Hole 1
1 Par 4
Blue tees: 308 yards
White tees: 302 yards
Gold tees: 288 yards
Red tees: 288 yards
Description
The ideal drive will be long enough to get around the corner of the dogleg to set up an angle to attack this small and undulating green. Keep approach shots below the hole for the best chance to make a par, or even an opening birdie.
Hole 2
2 Par 4
Blue tees: 365 yards
White tees: 355 yards
Gold tees: 320 yards
Red tees: 320 yards
Description
Avoid the trees left and right off the tee, and watch out for the punishing fairway bunker. The green is this hole’s best defense as an elevated ridge runs across the center of the green. Try to stay on the same side of the ridge as the pin or else you risk three putting.
Hole 3
3 Par 4
Blue tees: 328 yards
White tees: 318 yards
Gold tees: 307 yards
Red tees: 307 yards
Description
A short par 4 demanding precision to avoid trouble left and right off the tee. The green is well protected by runoffs and a pair of bunkers. Several interesting pin positions will dictate approach shot strategy.
Hole 4
4 Par 3
Blue tees: 165 yards
White tees: 147 yards
Gold tees: 115 yards
Red tees: 115 yards
Description
Carry the front greenside bunker with your tee shot on this par 3 and then navigate the slopes around the green to set yourself up with a chance to make par. Get on the wrong side of the slopes and it’s no easy two-putt or up-and-down.
Hole 5
5 Par 4
Blue tees: 418 yards
White tees: 415 yards
Gold tees: 384 yards
Red tees: 384 yards
Description
The elevated tee shot means you can swing away to gain a few extra yards, a necessity on this long and demanding hole. Thread your approach shot between two greenside bunkers and try to stay below the hole on this large green which slopes steeply from front to back.
Hole 6
6 Par 4
Blue tees: 404 yards
White tees: 400 yards
Gold tees: 362 yards
Red tees: 354 yards
Description
Keep your tee shot left of the signature tree on the right-hand side of the fairway to set up a good angle of approach on this difficult par 4. This green is less demanding than its predecessor, meaning a good approach could set up a makeable putt.
Hole 7
7 Par 3
Blue tees: 157 yards
White tees: 142 yards
Gold tees: 115 yards
Red tees: 115 yards
Description
A medium-length par 3 with an elevated green surrounded by steep slopes and protected by a trio of bunkers. Hit the green and you may have a chance at a birdie, or miss the green and face a tricky up and down.
Hole 8
8 Par 4
Blue tees: 293 yards
White tees: 294 yards
Gold tees: 248 yards
Red tees: 248 yards
Description
The tee shot on this sharp dogleg right par 4 needs to be fit in between a line of trees left and woods on the right. The green is well-protected by a flashed-up bunker on the right and a steep runoff left. Don’t let the yardage fool you, par here will be well earned.
Hole 9
9 Par 3
Blue tees: 116 yards
White tees: 105 yards
Gold tees: 100 yards
Red tees: 100 yards
Description
Return home on the front nine with this short par 3 back to the clubhouse. A precise wedge shot could lead to a makeable birdie putt, but two bunkers left of the green wait to gobble up shots played away from the hazard on the right.
Hole 10
10 Par 3
Blue tees: 214 yards
White tees: 202 yards
Gold tees: 162 yards
Red tees: 115 yards
Description
An elevated tee on this long par 3 helps it play a bit shorter than its distance. Avoid the bunkers left and make sure any miss is short or right to set up a good angle to make a hard-fought par.
Hole 11
11 Par 5
Blue tees: 530 yards
White tees: 490 yards
Gold tees: 400 yards
Red tees: 400 yards
Description
The first par 5 on the course is reachable in two for big hitters. Shorter hitters should be mindful to keep second shots out to the right to set up a good angle to attack the green, which slopes from back-left to front-right. Miss this green long and you will very likely need three (or more) shots to hole out.
Hole 12
12 Par 4
Blue tees: 288 yards
White tees: 280 yards
Gold tees: 265 yards
Red tees: 265 yards
Description
A short dogleg-right par 4 with bunkers and trees up the right hand side. A safe drive left leaves a good angle to attack the green, while an aggressive drive right brings trouble into play with the reward of a much shorter approach. Approach shots left pin-high on this long, narrow, green will leave a makeable putt.
Hole 13
13 Par 4
Blue tees: 402 yards
White tees: 387 yards
Gold tees: 305 yards
Red tees: 305 yards
Description
This long par 4 rewards placement off the tee. Drives left leave a tough approach over a corner of OB, while drives right, close to the native grass area, leave a good angle to attack this large, flat green. The green is protected by runoffs right and long.
Hole 14
14 Par 5
Blue tees: 443 yards
White tees: 436 yards
Gold tees: 337 yards
Red tees: 320 yards
Description
A reachable dogleg-right par 5 with OB left off the tee, a signature tree on the right-hand side of the fairway, and long native grass to the right. Navigate the trouble off the tee to set up a good birdie (or eagle) opportunity, assuming you keep the ball below the hole on this steep back-to-front sloping green.
Hole 15
15 Par 4
Blue tees: 346 yards
White tees: 287 yards
Gold tees: 275 yards
Red tees: 216 yards
Description
This short par 4 features trouble left and right off the tee. Thread a tee shot into the fairway, between the protecting bunkers, and this becomes a scoring hole. Once again, aim to keep the ball below the hole when approaching the green.
Hole 16
16 Par 3
Blue tees: 179 yards
White tees: 155 yards
Gold tees: 145 yards
Red tees: 136 yards
Description
A new back tee box turns this par 3 into a beast of a hole at 230 yards, but the hole can play as short as 140 yards from other tees. Avoid the bunker right and prepare to test your short game on and around this large, sloping green.
Hole 17
17 Par 4
Blue tees: 376 yards
White tees: 365 yards
Gold tees: 297 yards
Red tees: 297 yards
Description
A dogleg-left par 4 around trees, this tough two-shotter requires either a long drive down the middle or a drive up the right, close to the fairway bunkers, to set up an angle to approach the green. Run-up shots often do well here as missing long or left of this green is instant trouble.
Hole 18
18 Par 4
Blue tees: 357 yards
White tees: 280 yards
Gold tees: 253 yards
Red tees: 222 yards
Description
This brute of a finishing hole can play very long from the back tee, but is more manageable from the forward tees. An aggressive line left off the tee rewards with a shorter approach shot up the severely elevated green. A less aggressive drive to the right provides a good angle, but a longer approach shot. A par here, from any tee, is a great score.
