Course Highlights
The opening hole is played of a very elevated tee with out-of-bounds all along the right — a sign of the thoughtful challenge to come. The front nine is shorter, with tighter, tree-lined fairways offering plenty of variety. The longer back nine plays to a lower par and includes a stretch of open, parallel holes (11–14) where you can open your shoulders — before tightening again at the demanding 15th.
Then comes the signature 16th — a stunning, short par 4 played from an elevated tee over the Pond to a well-defended green. It’s the ultimate risk-reward hole, tempting the brave to go for it in one. The 17th is a tricky short par 3, followed by a strong finishing hole. The 18th plays into a natural hollow below the clubhouse, with trouble long and that same Pond waiting to catch anything over-hit.
Watch the flyovers… then come and play it for real.
