The green on this par-3 is well protected, with bunkers on each side.

The longest par-4 on the front nine includes both fairway bunkers to contend with, and a trio of bunkers to avoid around the green.

This short one-shotter has a green that is protected by bunkers on both sides.

Three bunkers protect the green on this mid-length par-3.

This mostly straight-forward par-4 adds some intrigue with two fairway bunkers and and an additional three around the green.

No. 12, 633-yard par-5

Another mid-length par-3 with three bunkers protecting the green.

No. 14, 452-yard par-4

One of the course’s more severe dogleg-lefts, this hole features bunkers on each side of the fairway in the tee-shot landing area, and two bunkers in front of the green.

A creek running across the middle of the fairway adds serious intrigue to this hole, while again, two bunkers flank each side of the green.

No. 16, 498-yard par-4

This severe doglef-left requires a tee shot over the creek and an approach to a green surrounded by three bunkers.

No. 17, 504-yard par-4

This dogleg-left is a memorable finishing hole, and features a fairway bunker on the right and three bunkers on the left side of the green.
