Pro Tip:The opening hole is a dogleg right that requires a fairly straight tee shot to get to the corner. With an accurate drive you will be left with 100-150 yards to the green protected by mounding and some challenging rough just off the fringe.

Pro Tip:The second hole is a longer par 3 to a narrower green that requires an accurate tee shot. Your miss should be to the right hand side as the left side has out of bounds, a penalty ditch and some mean rough to contend with.

Pro Tip:A longer left hand dogleg par 5 awaits you on the 3rd hole. From the tee you have a couple of options. For the longer hitters you can cut off the dogleg over the water for a chance at getting home in two or you can play a little safer and play out to the right and make it a true 3 shot par 5. Your approach is to a larger green protected by bunkering on the left and front corner. Definitely a true Risk-Reward hole.

Pro Tip:The 4th hole offers a picturesque view from the tee over the pond to an undulating green that is protected on both sides by bunkers. The traditional method of playing this hole is to play a layup shot of about 180 yards off the tee and leave yourself with a 2nd shot of about the same distance over the pond. If you can lay your tee shot up on the left side of the fairway, you will open up an alley to the middle of the green where you will not have to fly over the right hand bunkers.

Pro Tip:The second par 5 on the course is another dogleg left. From the red tees, you can cut a little of the dogleg of if you choose. However, the landing area on this line is very small and you could find yourself in the rough on the right or out of bounds on the left. The safest way to attack this hole is to always make your miss on the right side. Once you get to the green you will find a tricky little green with hills and valleys. Depending on the pin placement of the day you could be remembering this hole for a long time.

Pro Tip:The par 3 sixth hole gives you a true test of accuracy and distance control. The green is an undulating kidney shaped green that can test your skill from many different angles. The green is protected by bunkers on both sides along with a penalty ditch running down the left and behind the green. The left hand side also has out of bounds running down its whole length. Any errant shots should be short of the green if at all possible.

Pro Tip:The 357 yard, straightaway par 4 seventh hole demands a little attention on the tee shot and approach to the green. The fairway landing area narrows between a couple of elevated fairway bunkers on the left side and some challenging rough on the right. The approach to the back to front sloping green has to be judged right as a pond lies directly behind the green to capture any mishit shots. The yardage looks deceiving but if you trust your number you will have success.

Pro Tip:The long par 4 eighth hole is one of the toughest holes on the golf course. A well placed drive to the right centre of the fairway leaves you a mid iron shot to the long and narrow green. This green is surrounded by bunkers and mounds which makes the approach shot a little tricky. Once again, trusting the yardage is important.

Pro Tip:The par 4 finishing hole has two very different looks from the red and blue tees. From the red tees the players have an option to play their tee shot over the ditch and into the fairway on the other side. This shot will leave you with about 100 yards to the green. When you play the blue tees, out of the chute of trees you will send your tee shot short of the ditch and have anywhere from 150-200 yards for your second shot. The green slopes from back to front and has some gnarly rough directly behind it. Leaving your ball short on the approach is definitely not a bad thing.
