Hole by Hole
Hole 1
PAR 4 | 398 YRDS
Description
Hole 2
PAR 4 | 401 YRDS
Description
Uphill with a slight dogleg right. Fairway slopes right→left; tee shot right side avoids left rough, but too far right risks pine trees or being blocked by a maple before green. Green is two-tiered.
Hole 3
PAR 4 | 308 YRDS
Description
Easiest par-4 on front nine for big hitters: ideal drive 220–260 yd may reach green (if avoiding left maple tree and right bunker). More conservative: safer short-iron after tee. Green has false front, slopes back→front.
Hole 4
PAR 4 | 206 YRDS
Description
Flat, relatively straightforward longish par-3. Bunker on left front of green; two mounds with heavy rough right. Front-left green slopes right→left; rest is flat or slopes gently back→front.
Hole 5
PAR 5 | 472 YRDS
Description
First par-5: fairway narrow with trees and pond on right, forest & hillside left. Two bunkers right just before green. Green has two tiers, slopes back→front (and slightly left→right depending on pin).
Hole 6
PAR 4 | 351 YRDS
Description
Fairway perched on ridge with steep slopes both sides. Straight tee shot is crucial. Fairway + green slope right→left. Front-left pin placement tricky — aggressive putts might run off.
Hole 7
PAR 3 | 157 YRDS
Description
Par-3 guarded by two bunkers in front, one left, one just off back of green. High shot to middle of green safest; landing short and running up between front bunkers is riskier. Pin back-right easiest; left-front bunkered pin hardest.
Hole 8
PAR 4 | 374 YRDS
Description
Challenging drive hole: landing area narrow. Right side woods border, left might kick into rough/fescue. Approach tricky: relatively small green, downhill approach, and green looks flatter than it is. Conventional wisdom: “straight on eight.”
Hole 9
PAR 4 | 405 YRDS
Description
Fairway slopes gently uphill; prevailing wind often in face. Only long hitters can reach in two. Green is two-tiered, slopes back→front; bunkers both sides. From lower section & back pin you’ll need a strong putt; from upper & front pin — ride over ridge carefully or risk rolling off.
Hole 10
PAR 5 | 527 YRDS
Description
Long par-5, uphill all the way. Fairway wide early, narrows near green. Green guarded by a bunker front-right; green slopes back→front and right→left. Downhill putts are hard.
Hole 11
PAR 4 | 378 YRDS
Description
Fairway is wide and forgiving; visible from tee to green. One fairway bunker right ~140–150 yd out. But green is elevated with steep run-off: short shot rolls back, long leaves a downhill putt — especially tough with back-right pin.
Hole 12
PAR 4 | 323 YRDS
Description
From back tees — blind tee shot to elevated fairway; forward tees give view. Fairway ends ~90 yds from middle of green; rough begins there. Second shot: avoid running through fairway. Approach to elevated green — aim to middle-right. Stay below pin — a putt from above often rolls past.
Hole 13
PAR 3 | 182 YRDS
Description
Most difficult of par-3s: tee shot is blind; green significantly elevated; plays 1-2 clubs longer than yardage. Steep bunker on right catches many errant shots. Straight middle shot — even if short — gives good up-and-down chance.
Hole 14
PAR 4 | 443 YRDS
Description
Tee at highest point on course — beautiful scenic view. Downhill fairway gives roll, but trouble both sides. Green slopes uphill front→back and left→right. This is #2 handicap hole — tough for par.
Hole 15
PAR 5 | 477 YRDS
Description
Last par-5. Fairway wide off tee, but narrows toward end. Slight dogleg left before green. Bunker just short-left of green rarely matters; more danger is bunker at dogleg for overly aggressive second shot. Green elevated; slopes back→front and left→right.
Hole 16
PAR 3 | 144 YRDS
Description
Shortest hole; nicely framed with long views of the mountains. Elevation drop makes hole play shorter. Deep front-right bunker guards green; back of green slopes off steep hill — long shot may roll off. High shot landing middle of green gives best birdie chance.
Hole 17
PAR 4 | 362 YRDS
Description
Easiest par-4 from yardage, but bunkers both right and left of green make approach tricky. Green slopes front→back and right→left. Approach must be straight or high — bouncing or off-line shots usually run off or into bunkers.
Hole 18
PAR 4 | 407 YRDS
Description
Finishing hole with newly rebuilt green offering many pin options. Fairway bunker on left — even a center tee shot risks being pulled left. Green is subtle with many subtle breaks; approach left side may get kicked into heavy rough or hazard.
