Hole
#1 - Par 4
| 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. |
|
Hole
#2 - Par 3
| |
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. |
Hole
#3 - Par 5
 |
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. |
Hole
#4 - Par 3
| 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. |
 |
Hole
#5 - Par 4
 |
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. |
Hole
#6 - Par 4

| 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. |
 |
Hole
#7 - Par 4

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.

|
Hole
#8 - Par 4
| The
mens #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. |
 |
Hole
#9 - Par 5
 |
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.
|
Hole
#10 - Par 4

| |
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 dont be long. |
Hole
#11 - Par 3
| 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. |
|
Hole
#12 - Par 4
| |
The
elevated tee offers you two distinct fairway selections. The
high road, over a brook, is a 220 yard carry from the back tee.
The reward is a flat lie and a visible green for your second
shot. The low road to the left allows the average tee shot to
carry over the same brook. This is a safe place to land but
the next shot is usually blind. |
Hole
#13 - Par 5
| 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. |
Hole
#14 - Par 3
| 
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.
|
Hole
#15 - Par 5
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.

|
Hole
#16 - Par 4

| 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. |
Hole
#17 - Par 4
 |
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.
|
Hole
#18 - Par 4
 |
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.

News
| GREENS NEWS As July approaches, we shift our focus
to summer maintenance mode. The most important aspect during the
summer is to constantly monitor the weather. As we experienced in
June, our maintenance practices need to be flexible and be able
to adjust to any change in the weather. For example, during hot
weather we reduce the frequency of mowing to alleviate stress to
the plant. In June when long periods of rain were forecasted, we
would mow prior to the rain events. During the June wet spells we
would adjust our mowing practices by using light weight machines
or walk behind machines in areas where turf could be susceptible
to damage from the larger mowing units. Since summer is such a stressful
time for turfgrass, reducing added pressures such as machines is
an essential step.
Proper irrigation/water management is another critical issue with
hot temperatures and humid conditions. “Syringing” the
grass throughout the hot day is our most important practice. We
only apply a quick shot of water with a hose or one revolution of
a
sprinkler; just enough to allow the cold water to bring down the
surface temperature of the turf and prevent it
from wilting. Applying too much water would raise the soil temperature
higher than the air temperatures and cause the turf to wilt. When
heavy rains are followed by high temperatures, we need to help dry
out the soil profile. Proper drainage, removing standing water,
and aerifying are a few ways we can help the course dry out. The
picture shows our machine poking 5mm holes in the turf, allowing
the air to dry the soil and have no disruption to the playing surfaces.
Staying on
top of the weather, preparation, monitoring, and making adjustments
to our practices are the crucial aspects of getting through varying
weather conditions.
