Holes: 9   Yards: 3,398   Par: 36   Rating: 72.6  Slope: 133

1st Hole

Par 4 · 382

Pro’s Tip:
Par 4 to start your round on the Pine Course. Tee shot needs to stay short of the lake. Longer hitters can take more of a chance down the right side. Elevated green so make sure you play enough club.

Tee 1: 382

Tee 2: 361

Tee 3: 354

Tee 4: 341

Tee 5: 327

Tee 6: 278

2nd Hole

Par 5 · 493

Pro’s Tip:
Short Par 5 that can be reached in two. Your drive needs to either carry the fairway bunkers or just stay right of them. From there you have a straight in shot to the green. Green is surrounded by bunkers. Lay up to your favorite distance and make a birdie.

Tee 1: 493

Tee 2: 477

Tee 3: 463

Tee 4: 420

Tee 5: 410

Tee 6: 359

3rd Hole

Par 4 · 429

Pro’s Tip:
Tough Par 4 that dog legs to the right. Good tee shot is a must. Green slopes from back to front so don't go long.

Tee 1: 429

Tee 2: 413

Tee 3: 387

Tee 4: 377

Tee 5: 338

Tee 6: 287

4th Hole

Par 4 · 365

Pro’s Tip:
Short Par 4 that can eat your lunch. Take your drive straight out right of the fairway bunkers. A short iron shot will be left for your approach shot. Tough green so make sure you pick the right yardage.

Tee 1: 365

Tee 2: 348

Tee 3: 330

Tee 4: 319

Tee 5: 308

Tee 6: 263

5th Hole

Par 3 · 141

Pro’s Tip:
Good Par 3 with a lake short of the green. Deep green with trouble on the left. Most players will a short iron into this green.

Tee 1: 141

Tee 2: 132

Tee 3: 123

Tee 4: 115

Tee 5: 107

Tee 6: 94

6th Hole

Par 5 · 544

Pro’s Tip:
A tough Par 5 that will require a good tee shot and second shot. Make sure your drive stays in the fairway to set up your second shot. Water runs down the right side of the fairway so be sure to hit a long enough club to clear the trees down the right side as well. The green is well protected so be sure you pick the right club for your third shot.

Tee 1: 544

Tee 2: 544

Tee 3: 511

Tee 4: 497

Tee 5: 470

Tee 6: 422

7th Hole

Par 4 · 408

Pro’s Tip:
A tight Par 4 that has out of bounds of the left and water right. Keep your tee shot down the middle to set up a medium iron shot into the green.

Tee 1: 408

Tee 2: 408

Tee 3: 375

Tee 4: 363

Tee 5: 351

Tee 6: 312

8th Hole

Par 3 · 201

Pro’s Tip:
The longest Par 3 at Countryside CC. Pick the right club as you will be hitting into an elevated green that is guarded on the right side with bunkers. A large green but with some tricky breaks.

Tee 1: 201

Tee 2: 189

Tee 3: 177

Tee 4: 165

Tee 5: 154

Tee 6: 120

9th Hole

Par 4 · 435

Pro’s Tip:
Probably one of the toughest holes on the course. Must hit a good tee shot down the middle. Wayward shots left and right will find the trees. A good drive will still leave you a medium to long iron into the green. A par finish is a great finish.

Tee 1: 435

Tee 2: 410

Tee 3: 390

Tee 4: 336

Tee 5: 334

Tee 6: 304
