1: awesome starting hole. you can bomb a drive and hit a nice approach. there's a spot in the row of trees hulton that you can see the sheetz perfectly which really ruins the ambiance.

2: 180 off the tee and 140 approach. danger short, danger long, danger right, danger left.

3: impossible hole. church pews along the left. huge sloping fairway right to left. impossible approach. theres about a 6' deep spot on the green to land your ball from 170 yard approach shot. short - you role back down the fairway 30 yards, deep you are in jail the an impossible bump and run

4: birdie time

5: 200 off the tee. easy approach if you hit it straight and land it soft.

6: fair par 3. large bunkers surrounding green

7: blind tee shot, if your drive hits the slot you can have a short wedge in

8: 220+ par 3 with bunkers from basically 5 oclock to 11oclock around the green. a well played draw can run up on to the putting surface

9: blind tee shot up the hill. if you pound your drive you are in the bunkers in the middle of the fairway. 9 green shares with the practice green so its yuge. pin very well protected by green side bunker. go deep and have a long 2 putt for par

10: drive runs away from you and naturally will put in a ditch. if you hit the fairway, par is a strong probability, can run an iron up on to the green nicely

11: i really struggled with this hole both rounds. green very shallow. not a lot of flat lies on approach

12: big par 5. a long wood on approach can roll up if the wind is blowing well.

13: fun par 3. green slopes towards tee, run it up and let the backstop work for you

14: let it rip here. a hook wont hurt you, you will be on 12 fairway with a slightly dodgy approach. easiest hole on the course im

15: challenging par 4, a drive on left center of fairway will position well. very challenging sand trap along the entire right side of the green. if you play right of center on drive approach is almost impossible

16: silly par 3. very shallow green, need to stop a long iron on a dime to hit green.

17: uphill par 4. can either play it short with a long approach or bomb a drive and take what the course gives you. i went drive both times and ended up OK. if you are over the green on your approach, good night. the green will run every ball away and into a bunker that will take you 11 shots to get out.

18: hard not to love this finishing hole. a nice drive still leaves you 180 or so in. undulating green with an approach that can accomodate a shot dead center. pin placement can make it a wild ride.
