1st Hole

Par 4 · 431

Pro’s Tip:
You have to make a decision with your tee shot to take on the left fairway bunker or not. The second shot plays about half a club uphill to a blind landing area. The ideal approch shot favors the left side of the green, there is a slope on the middle right side that take the ball to a run off area.

Hole 1

2nd Hole

Par 4 · 466

Pro’s Tip:
There is more room on the right side off the tee than it appears. Playing down the left side of the fairway will give you a better angle to attack the green.The green slopes right to left, the best miss is either short or long and left.

Hole 2

3rd Hole

Par 4 · 420

Pro’s Tip:
You can be aggressive off the tee and try to catch the slope behind the bunker to have a short iron approch. If you play safe off the tee and land in the fattest part of the fairway you will have a mid to long iron approch. The green has a false front.

Hole 3

4th Hole

Par 3 · 219

Pro’s Tip:
The first of our Par 3's. This hole should be a mid to long iron. Avoid the big bunker short left of the green.

Hole 4

5th Hole

Par 5 · 569

Pro’s Tip:
This long par 5 is downwind with the predominant South wind. Long hitters may choose less than driver off the tee. There is more room left once you're inside 150 yards, this also give you the best angle to attack the green. There is a big slope front left of the green, this helps you get close with a front pin location.

Tee 1: 569

Tee 2: 538

Tee 3: 538

Tee 4: 506

Tee 5: 480

Tee 6: 392

Hole 5

6th Hole

Par 4 · 361

Pro’s Tip:
This is a short par 4 that brings a lot of stratagy into play. The fairway is well protected by bunkers, if you want to attack this hole finding the fairway is a must. If you hit driver off the tee and get to close to the green, attacking a front pin location is difficult. This is one of our smallest greens, be aggressive if find the fairway and have a wedge in your hand.

Tee 1: 361

Tee 2: 330

Tee 3: 330

Tee 4: 320

Tee 5: 287

Tee 6: 261

Hole 6

7th Hole

Par 3 · 232

Pro’s Tip:
This is a large green that slopes back to front. It is best to miss your tee shot short right, this will give you the best oppurtunity to get up and down.

Tee 1: 232

Tee 2: 204

Tee 3: 183

Tee 4: 183

Tee 5: 140

Tee 6: 98

Hole 7

8th Hole

Par 4 · 482

Pro’s Tip:
There is more room right off the tee than first appears but playing down the left side of the fairway gives you the best angle for your approach shot. Short left is the best miss.

Tee 1: 482

Tee 2: 450

Tee 3: 439

Tee 4: 439

Tee 5: 383

Tee 6: 337

Hole 8

9th Hole

Par 5 · 564

Pro’s Tip:
This is a tough tee shot on a windy day because of the forced carry. Plenty of room right off the tee, playing down the left side will result in more run out and better angle to the green. The big decision you have to make is with your lay up, being aggressive and taking on the creek opens up the green for third shot. This green has three tiers, distance and spin control with your wedge shot is a must.

Tee 1: 564

Tee 2: 519

Tee 3: 519

Tee 4: 485

Tee 5: 423

Tee 6: 423

Hole 9

10th Hole

Par 4 · 471

Pro’s Tip:
This hole normally plays down wind. Avoiding the fairways bunkers allows you to attack this green. This green is large with suttle breaks, making reading putts difficult.

Tee 1: 471

Tee 2: 431

Tee 3: 390

Tee 4: 390

Tee 5: 373

Tee 6: 307

Hole 10

11th Hole

Par 4 · 457

Pro’s Tip:
The tee shot is tougher than if looks, it plays uphill and normally has a left to right wind. The second shot plays at least a club more and you can not see the putting surface. The green slopes back to front so the prefered miss is short.

Tee 1: 457

Tee 2: 430

Tee 3: 406

Tee 4: 406

Tee 5: 323

Tee 6: 309

Hole 11

12th Hole

Par PGA 4 | Member Par 5 · 493

Pro’s Tip:
The ideal tee short is down the left side of the fairway, the fairway slope left to right.The longer player can attack this green in two, most players will lay up short of the creek. The front half of the green slops back to back to front, the back half slope hard right to left.

Tee 1: 493

Tee 2: 547

Tee 4: 520

Tee 6: 379

Hole 12

13th Hole

Par 4 · 512

Pro’s Tip:
This is probably the toughest par four on the course. The tee shot plays uphill and has a big forced carry over bunkers and a creek. There is a bail out left for shorter hitters.The green is protected both front and back with bunker, missing short and left will give you the best chance for getting up and down. The green has a ridge running through it, front to back.

Tee 1: 512

Tee 2: 479

Tee 3: 437

Tee 4: 437

Tee 5: 395

Tee 6: 328

Hole 13

14th Hole

Par 4 · 330

Pro’s Tip:
This short par four is a through risk/reward hole. The shorter hitters have to decide what yardage second shot they want to have, there is more room right off the tee than appears. Most big hitter will take on the green, the bunkers right are always there to catch a bail out shot. This is one of our most undulated greens, you have to be accurate with your wedges if you want to make birdie.

Tee 1: 330

Tee 2: 302

Tee 3: 302

Tee 4: 264

Tee 5: 236

Tee 6: 203

Hole 14

15th Hole

Par 3 · 216

Pro’s Tip:
This is a mid to long iron par three, with the water down the left side the bunkers right see a lot of action. The green has a ridge that runs up the middle from front to back that creates a bowl for middle/front pins.

Tee 1: 216

Tee 2: 197

Tee 3: 186

Tee 4: 186

Tee 5: 167

Tee 6: 149

Hole 15

16th Hole

Par 4 · 492

Pro’s Tip:
A long and testing par four, into the wind this hole will challenge the best of players. You have to avoid the bunkers down the left if you want to hit this green in two. The bunkers front right hide what is one of the biggest greens on the course. Hitting the middle of this green is never a bad play. There is a severe slope on the left side of the green, and getting up and down from the chipping area is hard.

Tee 1: 492

Tee 2: 455

Tee 3: 429

Tee 4: 429

Tee 5: 416

Tee 6: 357

Hole 16

17th Hole

Par 3 · 171

Pro’s Tip:
A true sleeper par 3, don't let the yardage fool you. The wind will make hitting this green a true test. Any shot coming up short will be punished by the false front on the green and may roll back into the front bunker.

Tee 1: 171

Tee 2: 163

Tee 3: 163

Tee 4: 147

Tee 5: 133

Tee 6: 132

Hole 17

18th Hole

Par 5 · 552

Pro’s Tip:
Another risk/reward hole to finsh, there is a large landing area for those who have to lay up. The longer hitter off the tee will have an approach shot between 220-250 to the middle of the green. This green has two distinct levels, and if you want to make birdie being on the correct level is a must.

Tee 1: 552

Tee 2: 514

Tee 3: 514

Tee 4: 490

Tee 5: 464

Tee 6: 399
