This drivable green drops off immediately into the creek behind the green. Let your tee shot roll down to the green, but note that the green is slightly elevated. Please ring the bell as your group makes their way to the next hole to notify golfers behind you that you have finished.

Keep your ball below and right of the hole on this green. With the elevation, the pin placement of this hole can often be deceiving.

Depending on where the blocks are positioned on the tee, it's not uncommon to reach the green from the tee deck. However, please keep pace and play your drive to fairway stakes as noted if course is playing slow. Note that the creek surrounds the rear of this green.

No obstacles on this hole, so take your time and be accurate. Use the hill on the left if necessary to bounce your ball off of onto the green.

Unless you can stop a ball dead on the green, let your teen shot roll down from the tee. Aim your drive about 10 yards to the right of the green and anticipate having your ball first bounce roughly 40 yards from the green and watch it roll within 10-20 feet of the pin.

A strong drive quite often leaves a very short wedge to the green. Watch out for three puts on this very large green surface.

A good tail wind will get you to the green. Be careful not to over drive as the creek runs five yards behind this green. This green is also slightly elevated.

The hole plays out of bounds on the left from the tee to the corner of the left dog-leg. Keep your drive straight and long and you can be left with an easy open second shot to the green. Steep elevation on the front of the green can eliminate your par opportunity so you're better to keep your ball to the middle-back of the green.

The hole plays out-of-bounds to the right up until the bend. Aim your drive to the white marker stake in the fairway. The hole is reachable in two. Be cautious of the river five yards behind this slightly elevated green.

To ensure an easy par, position your tee shot below the flag. This green is not very deep, but extremely wide and it rolls to the front.

This challenging green rewards accuracy. Keep your ball below the hole and do not stray left of the green from the tee as you will have a blind shot coming back.

A bump and run may be your most favourable option. If the flag is towards the back or left tear, be sure not to get caught in the lower right region of the green.

This green is easily reachable. Don't be distracted by the large maple which splits the fairway.

A very rewarding opportunity exists for those long-ball hitters off the tee, otherwise, an easy shot between the two creeks will leave you with a short second shot to the green. Be cautious as the green is surrounded by the creek.

Play your tee shot to the white marker in the fairway to yield an easy and direct line to the green below. Please do not attempt to drive the blind-shot green from the tee. This will avoid hitting into the golfers in front of you or golfers putting on the tenth green.
