Hole by Hole

Detailed guide of our walkable Golf Course

HOLE 1: 

401-yard, Par 4. With water up the entire left side of this opening hole, finding the fairway off the tee is a must. A nice drive will not reach the fairway bunker. Any approach shot in the middle of the green will leave a great opportunity to escape without making a blemish on the scorecard.

HOLE 2:

364-yard, Par 4. Following the course’s continuing theme, water is again in play off the left side of the fairway. Longer players can challenge the fairway bunker to leave a short approach shot while shorter hitters should just aim right down the fat of the fairway. This difficult short par 4 requires accuracy throughout.

HOLE 3:

127-yard, Par 3. The shortest hole is also the easiest hole on the course, but do not be fooled. The two bunkers that guard the green will leave difficult shots leaving the golfer to scramble to make par.

HOLE 4:

592-yard, Par 5.  This challenging dogleg right requires a good tee shot to an elevated fairway. From there, players can decide how much of the cross-section bunker they wish to avoid. Avoiding the greenside bunker is recommended when approaching the green.

HOLE 5:

152-yard, Par 3. This picturesque par 3 requires a force carry over water with a friendly bailout area to the right. Anything short and left of this green will lead to a trip to the drop zone.

HOLE 6:

421-yard, Par 4. Players on this par 4 will find a straightforward approach if they can avoid the fairway bunker off the tee. This deep fairway bunker is a recipe for disaster. This green sits in a slight bowl which will help funnel balls towards the putting surface.

HOLE 7:

414-yard, Par 4. This difficult par 4 requires an accurate tee shot. Anything besides the fairway will lead to a longer approach to a well-protected green. Par on this hole is a great score.

HOLE 8:

190-yard, Par 3. This long par 3 forces players to favor the right side. Anything left of the green will lead to penalty strokes. This green slopes from front to back leaving blind tee shots off the tee.

HOLE 9:

589-yard, Par 5. This hole might look deceiving off the tee, but a straight drive will put the player in excellent shape. Longer hitters will have to weigh the risk-reward of taking the green on. Shorter hitters should lay up which will lead to an easier third shot with an optimum angle to the hole.

HOLE 10:

310-yard, Par 4. As players make the turn, they will find a great chance to get their round back on track with this short par 4.  While on the tee, players will see that trouble lurks left with water along the entire length of the fairway. A heavily guarded green requires a precise approach.

HOLE 11:

197-yard, Par 3. This long par 3 provides plenty of challenges with not much space to miss. Finding the fairway short of the green will be your best area to approach the green from. 

HOLE 12:

516-yard, Par 5. Water once again hugs the entire left side of the hole. A solid tee shot will lead to a big decision on the second shot. Try to carry the water or bail out right and leave a pesky approach shot over the only greenside bunker.

HOLE 13:

368-yard, Par 4. Strategically placed fairway bunkers will lead to a couple of options off the tee. Longer hitters could take on the water to the left while shorter hitters could hit right to the wider part of the fairway. This three-tiered green proves a great test for those with stellar short games.

HOLE 14:

219-yard, Par 3. This charming hole is the longest Par 3 on the course. Missing short, left will leave players with a decent approach angle to this larger green. Any shots on the putting surface are considered “above par”.

HOLE 15: 

443-yard, Par 4. This tight fairway is very difficult to hit off the tee. Hitting tee shots left will leave either a nasty lie or in the water. Hitting tee shots right will lead to tree trouble with a long distance still to the hole. The green slopes from back to front. Any second shot on the green will be considered great. 

HOLE 16:

607-yard, Par 5. Hitting a solid shot to a wide-open fairway is a good start. The second shot should be a lay-up to a comfortable yardage. Avoiding the water to the left will leave the player a good chance to make par or even birdie. 

HOLE 17:

422-yard, Par 4. The tee shot is the most daunting part of this pesky par 4. Finding the larger part of the fairway will leave a longer shot to the green. Taking on the water is where disaster may strike. The lucky ones will have a short shot to the green and can escape the hole without a blemish.  

HOLE 18:

425-yard, Par 4. For this finishing hole, water lines the entire left side of the fairway. Also, tee shots hit right will have to contend with tree trouble to get the ball on the green. Shots hit into the right greenside bunker will prove a true test to the best of players.
