HOLE-BY-HOLE INFO

1st Hole

Par 4 · 461

Pro’s Tip:
Nice beginning hole Par 4 where you need precision on the drive in the fairway. This skinny green will accept a good shot.

Tee 1: 461

Tee 2: 416

Tee 3: 286

Tee 4: 338

Tee 5: 316

2nd Hole

Par 4 · 458

Pro’s Tip:
A straight away Par 4 with typical wind right to left. A good drive will leave a short to mid iron. Just try to avoid greenside bunkers.

Tee 1: 458

Tee 2: 424

Tee 3: 389

Tee 4: 332

Tee 5: 301

3rd Hole

Par 4 · 416

Pro’s Tip:
Visually intimidating tee shot with the big bunkers off the tee. Short iron in to this big green allows you to attack!

Tee 1: 416

Tee 2: 379

Tee 3: 345

Tee 4: 279

Tee 5: 219

4th Hole

Par 3 · 180

Pro’s Tip:
Redesigned Par 3 is open for all hole location access. Don’t be short and in the water.

Tee 1: 180

Tee 2: 171

Tee 3: 140

Tee 4: 96

Tee 5: 60

5th Hole

Par 5 · 576

Pro’s Tip:
Long Par 5 dogleg to the right will allow for good scores. Lay up to a good yardage on the second shot to leave you a good angle to the hole.

Tee 1: 576

Tee 2: 507

Tee 3: 499

Tee 4: 489

Tee 5: 437

6th Hole

Par 4 · 401

Pro’s Tip:
Tight Par 4 that may not be a driver off the tee. You must avoid the water right and the woods left. A tee shot to the 150 yard marker is all you need.

Tee 1: 401

Tee 2: 354

Tee 3: 341

Tee 4: 278

Tee 5: 264

7th Hole

Par 3 · 203

Pro’s Tip:
Par 3 hole with water in front of green. Wind will be left to right mostly and you will want to just find the middle of this green.

Tee 1: 203

Tee 2: 183

Tee 3: 155

Tee 4: 114

Tee 5: 71

8th Hole

Par 5 · 530

Pro’s Tip:
Tee shot must be precise on this Par 5 hole. Avoid the creek that meanders through this hole tee to green. A good tee shot will leave a long hitter a chance to go for green in two. Other will lay up and hit short irons into this green.

Tee 1: 530

Tee 2: 522

Tee 3: 503

Tee 4: 447

Tee 5: 422

9th Hole

Par 4 · 370

Pro’s Tip:
Downhill Par 4 where the fairway ends before a creek. Driver will not be the play here which will leave a short iron into this downhill shot to green.

Tee 1: 370

Tee 2: 356

Tee 3: 333

Tee 4: 249

Tee 5: 225

10th Hole

Par 5 · 505

Pro’s Tip:
Par 5 hole where you have a great chance to reach the green in two. Playing into the wind, you may have to lay up in front of creek, but will leave a short iron in. The green slopes big right to left.

Tee 1: 505

Tee 2: 480

Tee 3: 446

Tee 4: 409

Tee 5: 351

11th Hole

Par 3 · 233

Pro’s Tip:
Beautiful Par 3 into a south wind. Not much bailout right or left of this green. Play to the middle.

Tee 1: 233

Tee 2: 210

Tee 3: 160

Tee 4: 136

Tee 5: 126

12th Hole

Par 5 · 500

Pro’s Tip:
Straight away Par 5 that is protected left and right with water. White Rock Creek will come in to play on anything hit left of the fairway. A good drive and second shot will leave a short iron to the green.

Tee 1: 500

Tee 2: 472

Tee 3: 430

Tee 4: 397

Tee 5: 369

13th Hole

Par 4 · 331

Pro’s Tip:
A short Par 4 hole where tee shot placement is demanding. A tee shot to the middle of fairway and 100 yards out is fantastic. This green runs back to front, so don’t be short as water in front of green is starring at you.

Tee 1: 331

Tee 2: 317

Tee 3: 299

Tee 4: 248

Tee 5: 234

14th Hole

Par 4 · 452

Pro’s Tip:
Long Par 4 where a driver has to be used. Middle of fairway will leave you a mid to long iron into this green over White Rock Creek.

Tee 1: 452

Tee 2: 428

Tee 3: 358

Tee 4: 306

Tee 5: 275

15th Hole

Par 3 · 232

Pro’s Tip:
Simple Par 3 hole where your tee shot can attack any hole location.

Tee 1: 232

Tee 2: 153

Tee 3: 130

Tee 4: 125

Tee 5: 100

16th Hole

Par 5 · 537

Pro’s Tip:
Par 5 hole where you have to make a decision off the tee. If you hit driver past the tree in the fairway, water comes in to play, but you may have along second shot to the green. Most players will hit a tee shot short of the fairway tree, then hit a layup shot out to the right of the green as you will be within 100 yards.

Tee 1: 537

Tee 2: 513

Tee 3: 480

Tee 4: 410

Tee 5: 372

17th Hole

Par 3 · 191

Pro’s Tip:
Uphill Par 3 with a not so wide green. This green could play 30 yards long, so check the hole location and wind!

Tee 1: 191

Tee 2: 173

Tee 3: 151

Tee 4: 127

Tee 5: 95

18th Hole

Par 4 · 445

Pro’s Tip:
Great finishing hole with an uphill dogleg right Par 4. Driver off the tee must be put in fairway as trees on both sides of hole will block you. Second shot will be slightly uphill to a green you cannot see. Tough shot as you have to figure the uphill and usual South wind.

Tee 1: 445

Tee 2: 429

Tee 3: 400

Tee 4: 371

Tee 5: 295
