Hole 10: Par 5, 518 YardsFrom the Club Website: Tall pines line the left of the teeing area and the fairway is guarded by a bunker on the right running the full length of the landing area. There is a cross bunker on the right side of the fairway about 300 yards from the tee that can come into play for long tee shots. The second shot looks fairly wide open but the fairway narrows considerably 70 yards from the green with long bunkers on both sides extending toward the green. These bunkers aren’t visible from where the second shot is played. Even if the player lays up, the third shot is to a modest size, typically firm green which drops off in all directions. The putting surface, with its subtle breaks, is one of the most difficult to read on the entire course.
Hole 11: Par 3, 170 Yards - Drop100 plus foot drop to a green surrounded completely by fairway cut (and a couple of bunkers). Interesting kidney shape to the green, something like the 7th at Crystal Downs turned 90 degrees.
Hole 12: Par 4, 448 YardsAnother long par-4 that plays uphill. There is more room to the right than it appears, and shots that try to cut off too much will find bunker, trees or worse. One of the most subtle greens (not much internal contouring) but most difficult (very sloped back-to-front) greens on the golf course..
Hole 13: Par 4, 423 YardsAnother long par-4 that plays uphill! Phenomenal example of a single fairway bunker that can seriously dictate play and strategy on a hole. Green is protected by a very deep bunker to the right.
Hole 14: Par 5, 550 YardsAn old ditch runs diagonally across the fairway. Longer hitters are kept in check as they can reach this hazard from the tee. A large bunker runs down the LZ for the lay-up area -- lovely shaping that cannot be mistaken for anything but Mackenzie.
Hole 15: Par 4, 338 Yards - this is the way back tee, most play this hole from well under 300 yards and it is great from there.
Finding the green from the tee requires the golfer play well to the right to allow for the grounds contours which well send the ball caroming to the left. The big problem is that any tee shot that misses in the right rough will be nearly impossible to chip onto the green which slopes severely away from that angle. Golfers have been known to chip from the right edge of the green through the putting surface and OB, which lays perilously just several feet off the left edge of the green. This is all the short par-4 one could ever want.
Hole 16: Par 3, 215 YardsA long trek to reach the 16th and it is not the most inspiring on the course -- wouldn't surprise me if this hole received criticism. While it looks easy, more than a few bogies will be carded here. Playing subtly uphill, with deceptive bunkering and guarded long and short by a steep run-off, the utmost in precision is needed to walk away with 3.
Hole 17: Par 4, 394 YardsFrom the Club website: As the name indicates, the fairway slopes severely from the tee. The drive is the only blind shot on the course. Woods line the entire right side of the hole and the left is guarded by a row of pines. A well placed fairway bunker on the right will catch wayward drives. The second shot is over a dale to a large green that slopes from the left to the back right. A mound and bunker on the right and a large bunker on the left protect the putting surface. The undulations on this green yield a number of very difficult hole positions.
Hole 18: Par 4, 315 YardsFairway bunkers were recently added [restored?] to add more interest to the lay-up here. Most golfers will [or should] choose to lay back short of the penal fairway bunkers that narrow the fairway 70-100 yards short of the green. Longer hitters will have the chance to try to drive the green, especially if the forward/left tee is used.
