Individual Hole Analysis

Best Par 3:  From the tees on the left this hole features an intimidating tee shot over the water while the tee boxes on the right allows the player to hit a runner between the bunkers to the putting surface.

Water frames the left side of this par three

Best Par 4:  This dogleg left allows you to cut the corner and really put it close to the green, however anything that is too far left will be a lost ball.

You can cut a bunch off this hole by carrying the dogleg

Best Par 5:  The tee shot here features a large drop down to the fairway and continues to play downhill a three-leaf clover green surrounded by large pines.

The signature hole is also the best par five

Birdie Time:  The 321 yard uphill finishing hole is driveable and thus offers a great chance at birdie if you can avoid the four bunkers that protect this hole.

Bogey Beware:  At 466 yards, the 4th hole is easily the longest par four on the course and features a fairly narrow landing area of the tee. You'll be thrilled with a four here.
