Hole 10-196 Yards-Par 3- Stroke Index 16- Leading Pros Play this to 3.1
A picturesque downhill par 3, the green is carved from forested hillside to the left. To the right, it's a long way down to the valley floor. A real challenge from the elevated championship tee. Much friendlier from the normal tees below.
Hole 11 - 530 Yards- Par 5- Stroke Index 4- Leading Pros Play this to 5.3
The eleventh hole at a modest 530 Yards is the perfect example of 'risk-reward' play. It is easily possible for any long hitter to reach the green in two, but the drive must be both accurate and with a slight fade. After a good long drive that must start left and end up fading right, the long iron second shot carries over part of the lake guarding the right half of the green. Hitting long into the bunker over the green would mean blasting out back towards the lake. For the "normal" golfer, a safe 3 wood followed by a medium iron leaves just a wedge in. The creek runs throughout the length of the hole, down what feels like the center of the fairway. Dense wooded forest looms unabated on the left. Once on the green, it takes deft touch to overcome a combination of steep slopes and subtle contours. Even the regulars ask their caddies for advice here.
Hole 12- 518 Yards- Par 5- Stroke Index 8- Leading Pros Play this to 4.5
Perhaps the most spectacular elevated view, the climb leaves one feeling effects similar to oxygen depletion. What appears to be an extremely intimidating tee shot from so high up is in fact quite simple if played sensibly. The hole bends gently to the left with a creek running along the left of the fairway. Seasoned easily pros carry the creek just yards in front of the green with their second, usually with a 3 or 4 iron. High handicappers take good advantage here, with often even the shortest hitters managing to get on in three. The green itself is interestingly contoured and sloped steeply from right to left. Not a long Par 5 hole with much of the challenge around the green.
