Holes: 18   Yards: 7,029   Par: 72   Rating: 73.30   Slope: 137

1st Hole

Par 4 · 363

Pro’s Tip:
The course opens with a serene par four. A well-placed drive in the left center of the fairway will leave an accessible short iron into this gently undulating green that is tucked neatly behind the front bunker.

Tee 1: 363

Tee 2: 339

Tee 3: 321

Tee 4: 294

Tee 5: 241

2nd Hole

Par 5 · 590

Pro’s Tip:
An extremely demanding three-shot par five depends on the result of your drive. Either lay up short left on your second shot, leaving a wedge to a long but shallow green; or risk going for it in two where trees guard the green on the right and a bunker inhibits play from the left

Tee 1: 590

Tee 2: 521

Tee 3: 505

Tee 4: 452

Tee 5: 385

3rd Hole

Par 4 · 435

Pro’s Tip:
This par four offers spectacular views of natural beauty and protected wetlands with the river basin bordering the left side. A long hole demanding the right club selection makes access to the flag difficult. Left side pin placements will gather misshit shots in the deep front bunker.

Tee 1: 435

Tee 2: 400

Tee 3: 361

Tee 4: 338

Tee 5: 270

4th Hole

Par 3 · 143

Pro’s Tip:
Though a short par three, this hole is visually intimidating. Proper club selection is critical to avoid the wetlands surrounding the green and the deep bunkers protecting front pin placements.

Tee 1: 143

Tee 2: 122

Tee 3: 110

Tee 4: 97

Tee 5: 97

5th Hole

Par 5 · 545

Pro’s Tip:
This par five brings the rolling terrain of the course into play from the tee shot. Continuing uphill, third shots with short irons will play longer into an elevated green that is protected by bunkers and wetlands on the left.

Tee 1: 545

Tee 2: 510

Tee 3: 495

Tee 4: 460

Tee 5: 375

6th Hole

Par 4 · 399

Pro’s Tip:
This dogleg right hole plays uphill to an elevated green that will require precise distance control. Short shots will return to the fairway for a very difficult chip to save par.

Tee 1: 399

Tee 2: 374

Tee 3: 365

Tee 4: 323

Tee 5: 238

7th Hole

Par 4 · 497

Pro’s Tip:
This long par four prepares players for the challenges that lie ahead. Leaving a long approach iron or wood shot can be intimidating into this very long green. Though playing downhill, players will tend to play to the right to avoid the water and bunkers bordering the left side.

Tee 1: 497

Tee 2: 451

Tee 3: 418

Tee 4: 348

Tee 5: 262

8th Hole

Par 3 · 187

Pro’s Tip:
This final par three on the front side is visually spectacular and bordered by the hardwood forest along the left side. The natural flowing bunker along the entire left side of the green will gather short shots making par difficult to achieve.

Tee 1: 187

Tee 2: 173

Tee 3: 151

Tee 4: 112

Tee 5: 112

9th Hole

Par 4 · 424

Pro’s Tip:
Every golfer enjoys a risk-reward hole and Arnold has given you that choice on this dogleg left, par four. Drives that split the fairways will leave a downhill mid-iron approach to a well-protected green. Left center drives can utilize the rolling fairway and leave a short iron, but beware of the fairway bunker guarding the left side.

Tee 1: 424

Tee 2: 392

Tee 3: 376

Tee 4: 322

Tee 5: 275

10th Hole

Par 4 · 458

Pro’s Tip:
Unlike the front side, the back nine challenges players immediately with this long par four. Avoiding the strategically placed fairway bunkers is crucial in order to hit this long, narrow green. Depending on the gentle breezes that prevail from this valley setting, this hole could play up to a four club difference in your mid- to long-iron approach.

Tee 1: 458

Tee 2: 429

Tee 3: 399

Tee 4: 366

Tee 5: 282

11th Hole

Par 4 · 431

Pro’s Tip:
Though a little shorter than the previous hole, a water hazard off the tee may be intimidating, but shouldn’t catch many drivers. Club selection on your mid-iron approach is difficult in carrying this bunker-protected, shallow green and avoiding the collection area in back.

Tee 1: 431

Tee 2: 406

Tee 3: 365

Tee 4: 336

Tee 5: 272

12th Hole

Par 5 · 516

Pro’s Tip:
The first of the par fives on the back nine is reachable in two with a well-placed drive in the left center of the fairway. Holding the green on a long second shot will prove difficult on a right-side pin placement. Short-iron approaches in three will have to avoid the front and rear bunkers protecting this shallow green.

Tee 1: 516

Tee 2: 498

Tee 3: 463

Tee 4: 405

Tee 5: 365

13th Hole

Par 4 · 516

Pro’s Tip:
Players wanting to recoup previous lost shots will try to overpower this short, panoramic par four. The perfect play is a comfortable tee shot to the level landing area to leave a well-judged, short-iron approach. Downhill leads to a back pin placement, which will leave a difficult shot selection in order to avoid the wetlands protecting the back of this green.

Tee 1: 516

Tee 2: 313

Tee 3: 463

Tee 4: 405

Tee 5: 365

14th Hole

Par 3 · 174

Pro’s Tip:
Large oak and pine trees frame this par three featuring the smallest green on the course. Shots played to the right (to avoid the deep bunkers guarding the left) will be gathered in the collection areas, leaving a difficult downhill chip. Players missing this green will be tested for par.

Tee 1: 174

Tee 2: 151

Tee 3: 140

Tee 4: 114

Tee 5: 114

15th Hole

Par 5 · 531

Pro’s Tip:
Protected along the entire left side by wetlands, this par five puts a premium on the second shot. Players will decide to either lay up short of the bunkers in the center of the fairway for a midiron approach, or test the bunkers to have a short-iron in. This shallow, gentle green should yield easy two putt pars if hit in regulation.

Tee 1: 531

Tee 2: 500

Tee 3: 479

Tee 4: 429

Tee 5: 430

16th Hole

Par 3 · 195

Pro’s Tip:
This par three starts the climax for a great finish to the round. Checking the wind for proper club selection will be crucial to carry the water and hold this shallow green. Long shots will leave a difficult bunker shot back toward the water to save par.

Tee 1: 195

Tee 2: 178

Tee 3: 151

Tee 4: 101

Tee 5: 78

17th Hole

Par 4 · 364

Pro’s Tip:
Placement of your drive on this par four will avoid the protected wetland area that runs up the center of the driving area. A short-iron approach will be difficult to judge with this elevated green. Long shots will leave a fast downhill putt to a front pin placement.

Tee 1: 364

Tee 2: 353

Tee 3: 332

Tee 4: 303

Tee 5: 280

18th Hole

Par 4 · 434

Pro’s Tip:
This signature par four is a perfect way to end your round. A well-placed drive will tempt players to test their skills in negotiating this intimidating green setting. Surrounded by water on three sides and bordered by the Carolina ledgestone retaining wall, players may elect to play safe to the left.

Tee 1: 434

Tee 2: 408

Tee 3: 378

Tee 4: 349

Tee 5: 265
