A SHORT PAR 4 THE BEST TEE SHOT IS TO FAVOR THE LEFT CENTER OF THE FAIRWAY. A WASTE BUNKER GUARDS THE RIGHT SIDE. CLUB SELECTION IS AT A PREMIUM. THIS SMALL GREEN IS ONLY 11/2 CLUBS DEEP AND HAS TREES GUARDING THE LEFT SIDE AND A GREEN SIDE BUNKER WRAPPED AROUND THE RIGHT SIDE. THE GREEN IS NO PICNIC EITHER. SHORT DOES NOT MEAN EASY.

POINTER: AVOID THE WOODPECKERS HOUSE IN THE WASTE AREA ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FAIRWAY ON YOUR TEE-SHOT. MISSING THIS GREEN WILL FOLLOW WITH A IMPOSSIBLE CHIP OR PITCH. HIT TO THE CENTER OF THE GREEN.

THE HARDEST HOLE ON THE FRONT 9 THIS PAR 4 DOGLEG LEFT REQUIRES A TEE-SHOT TO THE RIGHT CENTER OF THE FAIRWAY. A LONG TEE-SHOT IS REQUIRED TO SEE THIS UNDULATING TWO TIER GREEN.

POINTER: A TEE-SHOT TO THE LEFT SIDE WILL GREATLY HINDER ALL PLAYERS. “STAY RIGHT” THE AVERAGE PLAYER SHOULD HIT TO THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN AND HOPE FOR A TWO PUTT. THE PLAYER WHO DOES SHOOT DIRECTLY AT THE PIN BEWARE OF THE BUNKERS GUARDING THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE OF THE GREEN AND BE CAREFUL TO PICK THE RIGHT CLUB, IT COULD VARY UP TO 3 CLUBS FROM FRONT TO BACK.

A MEDIUM LENGTH PAR 3 THIS HOLE PRESENTS A GOLIATH SIZE GREEN WITH THE RIGHT HALF OF THE GREEN HIDDEN FROM THE EYE. MOST PLAYERS SHOULD AIM FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN AND FOCUS ON SHARPENING YOUR PUTTING SKILLS.

POINTER: STAY AWAY FROM THE BUNKER ON THE RIGHT. THE BUNKER SHOULD NOT COME INTO PLAY FOR MOST BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERABLY SHORT OF THE GREEN. TAKE DEAD AIM FOR THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN AND HOPE FOR A 2 PUTT.

THIS DOWNHILL MEDIUM LENGTH PAR 4 HAS A GENEROUS LANDING AREA FOR THE TEE SHOT WITH A BUNKER ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND A WASTE AREA THAT IS LATERAL TO THE RIGHT TO CATCH OFF LINE SHOTS. TEE-SHOT SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY RIGHT OF CENTER TO PREPARE FOR THE APPROACH INTO A VERY SMALL UNDULATED GREEN SURROUNDED BY BUNKERS. THE GREEN IS A 12 ON A SCALE OF 10 ON DIFFICULTY.

POINTER: TEE-SHOT MUST BE RIGHT CENTER SO AS TO AVOID THE BUNKER ON THE RIGHT AND THE HAZARD ON THE LEFT. TO SAY THE GREEN IS TREACHEROUS IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. HIT YOUR APPROACH SHOT WITH THE IDEA OF STAYING SHORT OF THE PIN. THIS WILL LEAVE YOU WITH AN UPHILL PUTT, AND A CHANCE FOR A 1 OR 2 PUTT GREEN. IF YOUR SECOND SHOT DOES NOT FIND THE GREEN BE PREPARED FOR QUITE THE INTERESTING PITCH OR CHIP SHOT.

VISUALLY DECEIVING THIS PAR 5 FROM THE TEE DIRECTS THE PLAYER CONSIDERABLY RIGHT OF THE ACTUAL TARGET AREA. PINE TREES TO YOUR LEFT ARE YOUR ACTUAL TARGET FOR THE TEE-SHOT. THERE ARE TWO FAIRWAY BUNKERS TO THE RIGHT OF THE FAIRWAY IN YOUR TEE-SHOT AREA THAT ARE BLIND FROM THE TEE. AN ATTEMPT SHOULD BE MADE BY THE PLAYER TO AVOID THESE. THE HOLE CONTINUOUSLY CURVES TO THE RIGHT THE ENTIRE WAY TO THIS HUGE GREEN THAT IS DIVIDED IN TWO BY A HUMP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN.

POINTER: TEE-SHOT MUST BE AIMED AT PINE TREES ON THE LEFT TO AVOID BLIND FAIRWAY BUNKERS ON THE RIGHT. THE GREEN IS HUGE AND DIVIDED BY A HUMP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GREEN. TRY TO STAY ON THE SIDE OF THE GREEN WHERE THE PIN IS LOCATED TO AVOID THE DREADED 3 PUTT.

THIS PICTURESQUE HOLE ALLOWS SEVERAL METHODS FOR SUCCESS BUT THE AVERAGE PLAYER SHOULD FAVOR THE RIGHT CENTER OF THE FAIRWAY TO AVOID THE WATER HAZARD ON THE RIGHT. ANYTHING ON THE APPROACH TO THE RIGHT SHOULD STAY DRY AND GIVE ALL PLAYERS A CHANCE FOR A PAR.

POINTER: PLAYING FROM THE WHITE TEES THE MONGO HITTER CAN REACH THE GREEN OVER THE WATER. THE CARRY IS SLIGHTLY OVER 250 YARDS. MOST PLAYERS OF SOUND MIND FROM THE WHITE TEES ONLY NEED A 200 YARD TEE-SHOT DOWN THE RIGHT CENTER TO SET-UP A CHANCE FOR BIRDIE. TRY TO HIT THE APPROACH TO THE CENTER OF THE GREEN AND A BIRDIE PUTT COULD BE MADE FROM ANYWHERE. THE ARCHITECT HAD A VISION HERE. GREAT HOLE.

THIS VERY HARD PAR THREE SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED. SLIGHTLY UPHILL WITH A SMALL UNDULATING GREEN SURROUNDED BY DEEP BUNKERS SHOULD GIVE THE PLAYER ALL HE OR SHE WANTS. PICK THE RIGHT CLUB AND HAVE FUN.

POINTER: HARD HOLE. THE GREEN IS VERY SMALL AND THE HOLE PENALIZES SHOTS TO A STRONG DEGREE WHEN THE BALL MISSES THE GREEN. TRY TO HIT YOUR TEE-SHOT TO THE RIGHT CENTER OF THE GREEN AND A FAIR CHANCE FOR A 2 PUTT CAN BE HAD. ADD A CLUB TO YOUR NORMAL SELECTION. THIS HOLE IS MORE UPHILL THAN YOU THINK.

WIDE FAIRWAY DROPS DOWNHILL TO AN ELEVATED SMALL GREEN. PLENTY OF ROOM OFF THE TEE BUT THE LENGTH AND ELEVATED GREEN MAKE UP THE EXTREME DIFFICULTY OF THIS HOLE.

POINTER: THIS FAIRWAY REMINDS ME OF O’HARE AIRPORT. GIANT LANDING AREA FOR THE TEE-SHOT. TRY TO KEEP YOUR TEE-SHOT TO THE CENTER OF THE FAIRWAY TO AVOID THE HAZARD ON THE RIGHT SIDE AND OUT OF BOUNDS TO THE LEFT. FOR. TAKE TWO EXTRA CLUBS FOR YOUR APPROACH TO THIS ELEVATED UNDULATING GREEN. TRY TO STAY SHORT OF THE HOLE TO HAVE A REASONABLE PUTT. PLAY HARD THIS IS A DIFFICULT HOLE.
