Holes: 18 Yards: 7,051 Par: 72 Rating: 74.80 Slope: 145

HOLE-BY-HOLE

1st HOLE

Par 4 · 424 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
Aim your drive just to the left side of bunker (210 yards from tee) on right side of fairway. Play approach shot to the center of this green, which slopes right to left.

Tee 1: 424

Tee 2: 400

Tee 3: 378

Tee 4: 378

Tee 5: 350

2nd HOLE

Par 4 · 427 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
Keep drive left of bunkers on right side-a long drive is a must. Play approach to front right of green and allow slope to fee ball left to the hole.

Tee 1: 427

Tee 2: 418

Tee 3: 397

Tee 4: 326

Tee 5: 326

3rd HOLE

Par 3 · 232 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
Land tee shot on front of green and allow for roll. If flag is back left, aim to center of green and allow slope to fee ball left to the hole.

Tee 1: 232

Tee 2: 211

Tee 3: 200

Tee 4: 200

Tee 5: 168

4th HOLE

Par 5 · 549 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
Keep drive left of bunkers. Favor the right-hand side of fairway on second shot, bearing in mind fairway bunkers on both sides of fairway beginning approximately 100 yards from green. Approach shots should be played to the right side of green, as balls funnel left. Don’t be fooled by false front.

Tee 1: 549

Tee 2: 510

Tee 3: 535

Tee 4: 493

Tee 5: 493

5th HOLE

Par 4 · 394 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
The smart play is to the right of the fairway bunkers. Long knockers can carry bunkers but beware this small bunkered green calls for a high, soft approach shot.

Tee 1: 394

Tee 2: 382

Tee 3: 371

Tee 4: 371

Tee 5: 360

6th HOLE

Par 3 · 195 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
Play shot to center of the green. Due to elevation change, hole generally plays 1 to 2 clubs shorter than yardage. If your shot finds the hazard there is a drop area past the silver tees.

Tee 1: 195

Tee 2: 181

Tee 3: 168

Tee 4: 149

Tee 5: 149

7th HOLE

Par 5 · 515 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
A long tee shot left of the fairway bunkers makes this green accessible in 2, but beware: the difficulty begins on green! A smart approach is to play second shot to the left of green, allowing for the best angle for this monster green. Short shots or right roll 20-40 yards

Tee 1: 515

Tee 2: 500

Tee 3: 490

Tee 4: 490

Tee 5: 480

8th HOLE

Par 3 · 215 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
This downhill par 3 plays 1-2 clubs shorter than its yardage but is usually into the prevailing wind. Play shot to front left of green and allow the severe left to right slope to funnel the ball to the hole.

Tee 1: 215

Tee 2: 195

Tee 3: 170

Tee 4: 170

Tee 5: 141

9th HOLE

Par 5 · 584 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
Favor the left-hand side as it is OB right. Play second shot down right-hand side as the fairway if banked right to left. Green slopes back to front and right.

Tee 1: 584

Tee 2: 568

Tee 3: 547

Tee 4: 524

Tee 5: 524

10th HOLE

Par 4 · 399 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
Favor the right side to avoid the large tree in fairway on your approach shot. This very narrow green is deep, so pay attention to the pin location when hitting approach shot.

Tee 1: 399

Tee 2: 386

Tee 3: 365

Tee 4: 331

Tee 5: 331

11th HOLE

Par 3 · 173 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
This breath-taking par 3 is the Signature Hole at Flintrock Falls. This beauty can turn into a beast for balls short or right. Enjoy!

Tee 1: 173

Tee 2: 165

Tee 3: 147

Tee 4: 147

Tee 5: 135

12th HOLE

Par 5 · 551 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
A long straight drive will reward players with a chance to “go for it”, but the creek which bisects the fairway and then guards the green makes laying up more optional. High soft shot on this shallow green is preferred.

Tee 1: 551

Tee 2: 545

Tee 3: 522

Tee 4: 502

Tee 5: 502

13th HOLE

Par 4 · 370 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
The shortest Par 4 on the course. A straight drive will leave the player with a short iron and chance for birdie! The fairway bunkers start 223 yards from the tee.

Tee 1: 370

Tee 2: 364

Tee 3: 346

Tee 4: 346

Tee 5: 263

14th HOLE

Par 4 · 450 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
Mr. Nicklaus’s favorite hole. Big hitters can clear the bunkers to right, but the wiser play it to play left of the bunker leaving a mid to long iron into an unguarded green that that moves front to back.

Tee 1: 450

Tee 2: 421

Tee 3: 393

Tee 4: 356

Tee 5: 356

15th HOLE

Par 3 · 173 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
Finally a short par 3. It is better to be long than short with your tee shot.

Tee 1: 173

Tee 2: 160

Tee 3: 143

Tee 4: 143

Tee 5: 335

16th HOLE

Par 4 · 414 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
The ideal shot is to play just to the right of the tree over the ravine. There is more room than it appears, and the ball should kick left. Play the approach to the right-hand side of the green as it severely slopes from right to left.

Tee 1: 414

Tee 2: 385

Tee 3: 385

Tee 4: 335

17th HOLE

Par 5 · 527 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
“Grip it and Rip it”. Another chance to reach in two with a long drive. Beware of bunker in the center of the fairway about 90 yards out from green and play right or left. Green slopes from right to left severely.

Tee 1: 527

Tee 2: 504

Tee 3: 484

Tee 4: 484

Tee 5: 451

18th HOLE

Par 4 · 459 Yards

Pro’s Tip:
True test of golf. Creek cuts across fairway 226 from tee on left and 292 on right side. Play approach to front of this domed green and allow ball to find its way to the hole.

Tee 1: 459

Tee 2: 436

Tee 3: 403

Tee 4: 377

Tee 5: 377
