Walking the Course

The Front Nine
The 321-yard, par-4 opening hole is a gentle warm-up for what lies ahead. Teeing from a chute of pine trees, the well-struck drive will deliver you into the meadowlands, where you will remain for the first few holes. 

The Back Nine
The pond that fronts the green on the temptingly short par-4 tenth is filled with balls struck by pretenders rife with false bravado. Only the foolish convince themselves they can drive the green on this 289-yard backside opener—and most that try end up in either the pond in front or the wetlands behind. The tiny green is made for a high-lofted approach, more easily achieved when a mid-iron from the tee has been positioned in the slim fairway framed by a creek on the right.
