The starting hole is a downhill, rather short par four with three bunkers on the right side of the landing area.  A side wind is common here, making it importatnt to keep your tee shot in the fairway.  The green is narrow and has bunkers front left and on the right side.

This hole is a three shot par five except for the really long hitters. Surrounding the green is a pond left, marsh and creek behind and to the right.  The large tree about 100 yards to the green makes going for the green in two a big risk reward for those brave enough to try.  The green is kidney shaped and slopes towards the pond on the left.  Par is a good score here.

            387 Yards Blue tees

            372 Yards White tees

            334 Yards Silver tees

            319 Yards Gold tees

Slightly uphill par four with a large green guarded by deep bunkers on the left and a green that slopes away on the backside.  No fairway bunkers to worry about. Swing away with your driver and know where the pin is located on a deep green.
 
Hole # 4

Par 3 • 166 Yards Green tees

            142 Yards Blue tees

            109 Yards White tees

            105 Yards Silver tees

              89 Yards Gold tees

The shortest of all par threes.  In addition to a pond on the left and deep pot bunkers short and behind, the swirling winds created by the surrounding houses makes choosing the right club off the tee a difficult, and important decision.
 
Hole # 5

Par 4 • 392 Yards Green tees

            361 Yards Blue tees

            338 Yards White tees

            335 Yards Silver tees

            276 Yards Gold tees

This tee shot landing area is guarded by bunkers left and right with prairie grass farther left of the fairway bunker. A good drive in the fairway leaves you with a mid to short iron approach to a two-tiered green that slopes back to front.
 
Hole # 6

Par 5 • 590 Yards Green tees

            558 Yards Blue tees

            530 Yards White tees

            482 Yards Silver tees

            447 Yards Gold tees

The dogleg par five has you teeing off over a mound with out of bounds on the right side.  The second shot is a blind shot to a flat landing area with the green being elevated, deep bunkers on the left side and a green that slopes back to front.  If playing down wind, a eagle or birdie is a possiblity. However against the wind, par is good score..
 
Hole # 7

Par 4 • 423 Yards Green tees

            389 Yards Blue tees

            361 Yards White tees

            356 Yards Silver tees

            306 Yards Gold tees

Straight downhill par four with bunkers on both sides of the fairway.  Bunkers can be driven over by the big hitters.  The green is protected by a pond on the right side and a swale left of the green.  The back part of the green has a shelf and is the most difficult pin placement.
 
Hole # 8

Par 3 • 170 Yards Green tees

            153 Yards Blue tees

            119 Yards White tees

            115 Yards Silver tees

            102 Yards Gold tees

Hit the green and you should have a par. Miss the green and trouble looms left with two pot bunkers and right with a swale and chipping back up  to an elevated green. The green slopes from back to front and slightly to the right.
 
Hole # 9

Par 4 • 431 Yards Green tees

            409 Yards Blue tees

            382 Yards White tees

            325 Yards Silver tees

            317 Yards Gold tees

This hole is a challenge with a blind landing area for your tee shot with bunkers left to protect an errant shot from going out of bounds.  The green is elevated with a collection area to the left and a series of four bunkers on the right.  Prevailing wind usually is against you when you play this hole so it plays long.  
 
Hole # 10

Par 4 • 420 Yards Green tees

            385 Yards Blue tees

            378 Yards White tees

            361 Yards Silver tees

            318 Yards Gold tees

The start of the back nine gives a hint of what's coming with the tee shot needing to be in the fairway with long grass and out of bounds all the way down the left side and out of bounds on the right side as well.  The green is elevated and sits with deep bunkers guarding the left sie. Par is a good score.
 
Hole # 11

Par 4 • 435 Yards Green tees

            398 Yards Blue tees\

            386 Yards White tees

            330 Yards Silver tees

            321 Yards Gold tees

Slight dogleg to the left with the tee shot landing on a plateau leaving downhill approach shot to a raised green with bunkers o the the left side of the green.  A ridge runs across the front third of the green making club selection a deciding factor of birdie or bogey.
 
Hole # 12

Par 5 • 523 Yards Green tees

            504 Yards Blue tees

            481 Yards White tees

            416 Yards Silver tees

            410 Yards Gold tees

This par five plays around a pond and can be reached by two good shots.  The fairway is wide but you have to make sure you don't cut too much off because the fairway slopes to the pond.  The green is two-tiered and slopes to the pond and pot bunkers in front of the green. Make sure you know where the placement of the pin is.  It's tough to make a putt from above the hole or from behind the green.
 
Hole # 13

Par 4 • 361 Yards Green tees

            346 Yards Blue tees

            323 Yards White tees

            275 Yards Silver tees

            263 Yards Gold tees

This is the number one handicap hole for a reason.  Ponds on both sides of the fairway and another pond near the the green on the right.  Must keep the ball in the fairway and any shot at left of the cart path tends to go into the pond. The green is elevated and one of the smallest on the course.  Short par four and a lot of trouble lurks for those players that are indecisive on how to play this hole.
 
Hole # 14

Par 3 • 189 Yards Green tees

            178 Yards Blue tees

            134 Yards White tees

            132 Yards Silver tees

            123 Yards Gold tees

Tough par three teeing off to a large raised green with a big oak tree on the front right of the green which over hangs the green.   In front of the green is a creek that runs into the marsh on the left.  There is a mound in the middle of the green which makes it tough to tell the location of the pin from the tee.
 
Hole # 15

Par 4 • 335 Yards Green tees

            302 Yards Blue tees

            253 Yards White tees

            250 Yards Silver tees

            225 Yards Gold tees

Short par four with a forced carry from the back two tees over the marsh. Though driveable for the long hitters, you have to beware of the ponds on the left and behind the green. The green is narrow and has a ridge that bisects the front third of the green.
 
Hole # 16

Par 3 • 201 Yards Green tees

            189 Yards Blue tees

            134 Yards White tees

            130 Yards Silver tees

            125 Yards Gold tees

Long par three with big oak trees surronding the green. A long iron or hybrid is the usual club selection off the tee.  There are bunkers in front of the narrow opening to the green on both sides that will stop shots that are just a bit off line.
 
Hole # 17

Par 5 • 613 Yards Green tees

            544 Yards Blue tees

            500 Yards White tees

            410 Yards Silver tees

            401 Yards Gold tees

This dogleg par five has a tight landing area for the tee shot.  A long pond guards the left side of the fairway from about 275 out, all the way to the green, forcing your approach shot to be an accurate one.
 
Hole # 18

Par 4 • 428 Yards Green tees

            409 Yards Blue tees

            380 Yards White tees

            340 Yards Silver tees
