Pro Tips
| The first par 5 has a wide landing area and leans left. Aim at the fairway bunker off the tee. There is a small cross bunker in the middle of the fairway about 80 yards out. The kidney-shaped green has two tiers, bunkers front left and right with one in the back as well. |

Slope:
Black 131 | Green 124 | White 123 | Blue 118 | Gold 116
Pro Tips
| A short par 4 that requires strategy. There is a large cross bunker starting at 165 yards out; right of it will probably lead to a bogey or worse. The ideal drive is left of the bunker. The green has two bunkers left and two bunkers right. |

WHITE 465
BLUE 465
GOLD 442
Slope:
Black 131 | Green 124 | White 123 | Blue 118 | Gold 116
Pro Tips
| The shortest par 5 on the course and a good risk/reward hole, reachable in two, but there is a lake starting around 300 yards out that runs down the entire left side. If you are not going for the green in two, lay up short of the right bunker complex to set up a short iron to the green, as the green has two small landing areas front and back. |

Pro Tips
| The longest par 3 on the course. This green has major slopes, and center green from the tee is always a good play. |

Slope:
Black 131 | Green 124 | White 123 | Blue 118 | Gold 116
Pro Tips
| A tough par 4 with an extreme dogleg left and a large bunker on the inside elbow. A long and straight tee shot will still leave a long approach to a green with large bunkers right and left. The back right pin location is by far the most difficult. |

Slope:

Pro Tips
| The back nine starts with the longest hole on the course. Off the tee, aim at the left fairway bunker. The ideal second shot will be between or short of the two fairway bunkers about 150 yards out. There is a large greenside bunker front left and a deep pot bunker right. |

Pro Tips
| This left-leaning par 4 is a good scoring opportunity, especially if you can hit a high right-to-left shot. This will leave you with a short iron to a green that’s only defense is a bunker front right. |

Pro Tips
| The No. 1 handicap hole is a long, tight par 4 that bends left and has water in front of the green. It was featured in the movie Tin Cup where it was played as the par 5 18th hole. There is a plaque in the fairway where Kevin Costner’s character Roy McAvoy holed a shot after depositing a few balls in the water. You’re welcome to try the shot but please move on after one attempt. |

Pro Tips
| The final par 5. Reachable in two, although it is tight with water left the whole way. Favor left of center off the tee to give yourself a chance, then you’re challenged by the long undulating green. |
