HOLE 1

PAR 4 | 380 YARDS

HOLE 2

PAR 5 | 540 YARDS

A smart tee shot will favor the middle of the fairway on this par five. With a good view for the second shot, try to avoid the pot bunkers on the left side of the second landing area. Two bunkers guard the front of this green and a grass hollow will catch any long approach shots.

 

HOLE 3

PAR 4 | 414 YARDS

The ideal tee shot will land in the right half of this fairway, avoiding the bunkers in the landing area. The approach shot will have to carry a landform guarding the left side of the green with numerous bunkers set in.

 

HOLE 4

PAR 3 | 192 YARDS

Accuracy with an iron is the key to this par three. Generous movement throughout this green will make it a challenge to keep the ball where it lands. A wayward shot will end up in the either the water or one of the numerous bunkers guarding this green.

 

HOLE 5

PAR 4 | 434 YARDS

HOLE 6

PAR 5 | 526 YARDS

Reaching this green in two will require a big tee shot. The tee shot is framed by water and waste bunker on the left and a bunker complex on the right. A drive ending up in the fairway will be a green light to go for this peninsula green in two.

HOLE 7

PAR 4 | 431 YARDS

An accurate tee shot is a necessity on this par four. A small landing area is guarded by trees and the largest lake on the property. This smallish green is guarded by bunkers and grass hollows.

 

HOLE 8

PAR 3 | 185 YARDS

The player will have to account for the wind on this par three playing toward the Atlantic Ocean. The elevated green will require the player to avoid three deep bunkers on the right side and a small pot bunker guarding the left side of this wind swept green.

HOLE 9

PAR 4 | 437 YARDS

Looking for par on this oceanside hole will take the player down the safe route along the left side of the fairway. The big hitter, hoping to make 3, will try to carry the bunker on the right side, leaving a short approach into this elevated green. Deep bunkers and grass hollows will catch the wayward approach shot.

 

HOLE 10

PAR 5 | 522 YARDS

Most will go for this green in two, avoiding the bunker down the left side off the tee, and trying to end up on the same level as the hole in this multi-tiered green. Four bunkers guard the green and the landing area for the second shot.

.

 

HOLE 11

PAR 4 | 384 YARDS

The player will have two options on this par four. Playing to the right of the center fairway bunker leaves a longer approach shot to a small, undulating green guarded by water and sand. Playing to the left of the center bunker has a different angle into this green and a shorter distance to carry.

 

HOLE 12

PAR 3 | 213 YARDS

The longest of the par threes, be careful to avoid the water and sand along the left side of this hole. There is room to bail out on the right, but a back right pin position will create quite a challenge for those choosing that route.

HOLE 13

PAR 4 | 433 YARDS

The big hitters will take their tee shot over the left side fairway bunker for the best approach angle into this green. Be careful to avoid a large bunker in front and grass hollows to the right and behind this green.

 

HOLE 14

PAR 5 | 551 YARDS

This par five offers a choice while standing on the tee. Favoring the left side will result in a longer route to the green. Going down the right side will present a chance at getting home in two, but with the risk of ending up in the pond that guards the right side of this hole. Water guards the front of this green as well.

.

 

HOLE 15

PAR 4 | 432 YARDS

This uphill par four is one of the most challenging holes on the back nine. Avoid the bunkers to the right off the tee, and be aware of two dune elevations in front of this elevated green set along the Atlantic Ocean.

 

HOLE 16

PAR 4 | 399 YARDS

Choose a line off this tee and trust it. This dogleg left bends around a lake with water guarding the left side of the green and a deep run off guarding the right side of this crowned green. The player's short game will be tested if the approach shot is missed right.

.

 

HOLE 17

PAR 3 | 174 YARDS

This short par three of water is the easiest of the back nine. Hitting toward the Atlantic Ocean, distraction may be seventeen's greatest risk. This hole should yield birdie to more often than bogey.

 

HOLE 18

PAR 4 | 466 YARDS

The player will favor the left center of the fairway off the tee. Missing the drive to the right will result in a longer approach to an elevated green. The green is guarded by the dune to the left, a bunker front left, and grass hollows around the right and behind this green.
