Hole #1
Par 4 Handicap: 9/7

Hole #2
Par 4 Handicap: 11/11
Hole Description
Another Short par 4. Be aware of the OB that runs along the right side of the fairway. Nice size bunker protects the front left of green. Tough green if the pin is on the back tier.
Hole #3
Par 3 Handicap: 17/15
Hole Description
A short uphill par 3. You will need the tee shot to carry completely over the creek to reach the green. Double check club selection off tee.
Hole #4
Par 4 Handicap: 3/5
Hole Description
A solid uphill par 4. Any tee shot to the left could be lost into the woods. 120 yards into the green is uphill and with this 2 tier green it could be difficult. You can easily find yourself making a 3 or 4 putt. Watch out for those hidden breaks.
Hole #5

Hole Description
A Downhill par 5 with unlevel lies in the fairway. Big green surrounded by a hill with a pond protecting the front right.
Hole #6

Hole Description
This uphill par 4 has its challenges. Any tee shot to the right might roll back off the hill into the fairway. When approaching the green, anything left could leave you a difficult chip back onto the green. With this undulated green and the right pin placement make this one the toughest on the course.
Hole #7
Par 5 Handicap: 7/3
Hole Description
This par 5 has some length and difficulty. Tee shot to the right might be lost and a big pond protecting the front right of the green. Once on the green, recommended reading your putt a few times as the green is quick and undulated.
Hole #8
Par 3 Handicap: 15/17
Hole Description
This hole is a short downhill par 3. The green is slightly protected off the tee by Jerry’s tree on the right. He bunker behind the green can help those stay in play if trying to attack the back pin.
Hole #9
Par 4 Handicap: 5/9
Hole Description
This par 4 is a slight dog leg left. Play smart and stay to the right of the bright color tree in fairway off the tee. When approaching this elevated green, choose the correct club or you could find yourself in trouble.
Hole #10
Par 4 Handicap: 10/8
Hole Description
Excellent Opening Hole to start your round. A more aggressive shot down the right side of the fairway will open the second shot to a green guarded by a bunker.
Hole #11
Par 5 Handicap: 10/8
Hole Description
The par 5 is slightly left off the tee then straight away to the green. Nice bunker front left of green. The 2 tier green can make it a challenge on the initial putt.
Hole #12
Par 4 Handicap: 13/13
Hole Description
This 90 degree dog leg left par 4 is short, but can be a risk reward hole. Big decision off the tee whether or not to go for the green or lay up.
Hole #13
Par 3 Handicap: 14/18
Hole Description
Every tee shot on this par 3 must carry over the ravine to land on this 3 tier green. This hole usually plays into the wind which should make the golfer reconsider his club selection.
Hole #14
Par 4 Handicap: 8/6
Hole Description
The dog leg left par 4 has a nice wide open tee shot. Danger to the left at the corner. Big green makes it easy to land safely and shoot a good score.
Hole #15
Par 4 Handicap: 6/10
Hole Description
This par 4 has one of the tightest tee shots on the course. Left or right of the tee will land you a penalty shot. The large can help those trying to save a good score on this hole.
Hole #16
Par 4 Handicap: 4/14
Hole Description
This is a straight away par 4. 150 yards in is uphill. Choose the right club off the tee as we have tall fescue to the left and OB on the right. Great hole to walk away with a par.
Hole #17
Par 4 Handicap: 12/16
Hole Description
A short dog leg left par 4. If you have a long drive, you can certainly cut the corner and go for the green. Safe shot is to lay up to the corner. The green has a creek in the front and hill behind it. Choose the correct club when approaching the green.
Hole #18
Par 5 Handicap: 12/16
Hole Description
This par 5 is slightly and reachable by 2. If trying to reach the green in 2 or just hitting onto the green, think twice of what club you might want to hit with as the green is protected all around with bunkers and the clubhouse is behind the green. A great finishing hole.
