Hole by Hole

Hole 1

Par: 5 | HCP: 7/7
Black: 525
Blue: 501
White: 439
Red: 411

This is a 3 shot hole under most conditions, especially into the NW prevailing wind. A tee shot over 200 yards towards the right-hand waste bunker is best. Tree protects the left side above the left-hand waste bunker.

Hole 2

Lay-up right of the left-hand waste bunker at the base of the hill. The second shot is very uphill so play one more club than normal.

Hole 3

This hole is long and difficult, especially into the wind. There is more trouble left than right, and short is very open and plays well. Par is a good score here.

Hole 4

A fairway wood or long iron shot down the center is ideal. Avoid OB right and the water hazard left. Everything slopes right to left here, so the tee ball that ends up at or right of the trees on the left will leave an iron to this two tiered green.

Hole 5

Lay-up short of the carry rough, the 150 pole is your best target, for the best angle to the green through the wind-break of trees. The green is long and narrow with bunkers on both sides.

Hole 6

The right arm of the lake extends across most of the fairway. It is best to lay up to the right. Second shot for most should favor the left center and be played short of the carry rough in front of the green. Uphill third shot to t along narrow green.

Hole 7

Anything hit left center of the fairway is in danger of going into the lateral water hazard left hand tree line. There is more room to the right than you can see from the tee. The prevailing wind tends to move the ball right to left.

Hole 8

Shorter par 3 over the canyon is the most scenic hole on the course. The only place to miss the green is long and left. Don’t let the wind fool you here, it will knock the ball down at times. Don’t underclub.

Hole 9

Two tiered hole with a lay-up tee shot of 200+/- yards towards the rocks in the middle of the fairway. Long second shot to a well-guarded green. Lateral water hazard on the entire left side through the green and the trees on the right.

Hole 10

A lay-up hit to the left of the fairway and far out enough to avoid the trees on the right. From the Blacks/Blues 200, Whites 190, and Reds 160. A temptation to drive the green when wind conditions are right may not pay off.

Hole 11

A difficult hole. Tee shots tend to run forward and to the right, favor the left side of the fairway. The second shot is uphill and all carry, usually requiring more club.

Hole 12

This hole usually plays downwind thus requiring less club than normal for the yardage. Trouble lies both right and left as lateral water hazards and as bunkers. Be sure to walk to the west side of the green and look at the 13th hole to see the landing area for your next tee shot.

Hole 13

The best tee shot will hug the right side with a little right to left. Beware of going too far right, there is a lateral water hazard along the entire right side. The fence on the left is OB, so accuracy is required. The second shot is usually into the wind.

Hole 14

Accuracy off the tee pays off. Favor the left center of the fairway to avoid the wetlands that jut out on the right side. Walk or ride ahead to see where you hit your second shot. There is more room to the right than left.

Hole 15

Avoid the right waste bunker, there are arms on the right side of the bunker that reach out 10–15 yards, so stay left. A bunker on the left side guards the approach to the green.

Hole 16

A most challenging hole. The carry from the Black is 200 yards, from the Blue is 185. The shortest carry is on the right side of the fairway; this leaves the best angle to the green. The second shot should favor the right side, with the front and left side lined by a lateral water hazard.

Hole 17

Most of the trouble is short of the green. This hole plays longer than the yardage when into the wind. Choosing the proper club is difficult, but short is worse than being long.

Hole 18

OB runs right side of creek 100 yards from the green. Drive will leave a second shot of about 200 yards to the green. Two hazards are short of the green, a creek about 100 yards out and a wetlands about 40 yards.
