This long dogleg par 5 is one of the most difficult holes on the course!

A long accurate drive will best set up what many consider the hardest shot on the golf course, the second shot on #2.
As the fairway narrows with a bunker placed on the right and a stream under the tree line on the left, the second shot must find the short grass to leave a short iron approach.

The large and receptive green slopes from back-to-front and is protected by bunkers in front and on both sides so knowing your distance to the flag is crucial to assure a solid chance at par.

The second par 5 in as many holes, this uphill dogleg left is reachable for longer hitters if their drive can reach, or get past, the hill.

Trees on both sides keep accuracy at a premium, and while most will lay up to their favorite distance, those enticed to go for it will look to use the slightly downhill fairway that leads to another large green.

Be wary of the greenside bunker on the right which comes into play on long approach shots, as well as being above the hole on yet another green that slopes from back-to-front.
Take advanatage of this birdie opportunity as some of the next holes will provide much tougher tests.

One of Brunswick’s signature holes, this long par 3 hole #4 is easy on the eyes, but not on the golf game!

The large pond begins in the front of the tee boxes and runs along the entire right side of the hole. Trees and bunkers protect this large green’s front and left. Be sure to pay attention to the flag for pin placement as well as wind, as it may differ than what you feel at the tee.
Hitting this green is always a better-than-average shot, and par is always a better-than-average score.

While it’s distance may not intimidate you, this par 3’s surroundings should!

Protected by the pond on the right and bunkers in the front and to the left, an accurate short iron is still required to ensure a par or legitimate shot at birdie.

Be sure to pay attention to the break of your putt, as the subtle slope towards the pond can lead to misreads and missed opportunities.

Without question the hardest hole on the golf course (for men,and even for the ladies who play it as a par 5), this long dogleg right par 4 demands length and accuracy off the tee.

Even with a fantastic drive, most are left with an approach that is unreachable, or requiring a strong fairway wood, hybrid or long iron onto the green.
While the green is receptive and unprotected in the front, putts are often missed when not enough break is played or the deceiving back-to-front slope is not respected.

A par or bogey on #6 is a score to be very happy with — a birdie on #6 is a score you’ll tell your grandkids about!

A driver may be too much club on this downhill par 4 that doglegs to the right.

Scattered trees and a fairway bunker on the right, and thick forest (and hazard) on the left, make accuracy more important than distance.
A 200-220 yard tee shot will leave a mid or short iron onto a relatively flat, but small, green that is protected by a false front and bunkers on both sides.

The one place not to miss on this approach is long, where a steep slope runs away from the green and into a lateral hazard. Good course management on this hole will always lead to chances at par and even birdie!

While this straight par 4 invites you to grip and rip it off the tee, a wayward drive could find out-of-bounds on the left or thick fescue on the right.

A solid tee shot will leave a very manageable distance onto this very large green. This is important as the green is very well protected by bunkers on all sides and out-of-bounds long.
Here’s a hint for making an easy par or elusive birdie: do not play too much break on #8’s green as it slopes ever so slightly from back-to-front but many birdie putts have been missed by over-reading the putting surface.

This par 5 might test every club you have in your bag!

Depending on what tees you play, anything from a driver to a long iron could be the play off the tee. Out of bounds runs along the left side of the hole, and the hazard on the right forces an extremely accurate drive. Longer hitters may be tempted to go for the green (either around the two big trees or though “the gap”), but laying up to the 150-yard marker is always the smartest play.

A two-tiered monster of a green awaits your approach in front of the clubhouse and over the beautiful fountain and pond. To have any chance of making a putt, be sure to land on the correct tier which slopes severely from back to front.
