The Course
Across the holes we have mapped, the fairway measures a median 33 yards wide where a tee shot lands, and pinches to 17 at its narrowest. Nine of the 18 holes bend more than 18 yards off the straight line. The map carries 14 bunkers and 483 individual trees. Water crosses the line of play on the 7th, 8th, 14th and 18th.
Those trees are not scenery, they are a cost. Yards prices a ball hit into cover at what it really costs you, lost-ball odds included, then names the target that loses fewest strokes. Holes 1 and 2 are open to anyone, which here means a 346-yard par 4 and a 169-yard par 3.
