Course Tip Sheet
Front Nine
HOLE 1
This 415 yard, par 4 opening hole allows the
golfer a smooth start to the front nine. 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 2
An intimidating par
3 that plays out of a chute of majestic oaks 231 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 3
Although this is a short 307 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 4
Even the best tee shot on this 546 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 5
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
180 yard experience with a solid shot.
HOLE 6
This is a short 511 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 7
This 341 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 8
The tee shot is deceptively simple on this 397
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 9
The final tee shot for the front nine is a
challenging carry over a lake on this 383 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 front nine.
Course Tip Sheet
Back Nine
HOLE 10
This 380 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 11
The ideal tee shot is over the wetlands and
between the two fairway bunkers. The green at this 376 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 12
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 195 yards, the wide opening to the green
is a welcome sight.
HOLE 13
Drive the ball on this 503 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 14
Back to back par 5's provide a unique experience.
At 541 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 15
This downhill par 3 plays to 209 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 16
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 406
yard hole. Putting can be a bit testy on the moderately contoured green.
HOLE 17
The ultimate par 3 is a mere 165 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 18
The back 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 419 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.
