Pro Tips
This dogleg left par 4 requires a tee shot, from the black tees, of about 200 yards and favoring the right side. The approach shot travels over a green to a green with two bunkers on the left side.

Men's 7
Women's 9
Yardage by Tee:
BLACK 344
GOLD 305
GREEN 234
RED 378
Pro Tips
This slight dogleg right par 4 can be shortened a bit by longer hitters who take their tee shot down the right, risking the out-of-bounds on the same side. The second shot plays straight uphill and will require more club than the yardage indicates. The putting surface has a false front and bunker on the right side.

Par: 4
Handicaps:
Men's 6
Women's 14
Yardage by Tee:
BLACK 399

Yardage by Tee:

GOLD 288
GREEN 246

Pro Tips
A drive down the left-center of this par 4 will leave players the best angle into an elevated green. Anything past the 100 yard marker tends to roll down the slope into the rough.

Men's 14
Women's 16
Yardage by Tee:
BLACK 159
GOLD 114

Pro Tips
A demanding tee shot awaits players on the par 5, thirteenth hole. Out-of-bounds runs down the left and a penalty area on the right mean accuracy is rewarded here. Then, a stream runs in front of the green, so a lay-up second is usually the play.
