protected by three bunkers and is best reached with a high soft approach.  Take par and go!

HOLE #9 - PAR 4

A great driving hole and a good challenge to finish the front side.  From the elevated tee, a drive to the right side of the fairway will present an open shot to the elevated green, sloped from back to front.  If you want to make par you must avoid the left side.

HOLE #10 - PAR 4

This tough, sharp dog-leg left begins the back nine.  From a severely elevated tee, a long tee shot is required to clear the turn.  Three bunkers protect a two-tiered green.  Par here is a good start for the back side.

HOLE #14 - PAR 4

This straightaway downhill par 4 is lined with trees on both sides.  The approach shot is usually hit from downhill slope to a shallow green making it difficult to hold the green at all, let alone hit it close.  Par often wins this hole.

HOLE #15 - PAR 3

The toughest par 3 on the course.  Water hazards front and right, coupled with bunkers left and long, leave no bail-out area on this hole.  This two-tiered green can present tough pin placements, bringing three putts into play.  Its position on the back nine makes this hole a turning point in many matches.

HOLE #17 - PAR 5

Three ponds to the right and woods to the left demand a straight tee shot.  A long tee shot presents the player with a high-risk, high-reward attempt to reach the green in two.  The severely elevated, two-tiered green is protected by three bunkers.  The most scenic hole on the course.

A demanding straightaway par 4 lined with trees on the left and woods on the right.  Three strategically placed fairway bunkers on the right frequently come into play off the tee.  This uphill hole demands two wll played shots to another two-tiered green.  A great finishing hole!
