Hole 1: The Knoll
Par 4 410 yards 390 yards 373 yards 294 yards 264 yards
Jack starts you off with a rare dogleg left. Play your drive down the right center of the fairway to give yourself the best angle to the green. Avoid the bunkers short and right of the green. The only bail out is short & left of the green


Hole 9: Cornerstone
Par 3 160 yards 140 yards 120 yards 92 yards 74 yards
The picturesque par three ninth hole will test your nerves! The bail out area is short & right. Note the collection area on the right side of the green that funnels marginal shots off the green. On the back of the green there is a slope that will shoot balls down to the back, left of the green.


Hole 18: Bear's Valley
Par 4 460 yards 434 yards 402 yards 358 yards 348 yards
This long par four will make you earn a good score. By playing your tee shot down the right side you may be able to shorten the hole, but you run the risk of getting hung up in the trees. Your approach shot requires a long iron into a well guarded green. Par is a good score on this testy finishing hole.
