COURSE

The opening hole is a short but challenging starting hole. An accurate tee shot with a slight fade will avoid the trees on the right and leave the player with short shot to small, elevated green. While there are no bunkers surrounding the green, the significantly sloped green from back to front leaves any missed approach shots with a difficult up and down. Approach shots should be kept below the hole.

A short but very difficult par 3 which requires a precise short iron from the tee. Water fronts this small, severely sloped green. Any tee shots long will surely result in bogey while a short tee shot will find the water.

The first of three par 5's on the first nine requires a very accurate shot from the tee. The fairway is tree lined on both sides and features rolling hills that will slow a tee shot down or create extra roll depending on where the ball lands. The dogleg left is reachable in 2 shots, but accuracy is a must. A more generous green is guarded on both sides by bunkers.

A medium length par 4 requires left to right ball flight from the tee. Longer hitters will find there ball at the bottom of the hill with a short approach left to a very elevated green. Guarded by bunkers in front and back, the green is relatively flat.

A par 5 that only the longest of hitters may reach in two. The 5th is 3 shot par 5 for most. A generous landing area awaits the tee shot but the hole becomes more challenging the closer the player gets to the green. A layup with a mid-iron to right side of the fairway will leave the player with a clear 3rd to the green. Water fronts this green and any approach short or left will find the water. The generous size green is very well sloped and positioning the ball in the correct spot on the green is a must.

Again another par 3 that presents challenge to even the best players. While only a short iron is need, the small, kidney shaped green is difficult to hit. Water fronts the green and a bunker guards the left side. It is always safe to play left of the hole here.

The final par 5 on the first nine plays straight up hill and once again requires left to right ball flight off the tee. While reachable in 2 shots, the green is significantly elevated making club selection difficult. The green is guarded by bunkers on the front right and back. The green is one of the most flat on the golf course giving the player a great chance for birdie.

A most challenging par 3, the eighth will require a long iron or even a wood to reach. The green is sloped from back to front and has no bunkers guarding it. A tee shot to the front or even short of this green will give the player an opportunity to make par.

A very short but tight par 4 finishes the first nine. Any tee shot to the right will find trouble in the trees. Pars from the right are very rare. A long iron or fairway wood in the fairway will still leave a short iron to the green. Longer hitters may take the risk of hitting driver leaving a medium length pitch to the small, flat green. However, a missed tee shot could find trees and water right or out of bounds left.

The tenth is a reachable par 4 for long hitters or a short dogleg right for the conservative player. Again, a small sloping green requires proper positioning of the approach shot. This is a great birdie chance.

This dogleg right requires left to right ball flight from the tee to avoid the trees right. Tee shots it too far from the tee will run through the fairway and once again find trees. The green seems simple from the fairway with no bunkering, but like the 1st green, positioning the approach shot on the green below the hole is a must. Missed approach shots will leave the player with a very difficult up and down.

A medium length par 3 which features a well-guarded, narrow green where the player will have to find the green with a well struck mid iron. The long green is sloped from back to front and can play two clubs longer depending on the hole location.

The 13th is a 90 degree dogleg right which can be played many ways. The safe play is a fairway wood to the bottom of the hill leaving an uphill approach to an elevated, very sloping green. Longer hitters may try to cut the dogleg by playing over the trees to the right leaving a short pitch to the green, however, disaster awaits the player that does not get the ball over the trees. Placement on the green is crucial as three putts are common at the 13th.

This short dogleg left allows the player to hit a fairway or driver from the tee as the ball will release downhill to a valley landing area. A tee shot to the left will almost always result in a bogey while an approach from the fairway to the elevated green is accomplished with just a short iron. The generous green is guarded by two bunkers on its front left and right.

One of the lengthier par 4's on the golf course requires accurate placement in the fairway from the tee. Tee shots that favor the right side of the straight away par 4 will allow the player to avoid the large tree guarding the left side of the green. The fairway slopes from left to right will allow the ball to release to the right but ball played directly to the right side will cause the ball to release into the rough and trees that guard the right side of the fairway. The green, while small, is relatively flat.

The final par 5 on golf course plays significantly up hill. While not a lengthy par 5, the hole plays longer due to the elevation of the green. The small green is guarded by bunkers in the front and back. This is a great opportunity for birdie or even eagle.

The last par 3 on the golf course seems very benign from the tee but tee placement is crucial. The tee shot requires a mid to long iron to a small unprotected green. Hitting the green is a challenge but putting is the key here. The green is virtually two-tiered and any putt from above the hole will roll well past the hole. Much like #8, a tee shot on the front of the green or just short of it is a safe play.

The closing hole is a very short par 4. With water in front of the green, an iron or fairway wood from the tee is a must. The green very challenging and well-guarded with both the water and bunkers. Although players will approach this green with a short iron, a misplaced approach can be disastrous. While players will have a great chance at birdie on their final hole, one misplaced shot can result in bogey or worse.
