What Is The Signature, Most Talked About, or Most Photographed Hole?
#9 Par 3 over water that can play from 110yds to 187. The green complex is similar to the #12 at Augusta with a green that moves from front left to back right and a steep embankment that catches most any shot short of green and sends it bouncing back to pond.
Winds can also be difficult to determine with a green that requires excellent distance control.

What Is Your Favorite Hole? Any Tips to Play It?
#10 par 5 great risk reward hole that with a good drive is reachable but, with the green guarded by a stream on 2 of 4 sides it is a challenge. Generous driving area leaves you a decision on whether to challenge the shot or, lay up and trust your wedge game. Tip, go with your wedge game.
