Par 5 HCP 11 • 440 |
Par 5 HCP 2 • 553 • 575 |

Par 3 HCP 11 • 149 |
Par 3 HCP 17 • 169 • 183 |

Par 4 HCP 6 • 350 • 430 |
Hole No. 6
Pro-Tips
Big ravine off the tee will visually intimidate some players. After a solid tee shot, you must leave yourself an uphill putt or a 3 putt is almost a guarantee.

Par 4 HCP 10 • 355 • 391 |
Hole No. 7
Pro-Tips
Big dogleg right! An aggressive tee shot over the trees will leave just a wedge to the green. Risk/Reward hole.

Back Nine
Hole No. 10

Par 4

Par 4 HCP 11 • 332 • 345 |
Hole No. 11
Pro-Tips
The #3 handicap hole, but usually plays slightly downwind. A draw off the tee will set you up for a nice look at the green. The approach shot plays shorter, so club down and avoid going long.

Par 4
|
Par 4 HCP 3 • 424 • 438 |
Hole No. 12
Pro-Tips
Third of the 4 par 3’s on the course, wind direction and flag placement are always important on this slightly uphill hole with a deep green. Par is always a good score here.

Par 3 HCP 15 • 156 • 188 |
Hole No. 13
Pro-Tips
The first par 5 on the back nine. Long hitters will challenge fairway bunkers and with a good drive, try to reach in 2. If not going for it, avoid the fairway bunkers and lay up to a good yardage. Great chance to get 1 back.
| Par 5 HCP 6 • 284 • 370 |

Par 5 HCP 5 • 524 • 542 |

Par 4
|
Par 4 HCP 17 • 355 • 379 |
Hole No. 16

Par 5
|
Par 5 HCP 9 • 474 • 487 |
