Hole by Hole

Hole 1

This opening par 4 is a slight dogleg right and is the only bunker-free hole on the course.  Your tee shot should favor the left side of the fairway, avoiding the trees on the right.  From there you will have an open approach to the green and a good chance to make par.

Hole 2

A magnificent par 5 featuring the Heublein Tower in the distance and a chance to go for the green in 2.  The safe play is to lay up on the left side of the fairway to avoid the large pond that fronts this green.  A short approach over the water will give you a birdie putt.

Hole 3

Off the tee favor the right side to avoid bunkers left and to set up an open approach shot to the green.  This green is protected by water left and bunkers short.  Don’t get caught admiring the natural beauty or this hole will get you!

Hole 4

This par 3 requires a well-struck shot to hit this narrow green that is protected by bunkers right and left.  Make note of the hole location because this green is over 50 yards long.

Hole 5

A short, picturesque par 4 features bunkers left and right off the tee.  Split the fairway to have an open approach at this shallow green.  You will have to be accurate on your approach with a stream and ravine to carry and bunkers guarding this green. 

Hole 6

Tee shot accuracy is a must here to hit this tight, tree lined fairway.  Favor the left side to give yourself the best angle to attack this green.  A deep bunker guards the front left so any misses should be right. 

Hole 7

This monster par 5 measures over 600 yards from the tips and is the #1 handicap hole.  Large trees line this fairway leading up to a green that is protected by a stream and ravine, which you must carry to get home safely.  This is truly a three-shot par 5. 

Hole 8

A beautiful par 3 that is all carry over wetlands.  This green sits diagonally from front left to back right off the tee and has deep greenside bunkers on the right.  There is a bail out area left here to be safe. 

Hole 9

A slight dogleg left par 4 will close out the front nine.  Favor the right side of this fairway to avoid the left fairway bunker.  Accuracy is a must approaching this green with deep bunkers swallowing anything short.

Hole 10

This unique par 4 is a dogleg left with a carry over water required to hit this wide fairway.  A huge bunker guards the left side and the Isamu Noguchi sculptures are overlooking the right side of this fairway to give you luck.  Another heavily bunkered green awaits any miss-hit approach shots. 

Hole 11

This scenic par 3 will make or break you.  A pond sits right of the green along with bunkers left and long.  A very accurate shot is required here to hit this green.  Any misses must be left or they will be wet!

Hole 12

Long three-shot par 5 emphasizes placement rather than length.  This hole doglegs slightly to the right and features a bunker that looks to be greenside, but is actually set back 62 yards from the green.  Don’t be deceived!

Hole 13

Finally a chance to get one back.  This short par 4 is drivable for the long hitter, but doesn’t come easy.  Bunkers guard the left side of the green and another bunker awaits on the right short of the green to gobble up any errant shots. 

Hole 14

Straight away par 4 that demands accuracy to split this tree-lined fairway.  Thread the needle and avoid the left fairway bunker to give yourself a good look at this green.  Don’t go long however on your approach, and if you miss, miss left to stay out of the right greenside bunker.

Hole 15

This par 3 is heavily guarded by deep bunkers short and left of the green with trees guarding the right and any long shots.  Choose the right club to avoid the trouble and leave with a par.

Hole 16

The hole plays slightly downhill off the tee but precision is required.  This fairway must be hit in order to have any chance of an open approach shot to the green.  Leave yourself about 150 yards for your second shot so you have a level lie because your next shot is all carry over wetlands. 

Hole 17

Placement is crucial on this dogleg left par 5.  Your second shot must be up the left side in order to get a look at this green, trees block out the entire right side.  Be very accurate however, because there is a huge drop-off left, long, and right of the green. 

Hole 18

This finishing hole is the longest par 4 on the course.  You must first carry the wetlands off the tee and then split the fairway bunkers left and right.  If that wasn’t enough you now must carry the pond and bunker that guard the front of the green.  Any misses here must be left to avoid all the trouble right.
