Pro Tips
The first hole starts off with a slight dog leg right par 4. Trying to hug the right side of the hole in order to leave shorter approach may not prove to be wise. Trees hug the right side and water near the green requires a precise approach.`

A Par 4 with a slight dog leg left, a penalty area down the left and trees on the right make this hole look narrow. Keep it in the fairway, this approach will be your best opportunity at this sloping green.

Pro Tips
The first Par 5 here is a unique design, a double dog leg left that will have you thinking. Nascar race enthusiast will appreciate constantly turning left. Water right of the fairway and water left of the green means there are no easy shots on this hole.

This Par 4 features a fairway that runs straight where water comes into play. A committed tee shot is required to avoid the water, but once that is accomplished an intimidating approach over water awaits players to a sloping back to front green

Another beautiful Par 3 over water. Also, do not get tricked into a sense of safety after successfully making it over the water. The green has a severe slope running through it that can be difficult to navigate.

Pro Tips
Par 5 here that requires the players full attention. Dog leg left around a pond that seems to have a golf ball magnet somewhere in its depths. Medium and longer hitters must be careful not to go through the fairway and risk leaving themselves with a difficult second shot.

Pro Tips
We learn where the Marsh Course gets its moniker on this Par 4. A marsh runs through the fairway leaving a long approach into the green. Only the longest of players should even attempt to clear the marsh from the tee.

Par 5 with an almost 90 degree dog leg to the left and a big pond that is a tough carry for players attempting to reach in two. Play down the left side of the fairway laying up leaves a tough approach to a green with trees guarding the front
