Pro Tips
A big hitter can reach this short, downhill hole, but this hole isn’t as easy as it looks. There is out of bounds on the left, a penalty area on the right, of an elongated green with a steep slope separating the left side.
# 2 / Hole #2
Par: 3
Yardage by Tee:
GOLD 205
BLUE 185
WHITE 153
SILVER 100
BRONZE 100
Slope:
Blue 138
Pro Tips
The green is big, which is good because there’s no place good to miss it. A stream and a marshy area guards the front, so it’s all carry. Right and short of the green is a penalty area. Left is a hillside that allows for bank shots but makes for difficult chipping. There is little room behind the green as well. The putting surface slopes dramatically from left to right, making it the toughest two-putt on this nine.
# 3 / Hole #3
Par: 4
Yardage by Tee:
GOLD 374
BLUE 347
WHITE 319
SILVER 272
BRONZE 272
Slope:
White 128
Pro Tips
This is a short but narrow uphill hole through a valley flanked by trouble and out of bounds on both sides. A deep bunker fronts the middle of the green, requiring a precise second shot to the elevated green.

Slope:

Pro Tips
You’ve got options on how to play this short hole. A stream guards the left side, cutting in front of the green, and two fairway bunkers guard the right. Lay up short of the bunkers for a short-iron in or hit a wood past them for a pitch shot in over the greenside bunkers. The hole location on the green, which is angled from back left to front right, may decide your strategy from the tee.

Pro Tips
Finally, a roomy fairway to drive to on a true-risk reward hole, but with a penalty area left and out of bounds right, a well-placed tee shot determines your approach. A stream and a small ravine lie in wait short of the green’s left side, a bunker guards the middle, demanding a precise shot for those who dare to go for it in two. Those who lay up must first navigate the left fairway bunker then hit into a shallow but long (and sloped) green, not an easy shot.
# 6 / Hole #6
Par: 3
Yardage by Tee:
GOLD 210
BLUE 180
WHITE 150
SILVER 115
BRONZE 90
Pro Tips
The danger on this pretty hole is obvious. The tee shot must carry a reservoir and a deep bunker guards the right front portion of a sloping green. For those who find the water, the pitch from the drop zone, 40 yards right of the green, is no bargain either.
# 7 / Hole #7
Par: 4
Yardage by Tee:
GOLD 398
BLUE 385
WHITE 327
SILVER 257
BRONZE 207
Pro Tips
Two good shots are needed on this risk-reward dogleg left. The drive must carry the lake and a large fairway bunker to a slightly elevated fairway, but stay short of the bunker on the far side. Shorter hitters will play right of the bunkers and have a mid-iron to the green but a longer carry is left of the bunkers and leaves a short-iron approach. The lake is still in play left of the green on the second shot, as is a bunker, and the steep slope on this green (tilted toward the front left) means you don’t want to putt from above the hole.
# 8 / Hole #8
Par: 4
Yardage by Tee:
GOLD 442
BLUE 419
WHITE 357
SILVER 312
BRONZE 312
Pro Tips
This long and demanding dogleg right requires a long, straight tee shot to get past the trees along the right side to the corner but avoid the two bunkers on the left. From there, it’s a mid or long-iron into a green over a ravine short and left of the green, two greenside bunkers in front, and a third on the left.
# 9 / Hole #9
Par: 5
Yardage by Tee:
GOLD 575
BLUE 558
WHITE 505
SILVER 415
BRONZE 415
Pro Tips
While the entire right side here is mostly unplayable penalty area, well-placed bunkers are the real issue. They frame the fairway right and left on the tee shot and the left side of the landing area for the second shot. Two more are left of and behind the green, and a big one lies in wait in a hollow 20 yards short of the green. Three good shots are called for on this hole and beware the false front on the green.
