  FRONT NINE
hole1

Hole #1

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 11          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 5

A good starting hole. A "risk/reward" dogleg left par 5 with an Eagle or Triple bogey possible. Only trouble off the tee is a line of trees running down the right side. Green surrounded by bunkers, the front left especially deep. Over the green is the real trouble; if the bunker doesn't stop the ball it will roll down a steep bank into thick woods.


hole2a
hole2b

Hole #2

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 9          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 13

Short par 4. From the Blue and White tee blocks requires a difficult blind tee shot to a fairway that angles right. Out of Bounds and a group of trees guard the left side and a line of trees running down the right make an errant tee shot difficult to recover from. The large green is guarded in the front by two bunkers with a small area in the middle to run the ball on. Two large mounds also guard the right side and can be used to deflect the ball on to the green. To the left and rear of the green a steep bank runs away from the player to an Out of Bounds area.
hole3 Hole #3

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 17          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 17

Par 3 can play from 130 yards to 170 yards. Small green guarded by a bunker on the left and a large pine tree on the right. The green is elevated and two tiered with banks running away from the player to the right and rear. Behind the green is a line of trees.
hole4

Hole #4

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 13          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 7

A short par 5 for the long hitters of 445 yards, a 3 shot hole for the rest. Tree lines right and left side and a fairway bunker on the right at about 230 yards from the tee. After the fairway bunker the fairway drops into a valley before rising sharply to an elevated green. A deep bunker on the right and a steep bank running away on the left fronts the green. An errant shot to the left could easily end up at the bottom of the bank requiring a 40 yard shot back up over two large pines.


hole5

Hole #5

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 3          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 1

A dogleg right par 4 of medium difficulty. It is critical to find the fairway off the tee, with a tree lined right side and thick rough on the left. The elevated green is guarded on the left by a deep bunker. A low running shot is playable here.
hole6

Hole #6

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 1          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 3

A dogleg left par 4 that plays as the most difficult on the course. Another difficult tee shot to a fairway that angles left. Trouble on both sides with Out of Bounds left and wooded area right. Uphill 2nd shot to a green with bunkers in front, left and rear. The green slopes off to the right and can create many difficult pin placements.
hole7a hole7b

Hole #7

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 7           Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 9

A short, dogleg right, uphill par 4. Tee shot usually requires a fairway wood or long iron laying up to a flat area about 100 yards from the green. There is a pond on the right that is not visible from the tee and a large pine tree left. From the flat area, the 2nd shot is sharply uphill to a green with a false front and banks sloping away on the right and rear.
hole8

Hole #8

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 15          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 15

A downhill Par 3 from 150 yards to 200 yards. As the highest point on the golf course, the tee provides a nice view of surrounding hills and mountains. The large green has steep banks sloping away on the right, left, and rear. When the wind blows the tee shot can be difficult
hole9a

Hole #9hole9b

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 5          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 11

A downhill par 4. The length varies from 399 yards from the blue tees to 290 yards from the front tees. A difficult tee shot, as the fairway slopes from left to right, and scattered trees and thick rough are awaiting the errant drive. Out of Bounds runs down the left side of the hole and tight to the left side of the green. The elevated green slopes extremely from left to right and anything above the hole is a tough two putt.

  BACK NINE
hole10a

Hole #10hole10b

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 8          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 12

This long par 3 is a difficult start to the back 9. Playing uphill, the length varies from 160 yards to 210 yards. Bunkers right and left guard the green, with Out of Bounds behind the green. A small berm runs around the back of the green and can create some interesting shots. 

hole11

Hole #11

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 10          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 4

A straight par 5 with a tree line all the way down the left side with trees and Out of Bounds on the right. A fairway bunker on the left side lies at 230 yards from the blue tees. This hole can be reached in two shots by the longer hitters, but most take three to get there. The approach into the green is flanked by bunkers right and left and has a deceiving rise in the fairway short of the green. A small green has banks running away on the right, left and to the rear. If hit too far over the green the player encounters an Out of Bounds area.
hole12

Hole #12

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 16          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 8

Once again, trees line both sides of this par 4 hole all the way to the green. The tee shot must avoid a fairway bunker on the right side. Shallow bunkers surround the green on three sides and a berm runs along the back of the green.
hole13

Hole #13

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 18          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 18

This short par 3 has a unique feature as a berm surrounds the entire green and bunkers appear as a "moat" around a castle. This hole has many names such as the "saucer" or "doughnut". Any tee shot that does not find the small green surface has a difficult recovery shot. A small entranceway, devoid of bunkers and berm, provide a way to bounce the ball onto the green for those with a great aim or a lucky shot.
hole14

Hole #14

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 2          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 6

A long, dogleg right par 4 for the men, plays as a par 5 for the ladies. Tree lines once more go down both sides and turn to forest on the left shortly after the fairway doglegs. A bunker right, thick rough left, and a steep bank that runs away to the rear guard the approach into the small, elevated green.
hole15

Hole #15

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 12          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 10

The best short par 4 on the course requires an iron or fairway wood off the tee to a narrow tree lined fairway. A large pine tree blocks the view to the green if a player is too far left. On the right, lies a fairway bunker and Out of Bounds. From 100 yards out, the fairway narrows more and drops gradually to a green guarded by a bunker on the left. Shots hit over or to the right of the green, roll down a steep bank to a large pond that is not visible except for the hazard stakes.
hole16

Hole #16

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 6          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 2

A medium length par 5. A difficult tee shot to a crowned fairway that slopes into thick rough on both sides. Trees line both sides of this hole from tee to green. Out of Bounds runs down the right side. Only the longer hitters have a chance to reach this green in two, as it is normally a three shot hole. The green is protected in front and rear by bunkers.
hole17

Hole #17

Blue/White Handicap Hole: 14          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 14

This short, uphill par 4 can be reached from the tee with a big drive that can run up the steep bank in front of the green. The normal tee shot requires a carry over a pond to a fairway guarded on both sides by bunkers. The approach shot can be difficult as a small lower tier of the green acts as a false front. To the left of the green a bank drops sharply making a recovery shot difficult. When putting, the green slopes from back to front making speed a priority.
hole18a Hole #18

Blue/White Handicap Hole:  4          Red/Gold Handicap Hole: 16

A good finishing par 4 that can vary in length from 305 yards to 410 yards. From the back tee,hole18b the player has to navigate the ball through a narrow chute of trees to a fairway lined on the left by trees and the right by trees and Out of Bounds. This hole provides a nice view of the clubhouse, where people can sit and watch the 18th green. The green is guarded on the left by a pond and to the rear a bank drops sharply away to thick rough. Players are given a break here as the fairway runs around to the right of the green allowing balls to roll down a slope and onto the green.
