Hole #1 | Par 4
392 yards | HDCP 2
Begin play on a long Par-4 measuring 392 yards. The slight dogleg left requires accuracy and distance off the tee. On your approach shot be careful of the mounds around the green with hidden ponds on the right and in front. A layup shot to 100 yards could be a wise choice in some situations. Par is a good score on this hole.
Hole #3 | Par 5
502 yards | HDCP 4
This 502-yard Par-5 will require three good shots if you’re looking for a birdie. Long hitters may be able to reach the green in two with a large tee shot. Your approach shot should be a short to mid iron to an undulating green that is highlighted by a huge granite boulder at the back. You’ll be happy with a Par on this hole!
Hole #4 | Par 4
350 yards | HDCP 8
This Par-4 slight dogleg left measuring 350 yards requires accuracy and distance off the tee so that you can see the beautiful approach shot to the green. Your second shot will require a mid to short iron to a green that is guarded by three mounds and a small bunker.
Hole #7 | Par 4
245 yards | HDCP 18
The shortest Par-4 on the course at 245 yards, this hole will tempt many players to go for the green off the tee. The smart play is to place a long iron on the fairway, followed by hitting a short approach shot to the long and narrow mounded green. Birdies should be plentiful on this hole.
Hole #9 | Par 5
430 yards | HDCP 10
This 430-yard Par-5 is a beautiful driving hole from an elevated tee to a landing area that slopes to the right. Long hitters attempting to get home in two will be faced with a blind shot that must clear a pond in front of the green. The lay-up shot should be positioned on the right side of the fairway. This will give a good view of the medium-sized stadium green that is heavily contoured. Par is considered a good score here!
Hole #11 | Par 5
521 yards | HDCP 1
This Par-5 is the longest hole on the course (521 yards) and also the tightest. Accuracy is more essential than distance on your tee shot, which should be placed on the left side of the fairway to avoid trouble from trees and rocks on the right. Keep your second shot on the left of the fairway, as it will roll back to the center. A tiny sloping green from left to right guarded by mounds and a bunker will not yield that many birdies. Take your par and run!
Hole #12 | Par 4
326 yards | HDCP 17
A somewhat short hole of 326 yards, this Par-4 requires a tee shot on the left side to allow the ball to bounce back towards the middle of this left-to-right sloped fairway. Long ball hitters will need to be careful of the pond on the left front of the green. You’ll use a short iron to an elevated, three-tiered green. Be sharp to get your two-putt on this green!
Hole #14 | Par 4
366 yards | HDCP 7
This 366-yard Par-4 requires a very strategic tee shot. A long iron or fairway wood is a good play here off the tee. Your second shot is played to the longest green on the course. Don’t go left, as there is a big drop-off where your ball will be lost. Par is a good score here.
Hole #16 | Par 3
156 yards | HDCP 13
Our signature 156-yard Par-3 requires a tee shot to carry three small ponds to a two-tiered green guarded by four bunkers. You’ll be rewarded with a good tee shot but you may scramble for par if you miss the green. Take a minute to enjoy the scenery on this hole.
Hole #17 | Par 4
321 yards | HDCP 11
A strategically placed tee shot on this Par-4, 321-yard dogleg left will be on the right side of the fairway 200 yards from the tee. This will leave a short iron shot to an undulating green with an outcropping granite boulder behind it. This is not a hole to be taken lightly. 4 is a good score.
Hole #18 | Par 5
447 yards | HDCP 15
This is a 447-yard Par-5 to finish your round. Your tee shot is hit from an elevated tee to a fairly wide fairway. The big spruce is a great target on the right side of the fairway. This Par-5 is reachable in two shots for some players, so birdie is a great possibility to finish your day.
