Starting with an intimidating looking tee shot of this Par 5 with the driving range serving as OB on the right and a pond on the left. The hole gently doglegs left with bunkers left of the green and another pond right of the green.

Slope:

Gold 135 | Blue 128 | White 124 | Silver 118

Pro Tips

Par 4 with trees that jet out across the right side of the fairway just enough to snag slightly errant tee shots. Other than that, this hole is slightly uphill for the approach and nothing else to worry about.

Slope:

Gold 135 | Blue 128 | White 124 | Silver 118

Pro Tips

Par 4 that gently doglegs right. A long fairway bunker down the right side of the fairway discourages players from attempting to cut off the dogleg. A narrow green protected by bunkers requires a shot with precise distance control.

Pro Tips

This Par 4 entices players to try and cover as much of the water as possible to leave the shortest approach possible, but be warned, little gusts of wind have been known to make many balls splash causing golfer’s hopes for a hot start to be crashed.

Slope:

Gold 135 | Blue 128 | White 124 | Silver 118

Pro Tips

The second Par 5 is best navigated by having a plan in place already. The tee shot gives you a lot to look at with water and trees. The longer hitters will try to sneak their tee shot past a cluster of trees in the middle of the fairway leaving a mid-iron approach over water however be careful not to run through the fairway and into the water. If avoiding the water at all costs is your plan, then precise shots around the dogleg left is the best play.

On a course filled with demanding tee shots this Par 4 is no different. A slight dogleg left with a big pond down the left forces players to either risk the water off the tee or accept a long approach to a green surrounded by bunkers and water left.

Pro Tips

This is it, the “Tin Cup” pelican hole! The final hole is a Par 5 that gives many different options. A big pond creates two landing areas for the tee shot. To the left is a forced carry over the water that requires a long and accurate tee shot. To the right means no water but there is a big fairway bunker. No matter which route you take off the tee, the namesake Island green awaits. Be sure to check out the statue of the famous pelican from the bar scene out of the movie “Tin Cup” that is perched on the bulkheads on the water’s edge.
