Across the holes we have mapped, the fairway measures a median 25 yards wide where a tee shot lands, and pinches to 15 at its narrowest. Four of the 9 holes bend more than 18 yards off the straight line. The map carries 63 bunkers. Water crosses the line of play on the 2nd, 8th, 16th and 17th.
A median 25 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 386-yard par 4 and a 384-yard par 4.
