#1 is a 412-yard par 4 with a dogleg left. Drive your tee shot to the center or right center of the fairway for a good second shot to the green. Stay away from the trees and left side of the fairway off the tee. A downhill approach to the green. A bunker is on the left side of the green.

#2 is a 398-yard par 4 with a slight dogleg to the right. Play the center or right center of the fairway for your second shot to the green. Green can e4asily be reached in two and the second half of the fairway runs downhill. A trap is on the right side of the fairway and can shag any errant tee shots. A steep hill greets errant shots going over this green.

#3 is a 477-yard par 5 with danger lurking on the left....lots of water on the left side of the fairway. Keep your tee shot center or right center in the fairway. A hilly bank runs off the right side of the fairway. This is a long hole which takes most golfers three shots to reach the green. A trap is on the left front portion of the green..

#4 is a 403-yard par 4 with a fairway that slopes downhill to the right. Keep your tee shot left center of the fairway. Traps are on the right and left front section of this green.

#5 is a 385-yard par 4 with a slight dogleg as you approach the green. Play to the center or right center of the fairway.....don't go left, there is a trap on the right front portion of this green.

# 6 is a 209-yard par 3 and is reachable from the tee with the club of your choice. Stay right off the tee.....there is also a hill to the right and the green slants to the left and downhill. A challenging par 3. There is a trap on the left side of the green.

# 7 is a 512-yard par 5. Off the tee stay left as there is a slight dogleg to the left. The fairway slopes downhill to the right. Traps are on the right side of the fairway and to the left side of the green.

# 8 is a 409-yrd par 4. Stay left off the tee as there are traps on the right side of the fairway. Traps are also on the left front and right side of the green.

# 9 is a 180-yard par 3, slightly uphill with a large pond on the left. Traps are to the left and right front of the green and the right rear of the green. A nice finishing hole on the front nine and a reachable par 3 with the club of your choice. The pond has a fountain and along the pond are numerous Bon Sai style trees.

The back nine definitely gives golfers the opportunity to use every club in their bag. It plays from the blue tees, 3,385 yards with a par of 36.

# 10 is a 418-yard par 4 with a dogleg to the left. From the tee you are looking at a 225-yard tee shot that should be played just opposite a trap on the left side of the fairway . Fairway runs slightly downhill so club selection is important here. Don't over drive the fairway where it bends to the left Green traps on the front left and right side.

# 11 is a 182-yard par 3 with the fairway running uphill. Three traps are in the front and left and right sides of this green. The hole appears to play longer than 182 yards so club selection here is important for your par.

# 12 is a 516-yard par 5 with a slight dogleg to the left. Keeping your tee shot in the center of the fairway is important here. Traps are to the right and left of this green. Don't go over the green as hill slopes sharply down.

# 13 is a 400-yard par 4 uphill with the fairway sloping to the right and has a dogleg to the left......this makes for an interesting combination. Appears to play longer than 400 yards and requires a long tee shot and a good fairway hit for your par. Traps on the left and right side of the green.

# 14 is a 375-yard par 4 with the fairway sloping downhill with a dogleg left. This is a hole where I say let it all hang out and go for it with a tee shot over the tree line to your left....a successful shot over the trees into the fairway in front of the green leads to a birdie score. The green has traps to the left and right sides.

# 15 is a 399-yard par 4 with a slight dogleg to the left. Keep your shots down the center of the fairway. Traps on the left and right side of the green. A good par 4-hole and there are opportunities for a birdie also.

# 16 is a 196-yard par 3 with the fairway sloping sharply uphill so this hole actually plays longer than the 196-yards. There is also a trap some 40-yards in front of the green on the left side and traps on the left and right sides of the green. Club selection here can lead to a birdie or par. Go for the pin on this hole.

# 17 is a 537-yard par 5 and is the longest hole on this 18-hole course. Fairway traps are on both the left and right sides and a trap on the right rear side of the green. Keeps you shots in the center of the fairway. Don't go over the back of this green. Short hitters will find this hole a challenge.

# 18 is a 412-yard par 4. with a slight dogleg to the left. Your tee shot should go to the right center portion of this fairway to stay away from a fairway trap on the left. Traps are to the left and right front sections of the green. A real nice finishing hole and a very make able par.
