Hole #10: 382 Yards, Par 4 - The Tournament Course          

Regardless of the tee angle selected for play, accuracy off the tee is paramount to set up the desired approach shot into the elevated and multi-tiered green. Any approach shots short or right of the green, will roll to the base of the slope, setting up a challenging chip shot.



Hole #11: 440 Yards, Par 4 - The Tournament Course          

Perhaps the most demanding driving hole on the course. Water guards the entire right side of the fairway landing area, while a small sand bunker sits on the left, at the far end of the driving zone. The large green is protected by water on the right and deep sand bunkers on the left and rear.



Hole #12: 335 Yards, Par 4 - The Tournament Course          

This "risk/reward" hole provides the opportunity for an exciting eagle or a frustrating bogey. The fairway landing area and approach encourage driving the green. But any attempt that goes right will land in the lake.

A safer play, to the left of the fairway, results in a more difficult approach. The green is deep and features a lower "trough" across the center, offsetting higher plateaus in the front and rear.



Hole #13: 588 Yards, Par 5 - The Tournament Course          

Precise placement of each successive shot on this hole becomes increasingly more critical, in order to secure a birdie. A series of sand bunkers parallel the generous first landing area. Flirting with the bunkers on the left of the second landing area, provides the ideal angle to access the smallish, back-right portion of the green.



Hole #14: 215 Yards, Par 3 - The Tournament Course          

The putting surface contours of this scenic par three create distinct cupping areas and reward an accurate tee shot with an excellent birdie opportunity. Deep sand bunkers flank both sides of the green, creating a challenging recovery to an adjacent hole location.



Hole #15: 609 Yards, Par 5 - The Tournament Course          

The first landing area of the longest par five features a right-to-left slope and narrows slightly opposite the left fairway bunker. The second shot must favor the right side of the fairway, close to the sculptured bunker, to obtain the ideal angle into the diagonal green.



Hole #16: 199 Yards, Par 3 - The Tournament Course          

The angle of play and varying wind conditions will greatly affect the difficulty of this hole. Regardless, the green is receptive from either set of tees and contoured to reward accuracy with a shorter and more level putt.



Hole #17: 487 Yards, Par 4 - The Tournament Course          

This challenging par four requires two well-struck shots to reach the green. Carrying the left fairway bunker off the tee results in added roll and a significantly shorter approach shot into the elevated green. However, a failed challenge to carry the steep face of this bunker prevents any chance of reaching the green.



Hole #18: 484 Yards, Par 4 - The Tournament Course          

A challenging and dramatic finishing hole. With a lake bordering the entire left side of the hole, the tee shot challenges the golfer to carry as much water as possible, while also avoiding the large bunker. The approach leaves little margin for error, with water on the left and a sand bunker on the right. Attacking the back-left hole location is a gutsy proposition.
