Golf Course Description

 

#1   PAR 4  369 yards

The tee shot should favor the right side on this dogleg left fairway. Trees line both sides and a bunker protects the corner if you try to cut off too much. A 3-wood off the tee, right and short of the bunker only leaves about 125 yards to the green that is guarded by bunkers, left and right.

#2        PAR 3 164 yards

Out of bounds right, two bunkers and two tall trees protect this hole from any shot that’s not struck solidly at the center of the green.

#3        PAR 4 352 yards

This hole is similar to #1 only with a narrower fairway and no fairway bunker. 3-wood off the tee will leave about 115 yards into the green. A driver with a draw will get you closer, but an errant shot will be blocked out by the trees.

#4        PAR 4 398 yards

Most players will try to drive the ball to the end of the fairway, but this will leave a mid to long iron into a very difficult green. The bombers can carry the creek (258 yards), leaving a 9 iron or wedge into a green that slopes dramatically from back to front with severe undulations.

#5        PAR 4 395 yards          #3 Handicap

The creek does not come into play, but the out of bounds on the right causes many a drives to find the trees on the left side of this hole. Even with a good drive, the OB lurks on the right side waiting for any errant iron shots. A 2nd shot hitting this green does not guarantee a par.

#6        PAR 4 358 yards

Another dogleg left with a huge bunker guarding the left corner of the fairway. A 3-wood off the tee may be a good option to keep the ball from going thru the fair-way and short of the bunker. This would get you with a 7-8 or 9 iron in your hands, hitting into a large green guarded by bunkers on each side.

#7        PAR 4 302 yards

Short but treacherous!  There is water on the right from 125 yards into the green. A fairway bunker left catches any drives that bail out to the left. Even if the tee ball escapes the bunker left, a large oak tree blocks most shots into the left side pin placements on this green. A large elevated bunker in front keeps most shots from getting close to the flag.

#8        PAR 5 538 yards         #1 Handicap

One of the hardest holes in NW Ohio! A 3 wood or long iron is the choice for most, trying to keep the tee ball on the left side of the fairway short of the river. If a drive wanders too far right, a large Maple tree blocks the 2nd shot. Ideally the 2nd shot will be on the right side of the fairway in the flat about 100 yards out. This dogleg left to an elevated green makes it very hard to judge the distance to the flag. Many bogeys or higher have been made on this tough hole.

#9        PAR 3 175 yards

An uphill tee shot , over the river with a mid to long iron is the preferred club. It’s difficult to get the ball back to the hole. A large tree on the right side, short of the green catches many miss hit shots.

#10      PAR 4 421 yards         #4 Handicap

A fairway bunker on the left, lots of trees on the right and hitting to a raised fairway puts a premium on a good drive. A small creek meanders along the left side of the green and a bunker guards the right side. Trying to guide a mid to long iron into this green is intimidating at best.

#11      PAR 209 yards

It is better to be short than left or right or long on this hole. Guarded by two large bunkers, the green slopes from back to front with two tiers, making it a must to have a straight uphill putt or chip.

#12      PAR 4 381 yards

After two tough holes, this one’s a little bit easier, unless your tee shot does not carry 225 yards over the creek. If it does, watch out for the bunkers on the right side of the fairway. Once you have reached the green, be careful of the undulations and slopes on this putting surface. 

#13      PAR 4 395 yards

This is our signature hole. A pond with a  fountain is about 250 yards off the tee. After a good lay up shot, you will have a mid to long iron into an elevated, three tiered green. A stray drive to the right, will be blocked out by a big Maple tree, making it impossible to hit the green.  

#14      PAR 4 428 yards         #2 Handicap

It takes a long straight drive to get within 160-190 yards of the green. Two sets of bunkers guard each side of the fairway and the green slopes sharply from the back to front.

#15      PAR 3 193 yards

This hole has a two-tiered green with bunkers guarding the front left and right. Similar to #11, it makes it very difficult to get it up and down unless the ball lands on the green or just short.

#16      PAR 5 515 yards

There is out of bounds on the left with bunkers on both sides of the landing area. A drive that is not in the fairway might force a lay up shot, because of the rough and some trees that will block any shots going for the green in two. Even after a good lay up shot, this saddleback green with bunkers guarding the front makes it hard to pitch it close to the hole.

#17      PAR 5 543 yards

This dogleg left hole with a 90 degree turn has out of bounds down the entire left side of the hole. A well placed drive on the left side and the ability to hit a high 3 wood over the trees might entice going for it in two. Otherwise a mid iron lay up shot would be smart, leaving you with a 9 iron or wedge from about 100-125 yards away. This two level green also has bunkers left and right that attracts any miss hit shots.

#18      PAR 4 396 yards

A great finishing hole! With a tree lined dogleg right, the drive must be the correct distance to reach the opening to the green. A less than perfect tee shot will find the ball in, around or under the trees, causing the next shot to be punched out into the fairway. A grassy depression in front and bunkers on the left and right will catch an errant shots.
