Hole 4 | Par 5
A thinking man’s par five, which is reachable in two for big hitters. Avoid fairway bunker off the tee on right. Second shot is usually played short of the creek which crosses the fairway. The right side is preferred angle into the green whose subtle undulations make it one of the more difficult to read on the course.

Hole 7 | Par 4

| Green | 296 |

| Gold | 447 |
| White | 424 |
| Green | 359 |
| Silver | 304 |
Hole 10 | Par 4
On this short par four, it is more than tempting to hit a driver. Instead, choose a club that will leave 100-125 yards for the downhill approach. A large green makes it difficult to get close.

| Silver | 282 |
Hole 13 | Par 5
It is imperative to hit the fairway on this long par five. Big hitters should be cautious of hitting through the fairway. Ideally, the second shot should be played down the left side to avoid numerous fairway bunkers and set up a short iron approach to this small green.
| Black | 626 |
| Gold | 597 |
| White | 546 |
| Green | 484 |
| Silver | 456 |

| White | 288 |
| Green | 258 |

| Green | 343 |

Hole 18 | Par 5
Our signature hole provides a dramatic finish. Favor right side of fairway to avoid creek running down left side, which crosses the fairway. On the second shot, the left side is preferred to avoid the creek and wetland right. This will set up a short pitch to a tricky green.
