Course Tip Sheet
Front Nine
HOLE 1
This 379 yard
dogleg right, par 4 requires an accurate tee shot. Push the shot a
little and end up in the cattails. Pull the ball and end up in the
mounds resulting in a wicked lie for the approach to the green. Trees
frame the green with a bunker settled into the left front portion.
HOLE 2
The ideal tee shot is over the wetlands and between the two fairway
bunkers. The green at this 372 yard, par 4 is flanked by bunkers. A lake
is situated to the right of the green. However, the approach to the
green is open and invites the golfer to try to hit it close to the flag.
HOLE 3
This par 3 plays adjacent to a beautiful lake which also wraps around
behind the green. A large bunker looms between the lake the green.
Playing to 194 yards, the wide opening to the green is a welcome sight.
HOLE 4
Drive the ball on this 501 yard hole between the trees to a landing area
without bunkers. This reachable par 5 has a green well guarded by
bunkers, but deep enough to receive long approach shots. Play short of
the green and the approach shot will be a little pitch to a gently
undulating green
HOLE 5
Back to back par 5's provide a unique experience. At 534 yards and
slightly uphill, this 5 par will certainly test your skills. The
approach to the green can neither be too short or too long. The green is
a peninsula with a single bunker at its right rear.
HOLE 6
This downhill par 3 plays to 204 yards. A simple straight shot prevents
the golfer from straying into a bunker on the right side of the green.
The approach area drops off sharply to the left of the green placing a
premium on accuracy.
HOLE 7
A precise tee shot is required on this par 4. Two bunkers on the right
and one on the left set up the landing area. The need for precise shot
making confronts the golfer approaching this 402 yard hole. Putting can
be a bit testy on the moderately contoured green.
HOLE 8
This par 3 is a mere 164 yards of contrasting grasses. The
well-manicured approach and green are surrounded by waves of native
grasses. The right side of the green is a forgiving second cut area.
HOLE 9
The front nine finishes with a tee shot to a wide and inviting landing
area. Two bunkers on the right define the best possible lie. The
approach shot on this 417 yard, par 4 finishing hole crosses a stream
surrounded by lush, native wetlands, to a beautiful green, backed up by
a stand of stately oak trees. A broad opening to the green is
interrupted by one bunker at the right front of the green. A shot aimed
left should remain safely on the putting surface.
Course Tip Sheet
Back Nine
HOLE 10
This 418
yard, par 4 hole is an extreme dog leg to the left beyond the oak grove.
The two fairway bunkers direct the driver to the target landing area. To
get off on the right foot, it is important to drive the ball in the
right center of the fairway. A pulled shot puts the golfer at the mercy
of overhanging tree limbs. The green offers a wide approach and gentle
undulations.
HOLE 11
An
intimidating par 3 that plays out of a chute of majestic oaks 229 yards
over a sea of wetland grasses. A green side bunker on the right protects
the right flag location. If the golfer chooses not to flirt with the
bunkers, there is plenty of putting area to the left.
HOLE 12
Although
this is a short 306 yard par 4, accuracy and good judgment is required
off the tee. The golfer has the option of laying up with any number of
clubs or going big by driving the green. The more conservative the
golfer is with the tee shot, the more demanding the second shot will be
into this small green.
HOLE 13
Even the
best tee shot on this 545 yard par 5 leaves a second shot of 240 yards
to an elevated green. The driving area is well defined by bunkers on
both sides of the fairway. A deep bunker guards the front right of the
green. This hole can be a tough challenge, if not played correctly.
HOLE 14
This
innocent looking par 3 appears easier than it plays. The half hidden
horseshoe shaped bunker in front of the green is very deceiving. A wide
opening on the right can make this an enjoyable 177 yard experience with
a solid shot.
HOLE 15
This is a
short 517 yard, par 5. The drive is uphill over a scattering of bunkers.
A lake borders the left side of the second landing area and green. Two
bunkers are tucked left of green to save a ball from the water hazard.
With an accurate downhill second shot, the golfer may be rewarded with
an eagle putt or an easy birdie.
HOLE 16
This 338
yard par 4 requires a thoughtful tee shot. With a well-placed drive, the
golfer has a relatively simple shot over the lake to the green. If the
golfer chooses to hit an iron off the tee, the second shot becomes much
more difficult to this small green, even without bunkers.
HOLE 17
The tee shot
is deceptively simple on this 393 yard par 4, but there is a real
challenge for the golfer on the other end. A deep bunker in front
defines the green on this strong par 4. Try to run the ball on the right
side of the green in order to avoid a high number.
HOLE 18
The final
tee shot for the back nine is a challenging carry over a lake on this
377 yard par 4 hole. To play away from the water, the golfer may be left
with a stymied lie behind the overhanging branches of the lofty oaks.
More oak trees hover over the shallow green. A par will be richly
deserved and a great way to finish the back nine.
