Hole 10 Green Hole #10 - Par 4
Away you go to an uphill par 4 whose fairway narrows as you get closer to the green. Not a long hole, the second shot is straight uphill to a green protected left by a bunker and short by hollows. The shot to the green requires accuracy to reach one of 3 distinct putting areas.

Hole 12 Green Hole #12 - Par 3
A great par 3 that demands an accurate middle iron downhill tee shot to a green sloping towards you. If not on the green, you will find water left, and severe mounds and bunkers around the remainder of the green.

Hole 13 Green Hole #13 - Par 4
Our signature hole and one of the most talked about in the state. You can bite off as much as you choose, guarding left from water running tee to green. False security lies in the fairway with a shot to a naturally set elongated green guarded short by a bunker.

Hole 14 Gold Tee Hole #14 - Par 4
One of two new golf holes put into play in 2008, completing the original routing of the back nine as drawn by Arthur Hills in 1987. A long par 4 to a deep green, guarded on the right by two deep bunkers and large sycamore tree.

Hole 15 Approach Hole # 15 - Par 4
The second of the two new holes, and one of the most picturesque par 4 in the region. The fairway falls to the left and is guarded by a creek down the left side. Another creek crosses the fairway 100 yards out. The large green is surrounded by mounds on the right and creek off the left side.

Hole 16 Green Hole # 16 - Par 3
A traditional par 3 following a natural rock ledge to a green framed by hardwood trees. The green is guarded right and long by cedar trees and left by bunkers and a severe slope.

Hole 17 Green Hole #17 - Par 5
A beautiful dogleft left from an elevated tee. You may elect to go for the long left to right green protected in front by a gentle rolling stream. Those laying up must finesse a delicate shot over the creek to the green lying at the base of a rolling hill.

Hole 18 Green View Hole #18 - Par 5
A classic finishing par 5. The tee shot must carry natural ground to a landing area at a dogleg. A fairway bunker guards those trying to take off too much. The second shot is to a landing area with water on the left and out of bounds right. The large green demands precision and sets in a natural amphitheater perfect for a tournament gallery.
