Hole #1:    Par 5   481, 465, 402 yards
A nice par 5 to begin the white nine. A slight dogleg to the right. Very short in par 5 standards. Best shot is to aim down the right and hit a soft draw back to the fairway. Green is average in length. A good chance to start the white nine off with a birdie.


Hole #2:    Par 4    395, 375, 345 yards
Usually plays downwind. #2 is a slight dogleg back to the right, but avoid the trees on the right hand side of the fairway. Green is large.


Hole #3:    Par 4    366, 345, 324 yards
Although the yardage is short, this hole plays long back into the south wind. Trees guard the fairway from an errant shot. The green is also deep with a difficult up-and-down from the front. Par is a good score.


Hole #4:    Par 4    326, 297, 283 yards
A short par 4 with the long hitters typically trying to reach the green. Be careful. An errant drive will wind up in the trees making par a difficult score. Smart play is to hit a mid-iron down the fairway with a short iron to the green.




Hole #5:    Par 3    210, 180, 125 yards
The start of the "Triangle". A long par 3 guarded by water on the front, trees to the left. Ample room around the green allows for a variety of short shots.


Hole #6:    Par 4    362, 336, 310 yards
Signature hole for the white nine. A short par 4, but visually very intimidating. Mountain Creek Lake hugs the entire right side towards the green. A pond to the left collects errant left shots. Tee-shot is the key. For the brave at heart, hit a driver. For the conservative player, hit a mid-iron followed with another one. Typically, this fairway is wet with little roll. Second shot is up the hill to a very large green. Once again, pay attention to where the pin is. Par is a very good score on this hole.


Hole #7:    Par 4    372, 342, 302 yards
A good traditional par 4 with a wide fairway. Ponds guard errant shots to the right and to the left. Second shot is back towards the south wind to a slightly elevated green.


Hole #8:    Par 3    200, 180, 125 yards
Another tough par 3. More visually difficult than reality. Water guards the front. Bail out area is the left. A large green welcomes well-placed shots.


Hole #9:    Par 4    302, 282, 262 yards
A short finishing par 4. Players tee off towards the green to a gentle slopping fairway that slightly doglegs back to the left. Longer hitters try to reach the green. Once again, trees guard the fairway from errant shots. This green severly slopes from front to back. Avoid being above the hole. The speed is treacherous.
