Bending fairway right. From the Black tees, 235 reaches the left bunker (99-92yd from CG). Best play is at the bunker with a heavy fade. Creek runs all along the right edge of the fairway to the green. At center green, the depth is only 14yd. A very heavy crown is at center green with heavy slope outwards. Left of green is hazard, right and over the green kicks to OB (less than 7yd).

n/a Dogleg left. From the Black tees, ~230yd will carry the bunkers just beyond the trees - but balls hit there w/o a heavy draw will go through the fairway to light rough and trees. Safer shot is at the bunker just through the right side of the fairway (may need to club down) leaving 104-121yd approach from CG. Downhill approach to a 21yd deep green. After the bend, the fairway declines sharply from 100-35yd CG. Green is 28yd wide. Right 4/5 of the green slopes left. Back 40% also slopes to the back. Left 1/4 has very gentle slope to the right.

The incline off the tees slants right up the hill to 263yd from CG and then begins a rolling decline with slant left. Drives played over the hill should play to the right half. With fairway's slant left, second shots should be played to the right 1/2 of the fairway as well to avoid being blocked by the trees left of the fairway (almost in front of the green from center fairway) just shy of the green. Last 50yd in is uphill. Approach to a 25yd deep green that slopes gently left or right from the midline.
