Hole 1: A short par 5 gives you a chance to start with a birdie. A tee shot to the right side of the fairway sets up a medium length approach or layup. Add one club for a back left pin placement.

Hole 2: A sharp dog leg left with a tough bunker in front of the green. Make sure you hit your drive to the 150-yard marker. You can cheat left but watch the trees. Don’t go long on your approach.

Hole 3: A medium to long par 3 with lots of greenside sand. Try to leave your tee shot below the pin as a downhill putt can be quick.

Hole 4: Our Signature hole is known as one of the toughest Par 4’s around. Tee shots hit right or left are sure to find the trees. Check your distance to the rock bed that runs across the fairway. A wayward approach finds nothing but trouble, as the green is well guarded by water and bunkers. Par here is a great score.

Hole 5: Grip it and Rip It! Time to get one back with this par 5. An approach hit way right, however, will find the Paddle River. A miss to the left and its in the trees. The green is three clubs from front to back but plays at least one short down the hill.
6788098
Hole 6: One of the most interesting tee shots you’ll find. Not a hole to get greedy on. Find the fairway and move on. Your approach is to a well bunkered green that is two-tiered.
6248353
Hole 7: A back left pin plays about half a club longer. Once again a downhill putt is extremely quick. Avoid the front left bunker.

Hole 8: A 90-degree dog leg left where precise shot making is required. A tee shot to the 150-yard mark is a good start. The approach to an elevated green makes club selection tough. Hit a shot in the greenside bunkers and disaster is sure to follow.

Hole 9: A soft dog leg to the left with an approach downhill to a long, narrow green. A good drive should leave a short shot to the green. Club selection is important as a shot left and short could mean a monster putt.
4447512
Hole 10: A tough par 4 to start your back 9. A good line is the break between the poplar and spruce trees. There is more room to the left than it looks. Use caution if the pin is front left.

Hole 11: A good par 3 with a deep green. Club selection can mean the difference between Par or Bogey. Watch the pond on the left! It comes into play more than one might think.
3268064
Hole 12: An interesting par 5 that the long hitter may try to chase in two. A well placed tee shot just right of the fairway traps will leave a medium length layup and a short iron approach.
2943348
Hole 13: Look out for the Bear! This tee shot is all about accuracy. If possible, try to keep your tee shot to the left center. The green is a severely two-tiered green. With a front pin you are better to be short than long.
1135096
Hole 14: A great, short par 3 where the water lurks. This green is two clubs deep. Double check your yardage and trust your swing.
8082056_orig
Hole 15: Take a risk and have a short iron in, or lay up and you’ve got a medium length approach. Shots hit long into this green can go out of bounds. A fun “risk-reward” hole.
6203771_orig
Hole 16: This short par 5 will give you fits. A good drive in the middle of the fairway will give you the chance to go at the green in two. If you lay up, you better err to the left side. The pot bunkers in front of the green need to be avoided.
7894921_orig
Hole 17: The tough home stretch starts. A long, slightly uphill par 4 with a tiny green. Keep your tee shot left of the fairway bunker and you’ll have a chance at par.
2957521_orig
Hole 18: You’re almost there! Watch out for the water on the right. The approach shot to this deep green plays about half a club long.
