PAR 3

8
PAR 4
8th HOLE
Players tee off from back in the woods to the corner of this dogleg-left. Trees on the left will block sight of the green if the drive is short or left. While short-iron second shots are the rule here, this hole has proven to be the most difficult on the front nine.
Yardage: 436
Yardage: 397
Yardage: 383
Yardage: 316
9
PAR 4
9th HOLE
This short par 4 provides a break from the more difficult eighth and tenth holes, if you stay in the fairway. The heavily-bunkered green will be difficult to hit from the deep rough. Long hitters may take aim at the green from a forward tee position.
Yardage: 359
Yardage: 339
Yardage: 289
Yardage: 289

PAR 4
10th HOLE
A demanding hole because of the straight drive required, this par 4 features a narrow green protected by bunkers on both sides. As many bogeys as birdies will be made here.
Yardage: 447
Yardage: 423
Yardage: 410
Yardage: 321
11
PAR 3
11th HOLE
Water and sand on the players left present most of the problems on this hole. The contoured green, which slopes toward the hazards from right to left, makes birdies difficult.
Yardage: 196
Yardage: 164
Yardage: 152
Yardage: 112

PAR 4
12th HOLE
A 3-wood or iron off the tee will set up an uphill approach to the green. Trees and rough on either side of the fairway cause most of the trouble here.

Yardage: 364
Yardage: 347
Yardage: 287
13
PAR 4/5
13th HOLE
The tee shot on this downhill par 4 must be short of the creek and preferably on the right side. The small, undulating green prevents many good birdie opportunities.

Yardage: 408
Yardage: 402
Yardage: 402

PAR 3
14th HOLE

Yardage: 172
Yardage: 159
Yardage: 136
15
PAR 5
15th HOLE
This dogleg-left is reachable in two strokes with a good tee shot. While birdies are common here, woods on the right as well as a small, sloping green can present problems and keep eagles to a minimum.
Yardage: 531
Yardage: 513
Yardage: 503
Yardage: 420
16

Yardage: 351
Yardage: 341
Yardage: 291
17
PAR 4

Yardage: 387
Yardage: 370
Yardage: 345
Yardage: 215
18
PAR 5
18th HOLE
A good drive over the creek allows players to go for the green in two strokes; otherwise, you must lay up. The green has five bunkers in front to penalize the daring golfer looking for an eagle.
