Challenge holeYardages: Blue · White · Red
The outward nine
Hole 1Par 5
Blue510White479Red419
A welcoming opener with a real birdie chance. Favor the left side approaching the green.
Hole 2Par 4
Blue378White349Red309
Dogleg left with a fairway bunker guarding the corner and a generous green beyond.
Hole 3Par 4
♥ Love Is BlindBlue335White310Red253
Short and tempting. Miss left from the tee and the simple pitch becomes far less simple.
Hole 4Par 4
Blue379White347Red319
Straightaway golf: find the fairway, then trust a mid-to-short iron.
Hole 5Par 4
Blue305White266Red214
Classic risk-reward. Birdie is available, but the right side can turn it into a quick double.
Hole 6Par 3
◎ Short & SweetBlue149White133Red102
A short par 3 before the course begins showing its teeth. Club choice matters.
Hole 7Par 4
Blue396White340Red314
Drive through a chute of trees, then face a longer approach. Par is a very respectable result.
Hole 8Par 3
Blue186White144Red127
Picturesque and well bunkered. It often plays longer than it looks from the tee.
Hole 9Par 4
↗ The Shankopotamus ThrowBlue425White418Red375
The longest par 4. Split the fairway bunkers and take your par without an argument.
The inward nine
Hole 10Par 4
Blue262White248Red223
Short and heavily bunkered. The left side is where promising scorecards go to wobble.
Hole 11Par 3
Blue195White170Red131
The scenic downhill par 3. Elevation makes the correct club less obvious than the view.
Hole 12Par 4
⚭ For Better or WorseBlue358White328Red237
The sternest test: a tight landing area followed by an approach to a demanding green.
Hole 13Par 5
Blue545White487Red455
Keep the drive right and short of the bunker, then build the hole patiently.
Hole 14Par 5
Blue507White478Red382
A strong drive creates the decision: lay up safely or take on the full-carry second shot.
Hole 15Par 4
1 The One-Club StandBlue383White357Red335
A straightforward drive-and-iron hole—until the one-club challenge makes it anything but.
Hole 16Par 5
Blue500White490Red435
Another tree-lined drive, with fairway bunkers shaping the lay-up and a birdie opportunity.
Hole 17Par 3
Blue194White156Red136
A fun par 3 with water waiting right for anyone who pushes or slices the tee shot.
Hole 18Par 4
∞ Finish TogetherBlue314White281Red207
A short, bunkered finish where a solid drive and wedge can close the day with a birdie.
