This is the approach to 1st green. The best place to hit your tee shot is a fraction left of center, and preferrably past the right hand fairway bunker. If short of the bunker many lay up short of the little brook thats 117yrds short of the green. Thats not the end either as this can be a 3 putt green.  - The 2nd tee, go for it or lay up. All depends on the wind. If laying up the best place is right of the bigger of the two trees that are in the 1st of the two ditches on this hole. Off the yellows your need to drive just over 176yrds to clear the 1st ditch, and ideally be on the right of the fairway. - After 2 tough starting holes welcome to the tee for the hardest hole on the course. First you need to get your drive over pond and, ditch, but not to far left as there is a fairway bunker. Avoid all obsticals then you only need to decide on laying up or going for the green.

This is the view from the back of the 4th Green, a two tier green. Its the 1st of two consecutive Par5's. It's a tougher hole than it looks, the tee shot needs accuracy, the 2nd shot if long enough needs to avoid 2 fairway bunkers, then your need to finish on the right tier, but even then it's no easy putt.  - This is the view your have with a tee shot just short of the bunkers. Much longer off the tee your need to be left of the bunkers, but not to far left with out of bounds all down the left. With a good wind behind providing you hit a long ball this is a good hole to pinch a birdie or better. - This hole has changed for the better in the last year or so. Once upon a time you would need to be seriously left or right to find trouble, now the hole is slowly developing into a tough dog leg, that now has a small ditch halfway. Tough to get on the 2 tier in regulation, without a tough wind.

This is the tricky par3 7th, the hole that has wrecked many a scorecard in it's time. Anything right off the tee or approach if not on in 1, your be picking up a penalty shot for going out of bounds. To far left, and your in deep rough. This hole has an extended green. - The 8th, the 2nd easiest hole on the course, if your big enough and brave enough then driving this short Par4 is possible. Miss hit that drive though, and a not to kind score can be made on this narrow green. Ideal shot is left or right of the maker post on the faiway.  - Hole 9 is a Par 4, 342 yards off the white tee's, and former captain, Matt Maciejewski,  recorded a superb hole in "one" here recently. Ideal tee shot is right of the left hand fairway bunker, it requires a fade shot, or a very brave shot over the tree lined ditch.

The 10th is a toughish start to the back 9. The tee slopes from front to back. The best place to be is right of the marker post, though to far right and your out of bounds. Your next shot needs to avoid the bunkers and ditch, and find the slopping right to left green. - This is the the most difficult of all the Par5's. If you can get your tee shot right of the left hand bunker you will get the chance to take the ditch on with your 2nd, otherwise lay up short at the bottom, and hope you can get your 3rd on to this very tricky green.  - This is the view to your 2nd Par3 of the day. the best way to play this is on or just short of the green. get it on , and your be putting for a birdie, just short and your still have a chance of par. To long left or right, your be lucky to escape 1 of the 3 bunkers.

This is a hole that your drive is in need of accuracy. To far right there is either heavy rough, out of bounds, or a small cluster of trees, to far left, and your need to hope it's short of the ditch, or avoid the rough. If in the rough you might need to lay up short of the ditch with your 2nd shot. - The longest hole on the course, and another hole that requires accuracy off the tee, to give you the chance of grabbing a par or better. To far left off the tee and your be blocked behind a tree lined ditch, to far right and your either be in the ditch or playing your next shot off the 3rd. - This is the shortest hole, but it has its dangers. To get a par or better your need to be on this tricky 2 tier green in 1. miss it right and your flirt with a bunker, hit it left and, either a bunker or the new section of the green will get you, and it's not an easy putt from there.

This is a short Par5 , but is difficult with a fairway that falls slightly from right to left, and 2 bunkers on the left, that can grab even a tidy tee shot. It also has a narrow slopping green from back to front, and if thats not enough a ditch in front of the green that catches many out going for it. - This is the 2nd hardest hole on the course. It consist of a tough tee shot due to a ditch being in view, and unless you carry the main slope, your have a very long 2nd, which has a bunker protecting anything short on the left. the green is very tough, and slopes from left to right. - The final hole before the "19th". If your long enough your have a chance of hitting the green in 1, or at least cutting out the small dog leg, and removing the danger caused by bunkers on the left, and right. Get a good tee shot away and you should finish with a par.
