Tour the Golf Course -  Holes 7 to 9

 

A 200-yard downhill, usually into the prevailing northeast wind, shot to a well-protected green will test your long iron play on the third par 3 of the front nine. A play to the heart of the green will provide the only real chance at a birdie, however escaping with a par is an accomplishment in itself.

Perhaps no other hole on the golf course provides such importance to accuracy off the tee as the eighth. Two large bunkers on this dogleg steer the player to the right hand side of the fairway; thus increasing the distance required to play into this small, quick green. Aptly placed as the number one handicap hole of the golf course.

The long hitter's dream! A well-struck tee ball will land on the backside of a subtle hill in the middle of the fairway adding up to thirty yards of roll. Careful, though, as any ball landing to far left will be swallowed up by the rough and any ball to far right will most certainly end up in one of the two bunkers covering 150 yards. If your tee ball has come to rest in a position allowing you to "go for it" in two a play to the left side of the green and short will provide you with the best chance for an eagle putt. Conversely, if you have been left with a lay up the best position is to the left side of the fairway and 100 yards out leaving a shot that can hold the green if enough spin is placed on the golf ball. The approach shot is critical either way, as any ball rolling on the green will break sharply to the right.
