The Course
Across the holes we have mapped, the fairway measures a median 26 yards wide where a tee shot lands, and pinches to 17 at its narrowest. Ten of the 15 holes bend more than 18 yards off the straight line. The map carries 19 bunkers. Water crosses the line of play on the 4th, 5th, 7th and 8th.
A median 26 yards of landing area is the kind of number that settles a round before you swing. Yards works the tee shot on every hole here for your handicap and your own carry distances, then names the target that loses fewest strokes. Holes 1 and 2 are open to anyone, which here means a 493-yard par 5 and a 388-yard par 4.
