Elevated tee from Gold, first bunker on right is 244yd from Center Green (CG) - 222yd from Gold tees. End of bunker on the right is 180yd from CG. Slightly inclined fairway and green. 30yd deep green angles right. Front 3yd is false. Anything just over front bunker (right edge of green) releases long and left  over the top. Front 50% slopes gently to the front. Back 40% slopes gently to the back. Mound at 50% depth on the left edge moves to the back.

Fairway bunker begins at 279yd from CG (237yd from Gold tees) and ends at 244yd CG (272yd from Gold tees). Fairway bends hard right just after the bunker. On the drive, the left side of the bunker gives a better angle to the fairway for the second shot. Second shot sees trees on the left of the fairway protecting the green. Approach to a 30yd deep green angling almost directly left. All of the green has a gentle slope to the front (viewed almost as to the right from over 100yd out from CG). Slight mound at 80% depth crowns the back left corner of the green.

Bunker on the left begins at 180yd from CG. Fairway curls to the left. First grass mound in the bunker is 135yd from CG (248yd from Gold tees). 145yd in has slant on right edge of fairway bringing balls back toward center. Long hitters must hug the bunker or go just over the inside edge to prevent going through the fairway with a driver. 34yd deep green angles hard left. Front 75% slopes to the front. Ridge on the right at 45% depth slopes to the front. Ridge on the right at 45% depth slopes to the front or releases left over the top. Back 40%  of the green slopes left and the back left corner slopes moderately to the fringe.

Elevated tees may alter club selection. Normal breeze is against the golfer. 35yd deep green all has gentle slope to the front. Deep swale just right of the green's midline attracts balls and releases long right at 40% depth. That swale corners toward the back and releases front left at 60-80% depth and continues as a ridge toward the back of the green from 80-100% depth that releases left.

Mostly uphill fairway curls right. Quick decline in fairway begins at 237yd from CG and then quickly inclines from 209-206yd from CG. Right of fairway is littered with mounds and bunkers and patience is vital to playing to center fairway - as left of the fairway has a long bunker ending 272yd from the Gold tees. Layup shots should be more than 80yd from CG for best approach. 37yd deep green has a ridge on the right edge at 10% depth that releases left or long over the top.

Driver is risky from tee. Over the right bunker has short distance to light rough and then water hazard. Center fairway from tees requires 226yd of carry from the Gold tees. Wide creek runs in front and around the green. 35yd deep green all slopes to the front.  Minor mound at 50-70% depth on the right edge releases left or long over the top. Left 1/2 of the green slopes slightly to the left.

Fairway slants left to right. Long drives (over 265yd from Gold tees) should play to the right half of the fairway, shorter drives to the left half. Trees to the left 75yd and 30yd shy of the green narrow the approach shot. 33yd deep green angles right. Front 50% slopes to the front left. The back 50% slopes to the back right.

Tight driving area. Sycamore trees guard left side of the fairway and bunkers to the right. First bunker on the right begins at 175yd from CG (244yd from Gold tees). Approach to an elevated and well-protected, 29yd deep green (40yd wide). Green is only ~12yd deep behind the left bunker. Ridge at green's midline slopes hard right. All of the green has a slight slope right. Bunker resides just over the green's midline.

Tee shot to a fairway that sharply narrows beginning at the water hazard (right) at 180yd from CG (121yd from Gold tees) - to a gap only 28yd wide. Drives just shy of the narrowest portion leave ~155yd to CG. Approach to a 39yd deep green. Large ridge on the left from front of green to 30% depth releases right or slightly long over the top. Center green on the left 1/2 slopes left. Back 50% of the green has very gentle slope to the front.

  35yd deep green. Front 5% slopes to the front. Left 1/2 of the green slopes moderately right. Right 1/2 of the green slopes left (moderately in front 50%). All of the green slopes gently to the front. A large bunker with 4ft bank wraps the back of the green.

To carry the center of the bunker requires 277yd from the Blue tees (center of the bunker is 238yd from CG). The green is protected in the front and left by a creek, so most will opt for a second shot to ~75yd from CG to keep shy of the large tree viewed left of the green, Approach to a 29yd deep green that is 33yd wide and angles to the left. Over the green is a 4ft bank to a bunker. All of the green slopes to the front. Mound on the right at 25% depth releases left and long over the top. Right edge at 80% also releases gently left.

Left half of the fairway plays best as right half has gentle slant to the right and is likely to be blocked on approach by trees at 80yd from CG. Fairway begins decline at 108yd from CG and a creek crosses in the front of the green at 45yd from CG. Approach to a shallow (25yd deep) green that is 31yd wide. 13ft deep bunker protects the front/center of the green. Wide ridge just over the bunker runs through the green's midline and separates left and right sides. Right 2/3 of the green slopes to the front right. Left 1/3 of the green slopes mostly to the front left except the far left edge which slopes right.

Winding creek crosses the fairway four times on this hole. Tee from Blue tees goes over the first creek (less than 200yd out) and plays at the lone center tree short of the second creek crossing at 312yd from the tee box (192yd from CG). Second shot lays up between 158yd from CG and 103yd from CG or goes for the green in two. Approach to a 63yd deep green that is from 13-18yd wide at various points and angles right. Two primary ridges make the center of the green (30-65% depth) a "table-top" green. Ridge at 30% has heavy slope to the front. Ridge snaking across green at 65% releases hard long. Back left corner of the green slopes heavily to the front right.

Fairway bends left and long hitters must consider  bunkers through fairway on right edge (begin at 150yd from CG and is 263 yards from Blue tees) or the trees on the left (at 185yd from CG or 218yd from Blue tees). Just shy of the bunkers leaves 155yd to CG. Approach to a 31yd deep green that is 23yd wide and angles left. Front 70% has gentle slope to the front and funnels to the center (except minor depression at 45% depth on the right edge).
