N o . 1 • P a r 4 • 455 Y a r d s This opening hole demands a long and precise tee shot, setting the hole up for a challenging mid-iron approach shot. This is a real attention getter to start the round.

N o . 2 • P a r 4 • 434 Y a r d s This hole is a slight dogleg left, highlighted by dramatic fairway bunkering. An uphill second shot leads to a narrow two-tiered green.

N o . 3 • P a r 3 • 213 Y a r d s A long iron or fairway metal is usually required to reach this large multi-level putting surface. Shots played to the right side find the green using the contours and help you make more stress-free pars.

N o . 4 • P a r 4 • 345 Y a r d s This hole will allow you to catch your breath after the tough opening stretch of holes. A good tee shot gives you a short iron into a small, undulated green.

N o . 5 • P a r 5 • 510 Y a r d s This hole is the first good birdie opportunity on the golf course. It can be reached in two shots, but the green is well bunkered and not a gimmie. Trees also overhang and make the second shot a test.

N o . 6 • P a r 4 • 438 Y a r d s The signature hole on the course, this is the only hole with a water hazard. A straightforward par four that demands a good tee shot and solid approach, par is always a good score on this hole.

N o . 7 • P a r 5 • 562 Y a r d s With the prevailing Southeast wind, this par five is very reachable in two shots. Strategically-placed fairway bunkers protect the integrity of the hole. A two-tiered green offers many putting difficulties once on the surface.

N o . 8 • P a r 3 • 200 Y a r d s One lone bunker that fronts the green makes this hole very intimidating. A large transition mound that runs the length of the green makes putting a real test.

N o . 9 • P a r 4 • 446 Y a r d s Visually pleasing to the eye off the tee, this hole is a tough par four. Fairway bunkers off the tee and the sod-wall bunker located at the front of the green make the approach shot very scary. A par here will give you a boost on the way to the next tee.

N o . 1 0 • P a r 4 • 411 Y a r d s This is the only hole on the course that plays slightly downhill. A well placed tee shot sets up the approach for a short iron. The green is sloped from front to back.

N o . 1 1 • P a r 5 • 595 Y a r d s This long par five plays into the prevailing wind, which generally makes it unreachable in two shots. The hole is protected by bunkers on both the tee shot and second shot. A well-placed wedge shot will funnel to most hole locations on this green.

N o . 1 2 • P a r 4 • 466 Y a r d s This hole is the most difficult hole on the course. It demands a long and precise tee shot into the prevailing wind. After reaching the green, you are faced with the most severely-sloped green the course has to offer.

N o . 1 3 • P a r 5 • 605 Y a r d s Although this is the longest hole on the course, you receive a lot of help from the trailing wind. Longer hitters can also cut off some of the distance by challenging the fairway bunkers on the right. A good layup leaves you with a solid birdie chance. Putting can be treacherous in some locations.

N o . 1 4 • P a r 4 • 314 Y a r d s A drivable par four for some, most should choose to layup and have a short iron approach. This hole is a great birdie opportunity. The large bunker extending up the entire left side of the fairway to the green protects the hole.

N o . 1 5 • P a r 3 • 208 Y a r d s At first glance, this appears to be an easy par three. In reality, it will play more over par than any other hole on the course. A cavernous bunker on the right will swallow balls leaking into the prevailing wind not felt from the tee hidden in the trees.

N o . 1 6 • P a r 4 • 416 Y a r d s This dogleg right par four will usually play into a right to left crosswind. An eye-pleasing, plateau-like fairway leaves the player an elevated approach shot.

N o . 1 7 • P a r 3 • 200 Y a r d s This hole plays slightly shorter than it appears. A deep bunker on the right side should be avoided on the approach and the green will feed shots to the middle.

N o . 1 8 • P a r 4 • 440 Y a r d s The closing hole is defined by a large, deep-faced fairway bunker.

Any tee shot finding this hazard likely will be forced to play short of the green. The green has a small back shelf that makes for a great pin location.
