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 #11 - Par 4 A classic straightaway hole protected left by fairway bunkers and right with rough and gorse. A medium to long second shot travels downhill over a rock ledge bordered green with a pond to the right.
|
|
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 - 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 - 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 #15 - Par 5 A beautiful dogleg 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 # 16 - Par 4 An uphill dogleg left to a plateau fairway guarded left by a bunker. A tricky approach shot follows to a double green shared by the 18th hole.
|
|
Hole #17 - Par 4 A long, graceful par 4 downhill. The green sits up and slants right to left as you look at it, with many testy pin placements. A bunker catches shots left, and mounds and slopes protect the other sides.
|
|
Hole #18 - Par 5 A classic finishing par 5. The tee shot is uphill to a landing area framed left with a crabapple tree and right with a bunker. The second shot is to a peninsula landing area with water running short and the entire right side. The double green connected to number sixteen is surrounded by a natural amphitheater perfect for a tournament gallery.
