The first hole is a par 4 where the ideal tee shot is down the left side of the fairway. Approach shots into this receptive green tend to play a little longer than the yardage.

BLACK 191
BLUE 176
WHITE 161
GOLD 146

The green on this par 3 is fairly large and players should aim for the middle or right side. Anything missed left will leave a difficult up-and-down to make par.

BLACK 402
BLUE 363

Pro Tips
The third is a straightaway par 4 that features one of the most difficult fairways to hit on the course. Anything missed left off the tee will be severely punished. On the uphill approach shot, players can get a little more aggressive.

Pro Tips
Favoring the right off the tee will help players avoid the water left and reach this par 5 in two. A lay-up is best played down the right to set up the best angle into the green. Anything long and left of this putting surface is not a good option.

BLACK 574
BLUE 543
WHITE 519

Par: 4
Handicaps:
Men's 5
Women's 5
Yardage by Tee:
BLACK 423
BLUE 385

The finishing hole is a par 4 where tee shots should favor the right side, which will leave a short iron in. The green is fairly large and undulated, but players can get aggressive with trying to get their ball close.
