Black 413 Gold 390 Green 365 |
 |
 |

First couple of holes have greens surrounded by trees and are usually softer and a bit slower than the rest. Tee One - Drive to a declining fairway that bends right at 85yd from Center green (CG). Drives kept to left side of fairway play well. Approach to 23yd deep, oval-shaped green. Front left releases left. Back 2/3 of green slopes to the back. |
| #2 Par 4 HC - 17 |
Black 371 Gold 348 Green 339 |
 |
 |
 |
Straight-away drive. Misses right of fairway will be aided by the mounds' slants left. Approach to 24yd deep, oval green. Front 15% slopes gently to the front. Very slight ridge in green's midline on back 15% releases left or right from center. |
|
#3 Par 4 HC - 3 |
Black 436 Gold 415 Green 398 |

Tee shots should go over the small tree on the left (next to cart path). Fairway is angled to the left. Approach to 32yd deep green that also angles to the left. green is crowned at left center to right center and all of the green moves to the fringe from the crown (gentle slope). |

Black 410 Gold 392 Green 359 |

Fairway elbows left at 145yd from CG (location of pampas grass on left edge of fairway). Long hitters must hug inside of left fairway to avoid running through the fairway. Approach to 23yd deep green that angles to the left. A small crown is in the midline at 45% depth and releases slightly right. |
|
#5 Par 5 HC - 1 |
Black 540 Gold 518 Green 494 |
 |
 |
 |
Par 5 - End of declining fairway before the first of two ravines - with only light rough - is 292yd from the Gold tees. Second shot is shy of second "ravine" of light rough. Long-knockers can find little danger in the ravine other than light rough and a short shot to an elevated green. Approach to a narrow, 23yd deep green that has three minor crowns at front/center, back/left, and back/right that shape the green. |

#6 Par 3 HC - 15 |
Black 174 Gold 157 Green 112 |

Black 387 Gold 365 Green 342 |

#8 Par 3 HC - 13 |
Black 201 Gold 187 Green 167 |

|
#9 Par 5 HC - 7 |
Black 539 Gold 518 Green 497 |

Two crossing water hazards give challenge to the hole. Drives do not want to get too close to the second as the height of the small trees will come into play. Approach to 29yd deep green. Front 15% has gentle slope to the front. Mound on back right corner slopes left and long off midline of the green - or to the front on the right 1/4 of the green. |

#10 Par 5 HC - 14 |
Black 514 Gold 500 Green 457 |

Black 418 Gold 386 Green 364 |
 |
 |
 |
Most golfers will want to use an iron off the tee, as the elevated tees make a driver or 3-wood dangerous to going through the fairway. Fairway yardage is all the golfer has to gauge green distance - blind shot due to the 35 yards of hazard brush between fairway and green area (10 yards of light rough prior to front of green). 32yd deep green. All of right half slopes moderately to the front/right except the back 10%. Left half of green slopes to front. |
