1st Hole

Par 4 · 367

Pro’s Tip:

The opening hole at TPC Piper Glen is a slight dogleg right par 4. The tee shot should favor the right-center to give players a better angle to a green that's guarded by bunkers to the front left.

TPC Piper Glen Hole 1

2nd Hole

Par 5 · 529

Pro’s Tip:
This uphill par 5 offers players a decision off the tee; long hitters can go right of the fairway bunker to try and reach the green in two, while shorter players should go left. The green on this hole is three-tiered, so being on the correct level is rewarded.

Tee 1: 529

Tee 2: 507

Tee 3: 465

Tee 4: 447

Tee 5: 392

TPC Piper Glen Hole 2

3rd Hole

Par 4 · 430

Pro’s Tip:
Tee shots on the third must favor the right side, as a severe drop-off to the left will punish anything in that direction. The approach into this green will play slightly downhill.

Tee 1: 430

Tee 2: 402

Tee 3: 365

Tee 4: 355

Tee 5: 312

4th Hole

Par 3 · 210

Pro’s Tip:
The fourth hole is the longest par 3 on the golf course. It features a three-tiered green, which makes being short of the pin important.

Tee 1: 210

Tee 2: 189

Tee 3: 176

Tee 4: 152

Tee 5: 125

5th Hole

Par 4 · 419

Pro’s Tip:
This dogleg left par 4 plays slightly uphill. It features a hill on the right side of the fairway and a green that slopes back to front.

Tee 1: 419

Tee 2: 401

Tee 3: 369

Tee 4: 347

Tee 5: 273

TPC Piper Glen Hole 5

6th Hole

Par 5 · 556

Pro’s Tip:
The sixth is the longest hole on the golf course. Long hitters can shorten the hole by taking their tee shot to the right, but risk having trees block out their second if not hit far enough. The second shot will get a lot of roll as it heads steep downhill. Layups should favor the right side to take the heavily guarded left side of the green out of play.

Tee 1: 556

Tee 2: 514

Tee 3: 470

Tee 4: 462

Tee 5: 401

TPC Piper Glen Hole 6

7th Hole

Par 4 · 374

Pro’s Tip:

The ideal tee shot on this par 4 is down the right side of the fairway. This will leave players a good angle to the green that's guarded by front and back bunkers. Approach shots should stay left of the pin, as the green has two tiers and slopes from left to right.

Tee 1: 374

Tee 2: 352

Tee 3: 340

Tee 4: 235

Tee 5: 229

TPC Piper Glen Hole 7

8th Hole

Par 3 · 189

Pro’s Tip:
The eighth is a straightaway par 3 over water. Tee shots can easily avoid the water by aiming for the right side of the green.

Tee 1: 189

Tee 2: 155

Tee 3: 139

Tee 4: 143

Tee 5: 130

TPC Piper Glen Hole 8

9th Hole

Par 4 · 436

Pro’s Tip:
The front nine closes with the most challenging hole on the golf course. An ideal tee ball will favor the left side of the fairway, in order to give the best angle in. Bunkers on the right and left and ponds to the front and back surround the putting surface.

Tee 1: 436

Tee 2: 416

Tee 3: 388

Tee 4: 346

Tee 5: 307

TPC Piper Glen Hole 9

10th Hole

Par 4 · 384

Pro’s Tip:
The tenth hole is a straightaway par 4, with Fourmile Creek crossing in front of the tee and snaking its way down the entire left side of the fairway and behind the green. Players must be careful not to favor the right side off the tee too much, as it brings a chance of being blocked out by the Carolina Pines right of the fairway.

Tee 1: 384

Tee 2: 378

Tee 3: 346

Tee 4: 320

Tee 5: 273

TPC Piper Glen Hole 10

11th Hole

Par 4 · 435

Pro’s Tip:
A drive down the left-center of the fairway will leave players the best angle into this elevated green. Longer hitters may want to take less club, as there is a hiding pond long and left of the fairway.

Tee 1: 435

Tee 2: 398

Tee 3: 378

Tee 4: 367

Tee 5: 283

TPC Piper Glen Hole 11

12th Hole

Par 3 · 183

Pro’s Tip:
The twelfth hole is a downhill par 3 that features a tiered green that slopes left-to-right and front-to-back. Players will want to take their tee shot over the left bunker and let the green take it.

Tee 1: 183

Tee 2: 160

Tee 3: 141

Tee 4: 123

Tee 5: 102

TPC Piper Glen Hole 12

13th Hole

Par 4 · 447

Pro’s Tip:
The split fairway on this long par 4 ebbs and flows and players will be rewarded if they can get their tee shot over the hill. The green is elevated and slopes from back to front and right to left.

Tee 1: 447

Tee 2: 414

Tee 3: 374

Tee 4: 366

Tee 5: 292

TPC Piper Glen Hole 13

14th Hole

Par 4 · 389

Pro’s Tip:

The tightest tee shot greets players on this par 4. PGA seniors once called this hole "Nightmare on Elm" in reference to the street on the right. A creek also runs down the right side of the hole from tee to green where it becomes a pond that protects the green. Players will need to keep their golf ball away from the water as the green slopes left to right.

Tee 1: 389

Tee 2: 363

Tee 3: 346

Tee 4: 274

Tee 5: 267

TPC Piper Glen Hole 14

15th Hole

Par 4 · 410

Pro’s Tip:

This dogleg left par 4 plays uphill. Players will want to take their tee shot off the bunkers right edge to give the best look at a green that slopes from right-to-left.

Tee 1: 410

Tee 2: 373

Tee 3: 368

Tee 4: 280

Tee 5: 261

TPC Piper Glen Hole 15

16th Hole

Par 5 · 501

Pro’s Tip:

The sixteenth is a par 5 that plays longer than its yardage since the second shot goes back up the hill. Players tee shot should favor the left and their second shot should finish on the right. The green is tiered and slopes back to front.

Tee 1: 501

Tee 2: 488

Tee 3: 454

Tee 4: 388

Tee 5: 352

TPC Piper Glen Hole 16

17th Hole

Par 3 · 137

Pro’s Tip:
This short, downhill par 3 features Mitchell pond to the left and back of the green. With a green of nearly 40 yards deep and the elevation change of up to 20 yards, this hole can fluctuate significantly in playable distance.

Tee 1: 137

Tee 2: 138

Tee 3: 120

Tee 4: 108

Tee 5: 90

TPC Piper Glen Hole 17

18th Hole

Par 5 · 540

Pro’s Tip:

The closing hole is a true risk-reward par 5; the more a player challenges Mitchell Pond, the shorter they'll have into the green. Conservative players will aim towards the right bunker off the tee and play down the right side to give themselves the best angle into the green. Approach shots need to navigate a long greenside bunker on the right and water around the rest of the putting surface.

Tee 2: 489
