Playing Tip




1
4
  • White – 300
  • Red – 215
Play your tee shot to the centre-right of the fairway to allow for an open second shot to the green. Keep your approach shot below the pin on this elevated green.

3
  • White: 205
  • Red: 160
This drivable green drops off immediately into the creek behind. Let your tee shot roll down to the green, but note that the green is slightly elevated. Ring the bell as your group makes their way to the next hole to notify golfers behind you that you have finished.

3
  • White: 120
  • Red: 90
Keep your ball below and right of the pin on this green. With an elevated green plus a back-to-front elevation, the pin placement of this hole can often be deceiving.

4
  • White: 250
  • Red: 200
The safe tee shot is to play your drive to the fairway stake, but a birdie or eagle opportunity awaits you with an accurate drive to the green on this dog-leg left hole.



5
3
  • White: 155
  • Red: 135
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.



6
3
  • White: 115
  • Red: 80
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.

4
  • White: 300
  • Red: 220
A strong drive quite often leaves a very short wedge to the green. Watch out for three puts on this very large green surface.



8
4
  • White: 265
  • Red: 225
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.



9
4
  • White: 345
  • Red: 310
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 approach shot to the middle-back of the green.



OUT
32
  • White: 2,055
  • Red: 1,635
Enjoy a variety of quick snacks and cold beverages from the club house and proceed to the tenth tee. A beverage cart will be serving the course on the weekends.



10
4
  • White: 311
  • Red: 281
A long drive can yield a short second shot. Be sure to land your approach shot 15 yards before the green allowing it to roll up near the flag.



11
5
  • White: 473
  • Red: 375
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.



12
3
  • White: 120
  • Red: 75
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.



13
3
  • White: 150
  • Red: 110
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.



14
3
  • White: 70
  • Red: 70
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.



15
3
  • White: 135
  • Red: 115
This green is easily reachable. Don’t be distracted by the large maple which splits the fairway.



16
4
  • White: 245
  • Red: 131
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.



17
4
  • White: 260
  • Red: 225
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.



18
4
  • White: 300
  • Red: 200
This large green makes a two-putt for par often difficult for those who cannot stick their approach shot.



IN
33
  • White: 2,034
  • Red: 1,582
Celebrate another successful round of golf with a cold beverage and snack from the clubhouse.
