This opening hole stretches to 391 yards from the back tee. Fairway bunkers on the right set up the dog leg left design. Second shots face a typically small green. well bunkered on both sides. 
A long par three, 235 from the back and 143 yards from the forward tee. Out of bounds left and tall pines right. The prevailing wind is at you and the green is uphill.
This par five is reachable in two, but the risk is high. Out of bounds left, uneven fairway lies, and a nasty pot bunker 60 yards short of the green. Once on the green. everything slopes away from you.
100 yards or 156 yards short with out of bounds left, wetlands in front and small brook to the right. This new green will hold your shot.
A slight dog leg right, 348 yards from the "whites". Try to keep your tee shot down the left side. The two-tier, well bunkered green comes back to the clubhouse.
This hole is straight, with a large brook following you on the left side. Stay between the fairway bunkers. The green slopes away in the back.
From the back tee, a mere 341 yards. This hole has the highest over par history in Club championships. The dog leg left has a lateral hazard left, elevated green and a carry over water. A new local rule change for 2002 - tee shot left of brook is NO LONGER OUT OF BOUNDS.
The men’s #1 HDCP hole, 416 yards uphill, woods to your right and the entrance road on your left. Take one extra club for your shot up to the larger than usual green.
This is the #1 HDCP hole for the forward tee. It measures 415 yards. A water hazard lies just inside the 150 yard marker. The elevated small green is tightly bunkered and returns you to the clubhouse.
A well executed drive needs to be hit at least 190 yards to see the green on this dog leg left. A big hitter may try to cut the corner, but watch out for the fairway bunker on the left. The green is generous but don’t be long.
An uphill par 3, which plays from 165 to 118 yards. The elevated oblong green has a bunker from left which protects the back tier.
Just over 500 yards from the back, this par five is straight as a ruler. Out of bound lines the entire left side and pines are on the right. The shot into the green must be accurate.
This par three is the signature hole. The cemetery left of the green dates back to the late 1800s. Three large bunkers with a brook in front guard the elevated green from the front.
Our longest hole, 556 yards from the "blues", is a slight dog leg right. The tee shot is wide open, but the fairway narrows to the green. The bail out is pin high left.
This hole plays only 334 from the middle tee selection. The out of bounds lines the left side and the right side is tree lined. Now for the fun part, the green is only 10 yards wide and falls off right.
This newly designed hole is a dog leg right. Your tee shot must favor the left side if you want a clear second shot. Look out for the fairway bunkers! The green is very difficult to putt due to large swales.
A great finishing hole, where length and accuracy are a must. Your shot to the green must be perfect. The large triple tier green is well bunkered and demands a great putting stroke. During the summer, pool members may view your final shots, so take dead aim.
| The month of August is a busy time for the Greens staff. With several weeks of possible stressful weather still to go, we will continue to spend most of our time performing regular summer maintenance and managing the poa annua. As we discussed in previous newsletters, keeping this type of turfgrass cool is critical to its survival and this is the reason you may see our staff on the greens with hoses applying a light mist of water. We will also be spending much of our time the first half of the month preparing for several Club Championships. On Monday, August 23 and Tuesday, August 24, weather permitting, we are scheduled to begin aerification of the greens. With such a stressful July and the entire month of August yet to go, we need to be sure the turf is healthy enough to withstand our aerification practices. The greens will be aerified using a tractor mounted verti-drain solid tine machine and in an effort to remove more organic matter we will also be using a small hollow tine machine over the top of the verti-drain holes. Last year the aerification went very well and the greens were fully recovered in less than two weeks. Lastly, in late August and into September we will begin over-seeding
areas of the fairways, intermediate cut, and roughs in an effort
to establish better varieties of turfgrasses in the areas where
the turf declined during the summer. Patrick
J. Dolan The concrete structures to the right of the #7 ladies tee are the skimmer system components that will be placed in the creek bank between #7 and #11 tees, in the woods. The skimmer will be at a set height, determined by the state, which will accept water at elevated water levels for irrigation use. Next week, the contractors will begin the installation of the chambers and it should take approximately one week to have it completed. Play will not be disturbed as the entire scope of the work will take place in the woods, across the stream from #7 blue tee. This system is designed to capture some flood water for irrigation and reduce usage of well waters. Patrick J. Dolan Golf Course Superintendent The Irrigation Construction Committee |
