Pro Tips
Two large swales make this short par 4 an excellent test of accuracy. From the tee, left and right bunkers border the first swale. In front of the green, a deep second swale makes the hole look deceptively short, making club selection important.

Gold Tee 472
White 392
Red Tee 392
Blue Tee 379

A short par 5 that doglegs slightly to the right around a grove of tall trees. Hitting the green in two requires two precise shots into a wide, but two-tiered green.

Yardage by Tee:
Gold Tee 223

Yardage by Tee:
Gold Tee 534
White Tee 486
Red Tee 445
Blue Tee 445

Pro Tips
This short par 5 is reachable in two, but players must avoid fescue and fairway bunkers bordering the green on the left and front. The conservative play is to lay-up to the right, leaving a short wedge into the green.
# 9 / Hole 9 / Signature Hole

Men's 13
Women's 15
Yardage by Tee:
Gold Tee 198
White Tee 153
Red Tee 125
Blue Tee 116

Pro Tips
As the ninth is the most picturesque par 3 on the course, there’s no surprise it’s the signature hole. It requires a long-mid iron over both water and a severe bunker front and left of this undulated green.

Handicaps:
Men's 10
Women's 8
Yardage by Tee:
Gold Tee 425

White Tee 365
Red Tee 356
Blue Tee 349
Pro Tips
The back nine opens with a blind tee shot with trees right and a large bunker on the left. The approach shot on this par 4 plays downhill and anything left tends to kick back to the right. A deep bunker guards the putting surface on the front-right.

Women's 14
Yardage by Tee:
Gold Tee 346
Black Tee 324
White Tee 313
Red Tee 313

The twelfth is a short, straightaway par 4. Short-iron approaches play into a wide, but shallow green. Bunkers guard the front and back of the putting surface, with thick round surrounding the perimeter.
# 13 / Hole 13
Par: 5
Handicaps:
Men's 2
Women's 4
Yardage by Tee:
Gold Tee 581
Black Tee 543
White Tee 507
Red Tee 463
Blue Tee 463
Pro Tips

# 14 / Hole 14
Par: 3
Handicaps:
Men's 18
Women's 18
Yardage by Tee:

White Tee 151
Red Tee 151

Pro Tips

Men's 12
Women's 16

Gold Tee 392
Black Tee 366
White Tee 346
Red Tee 315

Men's 8
Women's 2
Yardage by Tee:
Gold Tee 552
Black Tee 510
White Tee 458
Red Tee 415
Blue Tee 383
Pro Tips
This long, uphill par 5 is reminiscent of a links-style course, as it appears endless from the tee. Approach shots play into this elevated, two-tiered green are deceptive and require precise iron play.
# 17 / Hole 17
Par: 4
Handicaps:
Men's 6
Women's 10
Yardage by Tee:
Gold Tee 446
Black Tee 418
White Tee 395
Red Tee 367
Blue Tee 367
Pro Tips
The seventeenth is an outstanding downhill par 4 that is both breathtaking and demanding. Driving accuracy is important as a large bunker, that appears out of reach from the tee, is actually very much in play. This long, shallow green is fronted by two narrow bunkers and bordered by a fence.
# 18 / Hole 18
Par: 4
Handicaps:
Men's 4
Women's 6
Yardage by Tee:
Gold Tee 409
Black Tee 374

Pro Tips
Tee shots on this finishing hole ought to be played at the American flag. This uphill, slight dogleg right par 4 features trees right and a bunker left off the tee. Then, the two-tiered green is guarded by bunkers in front.
