Holes: 18   Yards: 7,253  Par: 72   Rating: 75.10   Slope: 143

1st Hole

Par 5 · 514

Pro’s Tip:
Starting with an intimidating looking tee shot of this Par 5 with the driving range serving as OB on the right and a pond on the left. The hole gently doglegs left with bunkers left of the green and another pond right of the green.

Tee 1: 514

Tee 2: 482

Tee 3: 447

Tee 4: 427

2nd Hole

Par 4 · 412

Pro’s Tip:
Par 4 with trees that jet out across the right side of the fairway just enough to snag slightly errant tee shots. Other than that, this hole is slightly uphill for the approach and nothing else to worry about.

Tee 1: 412

Tee 2: 380

Tee 3: 350

Tee 4: 334

3rd Hole

Par 3 · 168

Pro’s Tip:
The first Par 3 with a deep green that has some tricky slopes. Do not leave yourself a downhill put here.

Tee 1: 168

Tee 2: 130

Tee 3: 117

Tee 4: 88

4th Hole

Par 4 · 407

Pro’s Tip:
Par 4 that gently doglegs right. A long fairway bunker down the right side of the fairway discourages players from attempting to cut off the dogleg. A narrow green protected by bunkers requires a shot with precise distance control.

Tee 1: 407

Tee 2: 381

Tee 3: 356

Tee 4: 325

5th Hole

Par 4 · 395

Pro’s Tip:
This Par 4 entices players to try and cover as much of the water as possible to leave the shortest approach possible, but be warned, little gusts of wind have been known to make many balls splash causing golfer’s hopes for a hot start to be crashed.

Tee 1: 395

Tee 2: 370

Tee 3: 355

Tee 4: 316

6th Hole

Par 5 · 568

Pro’s Tip:
The second Par 5 is best navigated by having a plan in place already. The tee shot gives you a lot to look at with water and trees. The longer hitters will try to sneak their tee shot past a cluster of trees in the middle of the fairway leaving a mid-iron approach over water however be careful not to run through the fairway and into the water. If avoiding the water at all costs is your plan, then precise shots around the dogleg left is the best play.

Tee 1: 568

Tee 2: 520

Tee 3: 490

Tee 4: 410

7th Hole

Par 4 · 430

Pro’s Tip:
Par 4 with trees that narrow the fairway right where most golfers would land their tee shots. The hole runs straight though and once in the fairway a straightforward approach awaits.

Tee 1: 430

Tee 2: 407

Tee 3: 393

Tee 4: 349

8th Hole

Par 3 · 194

Pro’s Tip:
A lot to look at on this Par 3, water and bunkers guard this green making club selection and commitment a premium. Also don’t forget to check the wind!

Tee 1: 194

Tee 2: 172

Tee 3: 130

Tee 4: 120

9th Hole

Par 4 · 451

Pro’s Tip:
On a course filled with demanding tee shots this Par 4 is no different. A slight dogleg left with a big pond down the left forces players to either risk the water off the tee or accept a long approach to a green surrounded by bunkers and water left.

Tee 1: 451

Tee 2: 430

Tee 3: 420

Tee 4: 403

10th Hole

Par 4 · 446

Pro’s Tip:
Starting off the back 9 is a Par 4 that doglegs left. This hole is on the longer more difficult side so do not be discouraged by a hiccup here.

Tee 1: 446

Tee 2: 411

Tee 3: 402

Tee 4: 354

11th Hole

Par 5 · 583

Pro’s Tip:
Par 5 with water all down the left side, only the bravest and longest of hitters will attempt this green in two, the prudent play is to place the ball down the right side of the fairway and past a group of trees guarding the front of the green.

Tee 1: 583

Tee 2: 569

Tee 3: 558

Tee 4: 486

12th Hole

Par 3 · 186

Pro’s Tip:
Par 3 with a long narrow green.

Tee 1: 186

Tee 2: 170

Tee 3: 154

Tee 4: 144

13th Hole

Par 4 · 419

Pro’s Tip:
Sharp dogleg left Par 4 here. Be aware of fairway bunkers that catch balls running through the fairway.

Tee 1: 419

Tee 2: 386

Tee 3: 366

Tee 4: 332

14th Hole

Par 4 · 410

Pro’s Tip:
A nice reprieve here in the form of a gentle dogleg right with no immediate danger. Fire away and take dead aim.

Tee 1: 410

Tee 2: 381

Tee 3: 360

Tee 4: 340

15th Hole

Par 4 · 461

Pro’s Tip:
A long Par 4 that longer hitter may need to be aware of a creek that cuts through the middle of the fairway.

Tee 1: 461

Tee 2: 445

Tee 3: 430

Tee 4: 402

16th Hole

Par 4 · 413

Pro’s Tip:
Par 4 with water all down the left and a strategically placed bunker on the right. The fairway narrows significantly after the fairway bunker.

Tee 1: 413

Tee 2: 388

Tee 3: 368

Tee 4: 345

17th Hole

Par 3 · 224

Pro’s Tip:
Long Par 3 with a long narrow green.

Tee 1: 224

Tee 2: 200

Tee 3: 175

Tee 4: 144

18th Hole

Par 5 · 572

Pro’s Tip:
This is it, the “Tin Cup” pelican hole! The final hole is a Par 5 that gives many different options. A big pond creates two landing areas for the tee shot. To the left is a forced carry over the water that requires a long and accurate tee shot. To the right means no water but there is a big fairway bunker. No matter which route you take off the tee, the namesake Island green awaits. Be sure to check out the statue of the famous pelican from the bar scene out of the movie “Tin Cup” that is perched on the bulkheads on the water’s edge.

Tee 1: 572

Tee 2: 555

Tee 3: 536

Tee 4: 502
