Pro Tips
Reaching this par 5 in two proves to be a challenge for most players due to the mounds featured throughout. On your second shot, be sure to avoid a large bunker down the right side, as that will complicate your third. The green on this hole is the largest on the course, but has a sizeable ridge which makes for some tricky pins.

Pro Tips
Even though it’s the shortest on the course, this hole still plays a bit tricky. The elevated tee box means it should play less than the actual yardage, but add in the typical headwind and selecting the right club can prove difficult.
