	Hole #1 - Par 4 A superb starting hole with a tee shot to a tiered fairway, falling left into fairway bunkers and protected right by a cluster of trees. The approach is to an elevated green protected by steep bunkers short right and middle left.
	Hole #2 - Par 4 A gentle dogleg left with a strong strand of trees guarding the left side of the fairway, and fairway bunkers on the right. The second shot is to an elongated, severely undulating green—with bunkers protecting the right side.
	Hole #3 - Par 5 A challenge is extended by the third hole. The double fairway invites the long straight hitters to play the right side of the fairway with the hopes of a shorter, direct shot into the green. The left side leads toward a generous fairway, and a terrific three shot par five. A steep ravine protects the front of the green to catch errant shots.
	Hole #4 - Par 3 A very difficult par 3 where the challenge begins at the tee. A series of bunkers protects the entire right side, and a treacherous two-tiered green slopes severely from the left. Hitting left off the tee leaves a difficult chip to the green. Once on the putting surface, the undulations and depth of the green create additional difficulty.
	Hole #5 - Par 4 The start of four fabulous par fours to finish the outward half. A graceful downhill hole with trouble left and three puttable green, protected left by water and right by a series of bunkers.
	Hole #6 - Par 4 An uphill graceful dogleg right with fairway bunkers left and a fairway falling off right. The green is protected short by a bunker and is enclosed by a natural amphitheater of mounds.
	Hole #7 - Par 4 Arthur Hills' favorite hole. A short hole that demands a second shot to a green that rolls like the ocean, challenging any putter.
	Hole #8 - Par 4 A fun dogleg right with a receptive fairway bunker to the right. Your second shot is downhill to a green surrounded left and long by water and short and right by bunkers.
	Hole #9 - Par 4 Out of a shoot of trees you go to an uphill par 4 aimed at the clubhouse. Once on the fairway, the fairway shot is to a bunkered green containing several slopes.
