Holes: 9   Yards: 3,357   Par: 36   Rating: 36.4  Slope: 138

1st Hole

Par 4 · 372

Pro’s Tip:
Good Par 4 to start off on. Keep your drive just right of the fairway bunker on the left will give you an open shot into the green.

Tee 1: 372

Tee 2: 360

Tee 3: 348

Tee 4: 322

Tee 5: 318

Tee 6: 288

2nd Hole

Par 4 · 401

Pro’s Tip:
Tee shot placement is crucial on this Par 4. Longer players will have to play down the left side of the fairway to avoid the water. A smart tee shot will leave you with an uphill approach shot. Make sure you take enough club.

Tee 1: 401

Tee 2: 383

Tee 3: 341

Tee 4: 331

Tee 5: 294

Tee 6: 245

3rd Hole

Par 5 · 518

Pro’s Tip:
First Par 5 on the Lake nine. A good tee shot will give you some options. Keep your drive on the right side of the fairway. Your 2nd shot needs to be placed in the fairway to give you a good chance at birdie. Long players can reach this green in 2 with a good tee shot.

Tee 1: 518

Tee 2: 544

Tee 3: 412

Tee 4: 400

Tee 5: 471

Tee 6: 325

4th Hole

Par 3 · 179

Pro’s Tip:
Excellent Par 3! A half island green awaits all players - don't miss short or left! Green is well protected so even bailing out right will leave you a difficult chip

Tee 1: 179

Tee 2: 164

Tee 3: 145

Tee 4: 133

Tee 5: 128

Tee 6: 86

5th Hole

Par 4 · 329

Pro’s Tip:
A short Par 4 but can play tough. A tee shot down the right side of the fairway should leave you a short iron into double tiered green. A pond in front guards the green so be sure you play enough club.

Tee 1: 329

Tee 2: 318

Tee 3: 295

Tee 4: 285

Tee 5: 246

Tee 6: 221

6th Hole

Par 5 · 527

Pro’s Tip:
Dog leg to the right Par 5 will play difficult as the fairway is narrow with trees on both sides of the fairway. Left of the trees is out of bounds. Green is elevated and well protected. Two good shots should leave you with a short to medium iron into the green.

Tee 1: 527

Tee 2: 510

Tee 3: 458

Tee 4: 445

Tee 5: 430

Tee 6: 385

7th Hole

Par 4 · 423

Pro’s Tip:
Probably the most difficult Par 4 on the Lake's course. A good drive is crucial on this hole with water right and out of bounds on the left. Your approach is uphill to an elevated green that has two tiers. Bunkers guard the green on both sides.

Tee 1: 423

Tee 2: 395

Tee 3: 356

Tee 4: 330

Tee 5: 323

Tee 6: 273

8th Hole

Par 3 · 158

Pro’s Tip:
Make sure you select the right club on this par 3. A short hole but danger is everywhere - water left, short,and right of the green with a tough bunker just left of the green. The green slopes from back to front so front pin positions are tough with downhill putts.

Tee 1: 158

Tee 2: 147

Tee 3: 135

Tee 4: 124

Tee 5: 103

Tee 6: 82

9th Hole

Par 4 · 403

Pro’s Tip:
Good finishing hole - Par 4 that dog legs to the left. Stay right of the fairyway bunker on your tee shot. A good tee shot will leave you a short to medium iron into the green.

Tee 1: 403

Tee 2: 424

Tee 3: 337

Tee 4: 306

Tee 5: 376

Tee 6: 289
