The club of choice off the tee is an
iron that will give you a 180 to 200
yard shot. The water tower off in the
distant backround is the target since
you are unable to see the green. There
is a well-placed bunker further on the
right side of the green and a water
hazard on the left. Be aware of the
second shot club selection since the
green is well below you.
A straight driver shot is best here.
With a large bunker on the left side
and various trees on the right, it is
important not to be blocked out on your
second shot. Since very few people are
able to reach the green in two, hit
a second shot lay up that will leave
you in position to attack the hole and
have a shot at birdie.
A well bunkered par three with a large
green. Be aware of the wind direction
when playing your tee shot and choose
your club accordingly. Middle to front
part of green is a good place to be
putting from. 
Leave
the driver in the bag. The fairway narrows
the further out you go with water on
the left and the right side. The water
on the right comes into play approximately
170 yards out and the water on the left,
approximately 270. The best shot leaves
you 130 yards to a green that is slightly
elevated and well bunkered.
A
long par four that tests your long game.
A challenging tee shot with water left
and right comes into play from the back
tees. However, from the front middle
tees, a long tee shot could find the
stream that is located to the left and
right side of the fairway. This hole
has well-placed greenside bunkers. Par
is a good score on this hole.
This
hole sets up to a fade or draw off the
tee with a driver. Be aware of the fairway
bunkers that are to the left and right
side in the landing areas. A shot in
the fairway will leave you with a great
chance to score on this hole. Be cautious
of attacking a left pin location. 
A great hole for the person who plays
fade. With out-of-bounds long left and
fairway bunkers left and right, this
dogleg right will reward a slight fade
with the driver and set you up with
a scoring opportunity on this hole.
The center is a good place to be when
the flagstick is located on the left
side of the green. 
A slight dogleg right par five that
can be reached in two. From a good drive
in the fairway, you may choose to go
for the green that is well fortified
with greenside bunkers. If you question
your length, this is a good test. Keep
in mind that a shot placed short of
the green takes out the bunkers and
sets you up for a good opportunity at
a birdie.
A mid-length par three that has an elevated
green protected by bunkers on the left
and short right. Take in to account
the green elevation and choose one to
two clubs more. A tip would be to look
at the pin placement when going to the
first hole. Choose your shot carefully
because if you find a greenside bunker,
it will take a skilled shot to save
par. Home | Directions | Scorecard | Hole Guide | Photos | Rates | Inner Club
