COURSE INFO

Designed by legendary architect Robert Trent Jones Sr., The North Course is demanding yet fair, scenic yet strategic. Water hazards come into play on more than half the holes, with the layout gracefully weaving around the Firestone Reservoir. Doglegs framed by mature trees and immaculate bunkering reward smart positioning over brute strength, while expansive, lightning-fast greens challenge even the steadiest short game. You’ll find more forgiveness here than on the storied South Course, but its subtle slopes and risk-reward decisions keep every swing honest.

Holes: 18 | Par: 72 | Rating: 74.8 | Slope: 134 | Yardage: 7,125

HOLE-BY-HOLE

1st Hole

Par 4 · 398

Pro’s Tip:
Playing 367 yards from the Member Tees, number 1 is a shorter Par 4. The hole is straight out with heavy tree coverage lining the right side. To the right of the trees is a road deemed as O.B. Two bunkers guard the landing zone on the left side of the fairway. The shot into the green can be tricky as wind will play a factor. Going over the green on the right side is unplayable and missing the green short left will put you into the water. Two Bunkers protect the front edge of the green making the green complex a lot tougher to hit in regulation. Playing to the center of the green can alleviate a lot of the stress involved with the second shot

Tee 1: 398

Tee 2: 378

Tee 3: 367

Tee 4: 343

2nd Hole

Par 4 · 387

Pro’s Tip:
Another shorter Par 4 from the Member Tees, only playing 342 yards, begins with a tee shot over water on the right and the left. Accuracy is more important than distance on this tee shot. Heavy trees guard the right side of the fairway up to the green, with a large bunker on the left. The green is elevated, and the second shot may be tricky. Four pot bunkers guard the front of the green and a large steep hill begins at the back of the green. Any shot over the green will leave a very tricky pitch back onto the narrow green.

Tee 1: 387

Tee 2: 360

Tee 3: 342

Tee 4: 265

3rd Hole

Par 4 · 449

Pro’s Tip:
Number 3 is a dogleg right Par 4 playing 400 yards from the member tees. A long thick stretch of trees guards the dogleg from an easy driver over the corner. Long and accurate hitters can take on the corner, but risk getting stuck in the tree line. To the left of the fairway straight out from the tee box is a large bunker that is often visited. The fairway begins to go straight downhill at around 180 yards out. A long tee ball can catch the hill to gain extra distance. The shot into the green is no simple task as there are two bunkers that fully guard both sides of the narrow and long green. It is best to play below the hole. This green slopes back to front and can leave fast putts coming down the grain. Does this need to change since they redid the fairway?

Tee 1: 449

Tee 2: 430

Tee 3: 403

Tee 4: 380

4th Hole

Par 4 · 423

Pro’s Tip:
Number 4 on the North is a slight dog-leg left Par 4 playing 389 yards from the Member Tees. For the longer players, a tee ball over the bunkers on the left side is the ideal target line. With trees and a large bunker on the left, the right side of the fairway is the safer play to have the best look into the green. The green itself is guarded front left and back right, making it tricky to hit in regulation. The green is rather big and slopes back to front with subtle breaks towards the front of the green.

Tee 1: 423

Tee 2: 405

Tee 3: 389

Tee 4: 363

5th Hole

Par 5 · 533

Pro’s Tip:
Hole #5 is the first of two Par 5s on the front nine. Playing 505 yards, this hole is straight away. Trees line both sides of the hole starting around 300 yards out from the hole. A bunker sits in the common landing area on the left side of the fairway. A long tee shot may make it tempting to try for the green in two. But 4 well placed bunkers around the green may have you wanting to lay up. The bunker on the right of the green stretches the length of the green. The green itself slopes hard back to front and is around 35 yards long. Knowing where the pin is on the green can be the difference in an easy one putt or a rough 3 putt.

Tee 1: 533

Tee 2: 515

Tee 3: 504

Tee 4: 451

6th Hole

Par 3 · 214

Pro’s Tip:
The first of two Par 3s on the front nine comes at hole #6. Straight out playing around 150 yards from the Member Tees, this large green is slightly elevated and is guarded by three bunkers. The green slopes right to left when looking at the green from the tee box. Be mindful of pace on the green as some putts get away easily. It is important not to go over this green.

Tee 1: 214

Tee 2: 179

Tee 3: 147

Tee 4: 127

7th Hole

Par 5 · 534

Pro’s Tip:
The par 5 7th on the North Course plays just under 500 yards from the Member Tees. This slight dog-leg right goes straight out with a subtle right dogleg. The ideal target line is down the left side of the fairway to have a good angle and to pick up extra roll from the downhill slope. Trees line both sides of the fairway with a bunker on the right side. The approach shots are into a large green surrounded by water on three sides as well as a large bunker on the right side. Hitting the green in two strokes is doable but very risky. Swirling winds tend to make the hole play a different yardage than what is measured. This green is large, slopes hard back to front and can play very tricky if you are above the hole.

Tee 1: 534

Tee 2: 513

Tee 3: 492

Tee 4: 447

8th Hole

Par 3 · 178

Pro’s Tip:
Number 8 is 145-yard Par 3 that is over water onto a very narrow green. The green is surrounded by water on all sides. Three bunkers guard the green front and back. It is important to hit the green as there is not much room to miss without being penalized. The green slopes back to front mostly with a few subtle breaks.

Tee 1: 178

Tee 2: 161

Tee 3: 145

Tee 4: 116

9th Hole

Par 4 · 431

Pro’s Tip:
Number 9 is denoted as the toughest hole on the North Course. This hole goes straight out with a pond on the left side of the fairway and a lake down the right side directly off the fairway. The ideal tee shot favors the left side of the fairway to have the best approach angle. The shot into the tough green is important to have a good look at par. This long tiered green slopes back to front with a collection run off on the back right and middle left of the green. Putting from below the hole will give you the best opportunity at rolling one in. Be sure to be mindful of the wind on this hole.

Tee 1: 431

Tee 2: 416

Tee 3: 401

Tee 4: 388

10th Hole

Par 4 · 364

Pro’s Tip:
This short Par 4 is more about accuracy than distance. Playing only 335 yards from the Member Tees, it is not the easiest of Par 4s. With a large body of water lining the right side of the hole and deep bunkers on the left, it is important to be in the fairway. The shot into the green can be tricky depending on the hole location. The green slopes hard back to front and is slightly tiered. Three bunkers guard the green as well as a tightly cut runoff into the lake behind the green.

Tee 1: 364

Tee 2: 352

Tee 3: 334

Tee 4: 308

11th Hole

Par 3 · 201

Pro’s Tip:
The Par 3 11th hole plays 162 yards from the Member Tees over water into a large and wide green. This oddly shaped green is guarded by three bunkers, one front, left and right. The green slopes back to front and if not careful, could cause a few 3 putts. Playing from below the hole on the green is best chance at making a putt. There are no guarantees on this back to front sloping green as many putts will have quite a bit of break.

Tee 1: 201

Tee 2: 183

Tee 3: 162

Tee 4: 104

12th Hole

Par 4 · 452

Pro’s Tip:
Often referred to as the hardest hole on the course, the number two handicap Par 4 12th plays a stout 415 yards down a tight fairway. The tee shot is very important and must be inside the tree lines to have a chance at a good score. An ideal tee shot is down the right side of the fairway to avoid the overhanging tree guarding the green front left. This long green is well protected by 4 bunkers as well as a steep hill left and deep of the green. The green itself slopes back to front with subtle right-left breaks.

Tee 1: 452

Tee 2: 436

Tee 3: 415

Tee 4: 405

13th Hole

Par 4 · 441

Pro’s Tip:
This slight dog-leg right plays just under 400 yards from the Member Tees. The tee shot on this hole is blind, but the target line is left center of the fairway as the fairway is sloped left to right. The fairway is lined on the right side by thick trees all the way up to the hole. The left side of the fairway is more open for a miss but going too far left will put the ball out of play in a thick wooded area. The approach shot into this elevated green requires full attention as missing the green can leave a tough up and down. Three bunkers surround the green as well as thick, rough. The green slopes back to front as well as hard left-right back towards the lake.

Tee 1: 441

Tee 2: 416

Tee 3: 394

Tee 4: 380

14th Hole

Par 4 · 441

Pro’s Tip:
This severe dog-leg left plays right around 400 yards at the Member Tees. A 230-yard shot is all that is safely needed to give yourself an opportunity from the fairway. Cutting the corner on this one is protected by a large, wooded area and two large bunkers on the left and tall pines down on the right side and through the fairway. O.B stakes line the back side of the tall pines through the fairway. The ideal tee shot is on the right line of the right bunker. A longer iron is typically the club required to hit into this severely sloped green. The green is large and slopes very hard back to front; be sure to hit enough club to the back hole location as shots into the center of the green will spin and roll off the front, leaving a frustrating chip back up the hill.

Tee 1: 441

Tee 2: 420

Tee 3: 405

Tee 4: 320

15th Hole

Par 4 · 356

Pro’s Tip:
This short Par 4 also relies on accuracy over distance. With tall trees lining the fairway and two fairway bunkers, it is important to be in the fairway for the best chance at a good score. The green is large but is guarded by a large bunker at the front of the green. This green is elevated and slopes back to front hard. Putting from below the hole is the best opportunity at a made putt.

Tee 1: 356

Tee 2: 341

Tee 3: 327

Tee 4: 278

16th Hole

Par 5 · 560

Pro’s Tip:
The first of two Par 5s on the back nine plays 525 yards from the Member Tees. The hole goes out and slightly dog-legs down a long hill to the left. A bunker sits straight out in line with where the dogleg begins. Playing this hole as a three-shot approach is the best chance at avoiding a big number. The green is the longest on property, stretching 40 yards. The green also sits with water guarding the entire left side and long of the hole. Wind and hole location play a big factor hitting into this green.

Tee 1: 560

Tee 2: 536

Tee 3: 524

Tee 4: 492

17th Hole

Par 3 · 218

Pro’s Tip:
This iconic and picturesque island Par 3 plays around 150 yards from the Member Tees. Bunkers guard the green short and long of the green. The green itself is wide but not long. Breaks on this green are subtle. Be mindful of the wind direction as there could be a big difference in club selection. Regardless of pin location, hitting the green can be considered a win.

Tee 1: 218

Tee 2: 180

Tee 3: 146

Tee 4: 103

18th Hole

Par 5 · 545

Pro’s Tip:
The final hole of the North Course is a 500-yard Par 5 across a large body of water. This hole is a true high risk-high reward. Longer hitters can cut off a lot of distance hitting over the larger part of the lake, leaving a short iron for the second shot into the Par 5. The safe play is to aim online with the club house and play the hole as a three-shot approach. Around 100 yards out from the green, a small canal connects a small lake to the large one. This canal is not very apparent and must be accounted for when laying up. The green is guarded by three bunkers around the front of the green. The green slopes back to front with subtle breaks depending on hole location.

Tee 1: 545

Tee 2: 520

Tee 3: 491

Tee 4: 319
