|
| A slight dogleg right opens the course. Players who favor the left side of the fairway will be left with an iron into a deep green. Stay away from the right side to avoid the grove of trees and water. |

| They call it The Monster and rightly so. Aim to the left of this ample fairway because shots to the right will be swallowed by the lake running the entire length of the hole. Even the best and longest players lay up with their second shot. The approach to the green has a hundred yard carry over water to the large green, surrounded by trouble -- water in front, out-of-bounds over the back and sides. Put a couple extra balls in your pocket at the tee to save time on this long par 5, which is a good score for the hole. |

|
| The key to this medium-length hole is to hit the correct tier of the green with your tee shot. If you miss the correct level, the large green can easily become a 3 or 4-putt. Take an extra club to reach this elevated green. |

|
|
|
| Aim left of center on the fairway because bordering houses get very close to the course on the right. Out-of-bounds runs the length of this hole on both sides. The second shot can be deceiving, for the distance looks shorter than it is. Take one less club for the downhill approach to the green, though being too conservative will leave your shot short, requiring a tough up-hill chip. |

|
| With mounds and out-of-bounds on your left and trees and out-of-bounds to the right, an accurate drive on this straight Par 4 is imperative. And take an extra club when hitting the approach to this elevated green. |

|
| The large bunker in front of the green swallows up any ball that is hit short of the pin. Shots to the left of the trap will sometimes bounce onto the green, or bounce behind the trees that protect the green. Do you feel lucky? Take one less club to compensate for the downhill. |

|
|
|
| This dogleg right can be had if played correctly. A fairway wood or long iron to the middle of the fairway will give you a short iron to this hazard-laden green. The water keeps players honest on the right side, but a steep slope away from the green on the left makes hitting this green in regulation imperative. Remember: putts usually break toward the water. |

|
| Scores here can range from a 3 to one shot short of infinity! You must make a decision off the tee to either hit out to the big tree in the middle of the fairway, or cut the corner. An adventurous shot that clears to the left of the trees can leave a player with a mid-to-long iron into a large green. Bunkers on the front right and left side of the green keep players honest. |

|
| A welcome breather following No. 8, you might consider leaving your driver in the bag on this shortish hole. A long iron or fairway wood will put you in perfect shape to knock it close with a short iron. Take one less club on your approach, but don't be short. The large bunker protecting the front of the green could easily add a couple strokes to your score. |

Par 4 • Handicap 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
|
|
|
| This is a deceptively hard hole. Precise shot placement is a must because water runs the entire length of the fairway on the left and there is out-of-bounds right. A long iron or fairway wood is the safe play here, but if you're daring enough to hit a driver, you'll be left with a short iron into a multi-tiered green. |

|
|
|
| On this medium-length hole that is guarded by bunkers left and back, a missed-left shot that's not lucky enough to find the bunker could end up in the creek. A shot missed to the right that stays in bounds may find its way onto the green with the help of a steep, side-hill bounce. |

|
| Big Hitters Delight! A long drive will put you in position to eagle this hole. Take care to aim down the right side of the fairway on your second shot and the natural roll of the land will escort your ball toward the hole. If you par here, you will have lost strokes to the field. |

| This short, uphill hole is harder than it looks. Stay below the hole on your tee shot, if possible. Many players have walked off this green with a bogey after three-putting when they were forced to choose a downhill putt. |

|
|
|
| Three accurate shots are required to reach this dogleg right hole. A big drive will occasionally leave you with a temptingly loooong second shot to the elevated green. The safe play is an iron to the bottom of the hill. The lake in front of the green and out-of-bounds to the right makes even the biggest hitters think twice before going for the green in two. |

|
| You can see the entire length of this left-bending par four from the tee. Out-of-bounds runs the hole's length on both sides and the key is knocking the ball close to the pin on the second shot. The green is three to four clubs deep, so make sure you choose wisely when hitting your approach. Many players have been heard cussing to themselves as they leave this steep green. |

|
| Hitting the correct tier of the green is very important on this blind par three. A shot that looks great from the tee can be 50 feet away if not on the right level. Make sure you hit enough club to combat the uphill or you will walk from this hole with a big number. |

|
|
|
| With out-of-bounds right, a creek left, and water short, an accurate tee shot is a must on this true par four. Hitting the fairway will be the least of your worries, though. The second shot ÿ up a large hill to a two-tiered green ÿ is very intimidating. Players have disappeared without a trace after hitting into the bunker on the right. Make note of the flag color from the tee so you know on which level the pin resides. Par is a good score here. |

|
|
|
| This dogleg-left par four puts an emphasis on a strong short game. A drive short of the bend leaves a blind, downhill shot into a green that slopes away from the player. If you make it to the bend, you will be rewarded with a tricky short-iron shot. |
