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. |

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. |

Right bunker begins at 178yd from CG (265yd out from the Blue tees) Left
half of the fairway plays best. Approach to a 32yd deep green that is only
17yd wide. Right of the green is a steep bank to bunker. All of the green
slopes to the front. Middle of the green (40-60% depth) on the left is
depressed and slopes off to the fringe. Right edge at 60% releases slightly

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

the back left fringe. |
