Hole 1

A properly placed tee shot to the left side of the fairway will leave a short iron approach into the green. Beware of the fairway bunkers on the right side, as they do come into play from the tee box.

Hole 2

A demanding hole requiring an accurate mid to long iron shot into a well-guarded green. The conservative play is to aim for the front-left portion of the green allowing the terrain to feed the ball toward the center.

Hole 3

Longer hitters may go for this green in two but will be hitting into a small, elevated target. Others may lay-up on the left side of the fairway at the bottom of the hill, leaving a comfortable short iron shot into the green.

Hole 4

The key here is taking the left side out of play with a well placed tee ball down the right side. A more aggressive line down the left provides a risk which far outweighs the reward.

Hole 5

Aiming for the center or left side of the green is the smart play. Beware of the hazard and bunker that guard the right side of this green. Better scores will come from shots hit to the left side of this hole.

Hole 1

A narrow, undulated green is protected by bunkers on both sides. An approach played from the left side of the fairway provides the best opportunity to score.

Hole 2

This par five requires a drive and approach favoring the right side to avoid a hazard running on the left. A large green will entice the longer hitter, but the bunkers surrounding can lead to bigger problems.

Hole 3

Accuracy from the tee is a priority on this tight par four. Tee shots should favor the left center of the fairway. A large, sloped green will leave putts breaking from every direction.

Hole 4

The most difficult hole on the front nine, this hole requires complete precision off the tee. A hazard running on the left and OB on the right make this hole visually intimidating. A well placed tee ball leaves a mid-iron into a reasonably flat green.

Hole 5

A par three where short is not a bad miss. With bunkers right and a steep embankment left, this tee shot demands precision into likely the smallest green on the course. Par is a great score here.

Hole 6

Tee shots should favor the left center of this fairway, leaving a mid-iron into a large green. A multi-tiered green makes an accurate approach a must for the best chance at birdie.
