Slope:

Black- 126 | White- 123 | Gold -131

Pro Tips

The first hole is a short par 4 that plays entirely uphill. Grassy moguls line the fairway making a level lie rare. A good drive will leave a short-iron into this green that slopes back-to-front.

Slope:

Pro Tips

The first par 3 is also the shortest on the course, but that doesn’t mean it’s the easiest. A tiered green awaits golfers. The aim should be at the center of the putting surface as anything left or right of the green can cause trouble.

Yardage by Tee:

BLACK 391

WHITE 381

GOLD 377

Slope:

Black- 126 | White- 123 | Gold -131

Pro Tips

The sixth is a classic risk-reward par 4. It’s narrow and downhill, so golfers can either bomb a driver up near the green or play it safe with less club off the tee. Out-of-bounds left and right will penalize any wayward shots.

Slope:

Black- 126 | White- 123 | Gold -131
