- If your group is not ready when called to the tee, you will lose your turn and must sign up for the next available tee time.
- The starter may determine your assignment to the first or tenth tee. Your request to start on the tenth tee may be denied in order to keep the flow of play uninterrupted. During peak periods, the starter may combine players to make up foursomes.
- Remain with your group throughout the round. Groups of more than 4 are NOT permitted.
- Keep your motor car at least 10 yards from tee boxes and greens.
- Replace all divots, rake all footprints in bunkers, and repair all ball marks on the green.

- Return all rented clubs, bags, pull carts, and motor car keys to the starter.
- Report all accidents or injuries to the starter immediately
- If conditions warrant—as determined by the starter—he/she will issue a raincheck if you present your receipt during the time of interrupted play

Yardage: 114

Yardage: 556
Yardage: 530
Yardage: 471
Yardage: 440

Yardage: 203
Yardage: 174
Yardage: 123
8th HOLE
PAR 4
Players tee off from back in the woods to the corner of this dogleg-left. Trees on the left will block sight of the green if the drive is short or left. While short-iron second shots are the rule here, this hole has proven to be the most difficult on the front nine.
Yardage: 436
Yardage: 397
Yardage: 383
Yardage: 316
9th HOLE
PAR 4
This short par 4 provides a break from the more difficult eighth and tenth holes, if you stay in the fairway. The heavily-bunkered green will be difficult to hit from the deep rough. Long hitters may take aim at the green from a forward tee position.
Yardage: 359
Yardage: 339
Yardage: 289
Yardage: 289
10th HOLE
PAR 4
A demanding hole because of the straight drive required, this par 4 features a narrow green protected by bunkers on both sides. As many bogeys as birdies will be made here.
Yardage: 447
Yardage: 423
Yardage: 410
Yardage: 321
11th HOLE
PAR 3
Water and sand on the players left present most of the problems on this hole. The contoured green, which slopes toward the hazards from right to left, makes birdies difficult.
Yardage: 196
Yardage: 164
Yardage: 152
Yardage: 112
12th HOLE
PAR 4
A 3-wood or iron off the tee will set up an uphill approach to the green. Trees and rough on either side of the fairway cause most of the trouble here.
Yardage: 381
Yardage: 364
Yardage: 347
Yardage: 287
13th HOLE
PAR 4/5

Yardage: 408
Yardage: 402
Yardage: 402
14th HOLE
PAR 3

Yardage: 172
Yardage: 159
Yardage: 136
15th HOLE
PAR 5
This dogleg-left is reachable in two strokes with a good tee shot. While birdies are common here, woods on the right as well as a small, sloping green can present problems and keep eagles to a minimum.
Yardage: 531
Yardage: 513
Yardage: 503
Yardage: 420
16th HOLE
PAR 4
The narrow landing area and difficult green are the trademarks of this par 4. Trees on the left and sand on the right make driving difficult. Short irons are played to the green, which is guarded in front by the creek.

Yardage: 351
Yardage: 341
Yardage: 291
17th HOLE

Yardage: 387
Yardage: 370
Yardage: 345
Yardage: 215
18th HOLE
PAR 5
A good drive over the creek allows players to go for the green in two strokes; otherwise, you must lay up. The green has five bunkers in front to penalize the daring golfer looking for an eagle.
Yardage: 557
