1 |
Par 4 |
 |
|
|
| 272 | 268 | 253 |
|
|
| This hole is straight; the fairway is lined with trees on both sides. The approach shot is into a small elevated green guarded by bunkers. |
2 |
Par 4 |
|
|
|
| 370 | 365 | 310 |
|
|
| This hole is a dogleg to the left. A tee shot which goes astray may either end up out of bounds near the clubhouse, or be blocked by trees which line the left side of the hole. The green slopes front to back, so don't be above the hole or putting is difficult. One large bunker guards the green. |

Par 4 |
|
|
|
| 305 | 300 | 200 |
|
|
| This short par four can be driven by the long hitter, but the trees to the right of the approach and green can catch an errant drive or second shot. The smart play is a shorter shot leaving a short iron into a green that is guarded by a few small bunkers. |
4 |
Par 5 |
|
|
|
| 504 | 485 | 385 |
|
|
| The fourth hole is a dogleg to the right par five. A drive favoring the left side of the fairway will leave a more open angle to the green or for a second-shot lay-up, as trees and Lauderick Creek block the right side of the approach. The small green slopes from back to front. |
5 |
Par 3 |
|
|
|
| 175 | 164 | 152 |
|
|
| The fifth hole is a solid par three hole that won't yield too many birdies. The small green must be hit to provide any chance to score two. Par is a good score. |
6 |
Par 4/5 |
|
|
|
| 475 | 377 | 377 |
|
|
| The sixth hole is a unique hole because the blue tee box located back and to the right of the white tee plays this hole as a par five. A severe dogleg to the right, with the corner protected by tall mature trees, will guard against players going for this green in two. If the tee shot from the white tee is too far right, it will be blocked as well. Two bunkers guard this small and contoured green. |
7 |
Par 4 |
|
|
|
| 372 | 333 | 315 |
|
|
| This straight downhill par four presents a good opportunity. The fairway is wide and receptive to hitting a good tee shot. The green is guarded by two bunkers, and out of bounds is close over the back, so don't go long. |
8 |
Par 3 |
|
|
|
| 145 | 135 | 107 |
|
|
| The eighth is a simple hole with a small green that is guarded on both sides by small ponds. |
9 |
Par 4 |
|
|
|
| 322 | 310 | 300 |
|
|
| This short par four is straight and is protected by a bunker near the green. If played correctly, the second shot will be a short iron or pitch to a relatively flat green. This should be a good opportunity to make a birdie to finish the round. |
