    #1 - 406 Yards - Par 4 (Driver)


    Notes:
    Slight dogleg to the left
    Ideal drive is along the treeline on the left even with or just beyond the bunker on the right
    Should leave you 150-160 yards into the green
    The green slopes from back to front so best to be short of the flag for an uphill putt


    #2 - 417 Yards - Par 5 (Driver)



    Notes:
    Very short, straight par 5
    A good drive should leave you short of the fairway bunkers and 160-170 yards short of the green
    A drive left is danger and out of bounds, a drive right is open, but too far deep runs into trouble with the trees on the right
    The green slopes back to front so being short is best for an uphill putt


    #3 - 346 Yards - Par 4 (4-Iron)



    Notes:
    Straightforward, short par 4
    Look at the pin placement for hole #6
    Ideal drive is to middle of the fairway just short of the dropoff
    This should be about 200 yards down so use either a 4-iron or a fairway metal
    Should leave you about 150 yards into the green, but it will play longer than that because the green is a bit elevated
    The green slopes back to front so short of the pin is best for an uphill putt


    #4 - 428 Yards - Par 5 (Driver)



    Notes:
    Very straight par 5
    Decent drive should land you short of the bunker on the left
    Then should have 180-200 yards into the green, but short of the green and let it run up the middle is also fine
    Green is relatively flat with some back to front slope, but not too bad


    #5 - 128 Yards - Par 3 (8 or 9-Iron)



    Notes:
    Short par 3, but deceptively shorter than it plays
    Wind may play a role up near the green
    Usually plays about 135-140 yards as the green is slightly elevated compared to the tee box
    Green is relatively flat, slopes back to front a bit
    Look at pin placement for hole #7


    #6 - 369 Yards - Par 4 (3-Wood or Driver)



    Notes:
    Sharp dogleg to the left
    Ideal drive goes right over the patch of trees on the left
    A bomb of a drive positioned well over the trees leaves no more than 100 or so yards into the green
    Not much danger off to the right as long as you make it past the trees, just makes the hole a bit longer
    The green is tiered (back green is higher with a ridge in the middle to the front lower part of the green) so watch the pin placement


    #7 - 361 Yards - Par 4 (Driver)



    Notes:
    Straight par 4, but there is a ridge/hill that crosses the fairway at right around the 220 yard range just to the right of the fairway bunker
    An ideal drive makes it beyond the ridge otherwise you may have a tough lie/stance
    Drives off the right are not too bad, but bring the trees on the right into play
    Green has two hills that divide the green into thirds, makes on or two putts difficult if you don't hit the right third


    #8 - 389 Yards - Par 4 (3-Wood)



    Notes:
    Slight dogleg to the left
    Ideal drive is just along the trees on the left up towards the bunker on the right
    Should leave you nothing more than 160 yards into the green which is slightly downhill


    #9 - 195 Yards - Par 3 (4-Iron)



    Notes:
    Long par 3
    Plays about 200 yards
    Green has a centrally-elevated portion that is tough to make the ball stop on
    A tough par hole


    #10 - 412 Yards - Par 5 (3-Wood)



    Notes:
    Short par 5, but very narrow
    Drives to the right run into trees and the road and drives to the left run into trees and the 11th fairway
    About 240 yards off the tee gets to a valley that runs off to the left
    Ideal drive is short of the dropoff which will leave you 180-200 yards to the green which is even with the fairway before it drops off
    Green is small and surrounded by trees on all sides
    Best approach may be to go with a 4-Iron off the tee (200 yards) then a 9-Iron (120 yards) followed by the scoring wedge to stick it close


    #11 - 369 Yards - Par 4 (Driver)



    Notes:
    Short par 4, but with danger
    Ideal drive is just right of the trees on the left as fairway funnels down to the right
    Danger to the right and the Moose River
    Should leave you with 130-150 yards into the green
    Green is long and narrow and with trouble left (trees and hill) and right (Moose River)


    #12 - 176 Yards - Par 3 (6-Iron)



    Notes:
    Signature hole of the course
    Downhill shot, but plays longer than you think, probably plays about 160 yards
    Bunkers on both sides of the green
    Better left than right
    Green slopes slightly back to front


    #13 - 429 Yards - Par 4 (Driver)



    Notes:
    Long par 4
    Ideal drive is just left of center, fairway funnels slightly left-to-right
    Creek crosses the fairway, but it's probably 310-320 yards off the tee
    Green is relatively flat with a bunker on the left
    Better to be right of the green than to the left
    Par is a great score here


    #14 - 494 Yards - Par 5 (4-Iron)



    Notes:
    Long, curvy par 5
    Ideal drive is left of the boulder out in the middle
    If you can get it high over the trees to the left of the tee box that can cut some yardage off the hole, but you still will not be able to go for it in 2
    Best play is 4-Iron off the tee (200 yards) then a 6-Iron (160 yards) up to a cluster of tall trees on the left side of the fairway and then a 9-Iron into the green
    Along the right is danger all the way up (trees and the Moose River)


    #15 - 342 Yards - Par 4 (3-Wood)



    Notes:
    Slight dogleg to the left
    Ideal drive is just to the right of the treeline on the left
    Right off the tee makes this hole long and tough to get the green in 2
    Green is downhill from the middle of the fairway so you can run it up there on the ground
    Green is guarded by a bunker on the front right


    #16 - 149 Yards - Par 3 (7-Iron)



    Notes:
    Plays a bit longer than it looks
    Bunkers guard the front of the green on both sides
    Green does slope back to front
    Right is OK, but brings trees into play


    #17 - 403 Yards - Par 4 (3-Wood)



    Notes:
    Slight dogleg to the left
    Danger on both sides of the fairway
    Ideal drive is right along the treeline on the left
    Should leave you 170 yards into the green
    Green is pretty flat
    Can miss the green to the right as it is flat out that way at the green, left is the elevated cart path which might give a bounce down to the right


    #18 - 395 Yards - Par 4 (Driver)



    Notes:
    Nice finishing hole, a long par 4
    Starts up at an elevated tee box then down to the fairway which climbs up to the green so hole plays more like 420 yards
    Ideal drive is down to the right side of the fairway
    Should leave you 160-180 yards up to the green which is large
    Green is slightly protected in the front right and left by bunkers
    Green slopes very slightly back to front
