The Course
Across the holes we have mapped, the fairway measures a median 24 yards wide where a tee shot lands, and pinches to 21 at its narrowest. Five of the 17 holes bend more than 18 yards off the straight line. Water crosses the line of play on the 16th.
A median 24 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 399-yard par 4 and a 515-yard par 5.
