It takes two strong shots as well as a good putter to score well on this hole. The putting surface is protected in front on either side by sand as well. This gets you ready for the toughest hole on the entire layout, a 420-yard par 4 that doglegs to the left and requires an approach shot over the South Toe River, which crosses the fairway about 100 yards shy of the green. Play it down the right side and avoid the fairway bunker and you’ll have the best angle in to a well-protected and deep green. Thirteen is a 410-yard, par 4 with a slight dogleg left. This tree lined dogleg left requires straight tee and layup shots, followed by a precise approach shot over two front bunkers to a long narrow green.

There’s a lot more movement on the back nine, starting with the short (330 yards from the White tees) par 4 10th hole, which plays uphill, followed by the short (125 yard) par 3 11th, which plays downhill and at least a half-club shorter. Many of the holes are tree lined, placing a premium n accuracy, especially off the tee. Although there isn’t a whole lot of elevation change on the front nine, it’s not without its share of trouble.
