Holes: 18   Yards: 7,058  Par: 72   Rating: 74.90   Slope: 134  

1st Hole

Par 4 · 371

Pro’s Tip:
Par 4 with a slew of fairway bunkers down the right side, if you want your round to get off to a good start, avoid them at all cost.

Tee 1: 371

Tee 2: 346

Tee 3: 323

Tee 4: 289

2nd Hole

Par 4 · 425

Pro’s Tip:
Similar to the first hole, just slightly longer and without the fairway bunkers, so blast away off the tee box on this par 4.

Tee 1: 425

Tee 2: 389

Tee 3: 365

Tee 4: 325

3rd Hole

Par 5 · 522

Pro’s Tip:
Scenic par 5 with water all along the left side of the hole. There are bunkers surrounding the green so proceed with caution if attempting to hit this green in two.

Tee 1: 522

Tee 2: 495

Tee 3: 469

Tee 4: 434

4th Hole

Par 3 · 202

Pro’s Tip:
Par 3 with water left of the green that always seems to gobble up its fair share of golf balls.

Tee 1: 202

Tee 2: 176

Tee 3: 142

Tee 4: 119

5th Hole

Par 5 · 530

Pro’s Tip:
Tricky par 5 that greets you right off the tee box with water and trees to look at. With a tree and bunkers in the middle of the fairway in the layup area, and water, bunkers, and grass mounds surrounding the green, losing your focus on this hole could prove costly.

Tee 1: 530

Tee 2: 502

Tee 3: 482

Tee 4: 455

6th Hole

Par 3 · 158

Pro’s Tip:
Beautiful par 3 over water. Do not be alarmed, this is not an island green like 17 at Sawgrass, there is land to the right of the green. Take dead aim at the pin.

Tee 1: 158

Tee 2: 130

Tee 3: 114

Tee 4: 92

7th Hole

Par 4 · 478

Pro’s Tip:
Straight-away par 4 that can lull you to sleep. It is only when you get to your tee shot you realize how long this hole is and how tough a challenge it can be.

Tee 1: 478

Tee 2: 445

Tee 3: 416

Tee 4: 389

8th Hole

Par 4 · 414

Pro’s Tip:
Depending on a player’s length and chosen tee box, this may be a blind tee shot for some. There is a grass mound that divides the fairway into two distinct sections, the left side sits considerably higher than the right side. Either side requires an uphill second shot to the green.

Tee 1: 414

Tee 2: 385

Tee 3: 360

Tee 4: 341

9th Hole

Par 4 · 426

Pro’s Tip:
A par 4 with water all down the left side of the hole and green. A big fairway bunker guards the right side of the fairway, placing a premium on an accurate tee shot. There is a collection area right of the green that catches many shots that go astray.

Tee 1: 426

Tee 2: 386

Tee 3: 350

Tee 4: 305

10th Hole

Par 5 · 510

Pro’s Tip:
A long par 5 without much trouble off the tee. The dangers await in the layup and eventual shot into the green, bunkers and grass mounds are the teeth of this hole.

Tee 1: 510

Tee 2: 476

Tee 3: 465

Tee 4: 429

11th Hole

Par 3 · 210

Pro’s Tip:
Par 3 with 3 bunkers guarding the green, all of them on the right side of the green.

Tee 1: 210

Tee 2: 167

Tee 3: 155

Tee 4: 120

12th Hole

Par 4 · 343

Pro’s Tip:
The true definition of a risk reward par 4. The short yardage tempts you to bombs away with driver and set yourself up for a short approach, but water guards the entire right side of the hole. A deep bunker guards the front of the green and a steep slope rolls balls into the water that miss right.

Tee 1: 343

Tee 2: 322

Tee 3: 305

Tee 4: 280

13th Hole

Par 4 · 369

Pro’s Tip:
Par 4 that doglegs left slightly with a fairway bunker on the left that needs to be avoided to the right. A long narrow green awaits requiring a precise shot.

Tee 1: 369

Tee 2: 334

Tee 3: 322

Tee 4: 282

14th Hole

Par 3 · 178

Pro’s Tip:
Par 3 with a massive bunker guarding right of the green. A big slope runs through the middle of the green creating some interesting putts if you get on the wrong side.

Tee 1: 178

Tee 2: 145

Tee 3: 121

Tee 4: 97

15th Hole

Par 4 · 473

Pro’s Tip:
Par 4 with a generously wide fairway, however there are bunkers on the right and water on the left guarding the green, so this hole is not as simple as it appears from the tee box.

Tee 1: 473

Tee 2: 429

Tee 3: 411

Tee 4: 385

16th Hole

Par 4 · 392

Pro’s Tip:
Par 4, avoiding the bunkers left and right of the green, this hole will offer opportunities for a good score.

Tee 1: 392

Tee 2: 370

Tee 3: 350

Tee 4: 315

17th Hole

Par 5 · 602

Pro’s Tip:
Strap in, this par 5 is the longest hole on the course. A blind tee shot for longer hitters as the hole turns sharply to the right and the view is blocked by a heavily wooded area. There are three big deep bunkers that guard the left side of the fairway heading up to the green. Making it through this hole in par is a notable achievement for any player.

Tee 1: 602

Tee 2: 568

Tee 3: 551

Tee 4: 502

18th Hole

Par 4 · 455

Pro’s Tip:
The final hole on is a beautiful par 4 with a pond that comes into play off the tee left for longer hitters. Player will need to negotiate the pond for their approach to the green. Big grass mounds protect the green to the right that make for a tough up and down.

Tee 1: 455

Tee 2: 428

Tee 3: 381

Tee 4: 355
