Men 425/383 Par 4, Ladies 375 Par 4
Please use the stand next to the white tees to look over the hill to see if the group in front is gone. This is a straight away hole, but the tee boxes point you to the right rough, so aim a little left. A bunker to the right side of the green must be avoided.
Men 350/320 Par 4, Ladies 251 Par 4

Men 207/153 Par 3, Ladies 131 Par 3
Another signature hole on the course, this 207 yard par 3 can be one of the more challenging holes if your tee shot is not straight, due to large bunkers right and left of the green. Another key to the hole is finding the right distance with your approach to this large, two-tiered green. This is a beast of a hole from the back tees, missing the green short is better than right or left. Have Fun.
