HOLE-BY-HOLE

1st Hole

Par 4 · 380

Pro’s Tip:
A drive down the left side of this medium-length par 4 will set up an ideal shot to a green protected by a bunker short right.

Tee 1: 380

Tee 2: 349

Tee 3: 343

Tee 4: 325

Tee 5: 303

2nd Hole

Par 3 · 199

Pro’s Tip:
With a lake on three sides and two bunkers left, this par 3 can look intimidating. Playing slightly down-hill, a mid-iron will find the center of the green, but there is room on the right to miss this large, undulating green.

Tee 1: 199

Tee 2: 183

Tee 3: 155

Tee 4: 150

Tee 5: 140

3rd Hole

Par 5 · 557

Pro’s Tip:
Tees are elevated 30 feet above the fairway. The second shot selection is determined by the pin placement: a front right pin calls for a wood to carry the right fairway bunker; a back left pin calls for a layup short and left.

Tee 1: 557

Tee 2: 533

Tee 3: 514

Tee 4: 506

Tee 5: 453

4th Hole

Par 4 · 441

Pro’s Tip:
This long, uphill dogleg right has a wash running down the entire left side. Tee shots must carry two pot bunkers and avoid grass bunkers on the left. The three-tiered green is highlighted by a pot bunker on the back right.

Tee 1: 441

Tee 2: 422

Tee 3: 396

Tee 4: 380

Tee 5: 361

5th Hole

Par 4 · 409

Pro’s Tip:
A premium is placed on a precise tee shot over a wash. The narrow fairway is framed by a wash on the left and four fairway bunkers on the right. A target bunker short right directs the second shot to a semi-blind green fronted by grass pot bunkers. The fairway wraps around the right side of the green allowing for a bail out.

Tee 1: 409

Tee 2: 389

Tee 3: 376

Tee 4: 339

Tee 5: 309

6th Hole

Par 4 · 459

Pro’s Tip:
A tee shot hugging the large fairway bunker on the left allows better access to the huge green.

Tee 1: 459

Tee 2: 433

Tee 3: 414

Tee 4: 396

Tee 5: 374

7th Hole

Par 3 · 170

Pro’s Tip:
The shortest of the par 3s, this hole is tucked in a small valley and has a two-tiered green flanked by six bunkers. A deep wash protects the front of the green and a grass bunker is along the back-side.

Tee 1: 170

Tee 2: 163

Tee 3: 156

Tee 4: 133

Tee 5: 106

8th Hole

Par 5 · 565

Pro’s Tip:
The tee shot on this dramatic downhill hole is framed by a wash and fairway bunkers. The green is fronted by a grass bunker and has a greenside bunker along the back and left.

Tee 1: 565

Tee 2: 540

Tee 3: 524

Tee 4: 505

Tee 5: 458

9th Hole

Par 4 · 411

Pro’s Tip:
A tee shot avoiding the fairway bunker sets up an easy approach. A deep canyon separates the fairway and green with a bail out area short right. The double green, shared with hole 18, is two-tiered.

Tee 1: 411

Tee 2: 390

Tee 3: 384

Tee 4: 353

Tee 5: 324

10th Hole

Par 4 · 339

Pro’s Tip:
Downhill all the way, this is the shortest par 4 on the course. A deep swale runs through the middle of the landing area, setting up a tricky approach. A lake positioned on the left catches stray tee shots.

Tee 1: 339

Tee 2: 317

Tee 3: 312

Tee 4: 305

Tee 5: 286

11th Hole

Par 5 · 524

Pro’s Tip:
The eleventh is a par 5 that features a fairway bunkers down the right side of the landing area. Lay up on your second shot to the left for a better approach angle to the green.

Tee 1: 524

Tee 2: 504

Tee 3: 495

Tee 4: 489

Tee 5: 456

12th Hole

Par 4 · 460

Pro’s Tip:
A swale cuts through the landing area, creating a rolling fairway. The green slopes from back to front and is wrapped by fairway on the left. A deep grass bunker sits on the right green side to punish a stray second shot.

Tee 1: 460

Tee 2: 438

Tee 3: 410

Tee 4: 399

Tee 5: 382

13th Hole

Par 3 · 196

Pro’s Tip:
A deep canyon wash on the left sets up this long, uphill par 3. The large, tiered green is protected by flanking bunkers. A short tee shot will find a very steep grass depression.

Tee 1: 196

Tee 2: 172

Tee 3: 167

Tee 4: 160

Tee 5: 145

14th Hole

Par 4 · 419

Pro’s Tip:
This hole climbs over 50 feed from tee to green. Grass bunkers define the right side of the sloping fairway, with four bunkers in the background. The three-tiered green is guarded by the grass bunkers front and right, while bunkers behind the green catch long approach shots.

Tee 1: 419

Tee 2: 402

Tee 3: 391

Tee 4: 376

Tee 5: 334

15th Hole

Par 4 · 467

Pro’s Tip:
The elevation from tee to green is 80 feet. The ideal tee shot must carry the left fairway bunker but will be rewarded as the fairway opens up. A large bunker surrounds the right and back of this green.

Tee 1: 467

Tee 2: 437

Tee 3: 417

Tee 4: 401

Tee 5: 376

16th Hole

Par 5 · 581

Pro’s Tip:
The plateau fairway is cut in half by a wash, and a bunker bisects the greenside fairway. A tee shot that hugs the right side will allow a bold second shot to roll onto the green. An errant shot to the left side of the green will not hold and the ball will find a bunker.

Tee 1: 581

Tee 2: 559

Tee 3: 535

Tee 4: 524

Tee 5: 467

17th Hole

Par 3 · 208

Pro’s Tip:
This classic par 3 is set up for a right-to-left tee shot. A ball too far left will find a deep bunker and bunkers on the back right and shot will catch shots to the right.

Tee 1: 208

Tee 2: 198

Tee 3: 184

Tee 4: 162

Tee 5: 140

18th Hole

Par 4 · 442

Pro’s Tip:
Drives down the right side will be rewarded as the fairway opens up. A deep canyon awaits a poor approach shot right, while a leftward second shot will find a slope that could send your ball onto the green.

Tee 1: 442

Tee 2: 423

Tee 3: 401

Tee 4: 389

Tee 5: 345

"Beautiful course! Everything (including the tee boxes!) was in immaculate shape. Perfectly placed bunkers, ravines, and water provide an interesting challenge."
