Women's 18
Yardage by Tee:
Palmetto 202

Slope:
Palmetto-144 | Holley-138 | Spalding-133 | Burden: Men-124, Women-126 | Royal-103
Pro Tips
Better to add a club off the tee to avoid a long bunker shot from short of the green. The green is deep as well, so a longer club will help with a back pin placement.

Slope:
Palmetto-144 | Holley-138 | Spalding-133 | Burden: Men-124, Women-126 | Royal-103
Pro Tips
Right center off the tee is preferred to avoid being blocked by trees on the left. Add a club for uphill approach, right side of the green is the optimal landing zone as it falls to the left. Avoid going over the green or you’ll have a very severe uphill pitch shot.

Par: 5
Handicaps:
Men's 9
Women's 4
Yardage by Tee:
Palmetto 500
Holley 480
Spalding 469
Magnolia 419
Burden 419
Azalea 373
Slope:
Palmetto-144 | Holley-138 | Spalding-133 | Burden: Men-124, Women-126 | Royal-103
Pro Tips
A conservative tee shot is a good choice here. Heavy bunkerage on the left, and thick woods on the right. The last 100 yards is steeply uphill, so add a club for your 2nd or 3rd shot. Try to keep your approach below the hole, the green slopes severely from back to front.

Handicaps:
Men's 5
Women's 8
Yardage by Tee:
Palmetto 438

Azalea 288
Slope:
Palmetto-144 | Holley-138 | Spalding-133 | Burden: Men-124, Women-126 | Royal-103
Pro Tips
The longer hitters can go over the trees on the left and cut the corner. Mere mortals should aim just to the right of those trees to avoid small bunkers on the other side of them. Avoid an approach shot that goes over the green or you will end up with another difficult uphill pitch.

Pro Tips
Downhill straight over water. DO NOT LEAVE IT SHORT. A midiron into this par 3 is the ideal shot. The green is wide and long, so give yourself plenty of room.

Slope:

Pro Tips
Bombs away on this wide fairway to end the front nine. Bunkers surround the green, so be sure to be accurate with a midiron into the green, and be sure to leave your ball below the hole to ensure an uphill putt

Slope:
Palmetto-144 | Holley-138 | Spalding-133 | Burden: Men-124, Women-126 | Royal-103
Pro Tips
The right side of the fairway is where you want to leave this tee shot. Left leaves you in the mounds of rough and leads to a tough lie. Be sure not to go long with your approach, as you will face a difficult up and in.

Slope:
Palmetto-144 | Holley-138 | Spalding-133 | Burden: Men-124, Women-126 | Royal-103
Pro Tips
Driver may not be necessary on this unique par 5. Be sure to stay away from the right side, as it is all hazard. There is a creek that flows about halfway down the hole. The second shot in is straight uphill, so be sure to take an extra club or 2 (or 3.)

Yardage by Tee:
Palmetto 398

Azalea 244
Slope:
Palmetto-144 | Holley-138 | Spalding-133 | Burden: Men-124, Women-126 | Royal-103
Pro Tips
This may be the toughest tee shot on the course. A good drive here would be just to the right of the mound on the left. A good tee shot will leave a short iron or wedge, but beware as it is downhill to a smaller green. DO NOT go long on this hole, as you will be in jail facing a downhill pitch with minimal green to work with.

Slope:
Palmetto-144 | Holley-138 | Spalding-133 | Burden: Men-124, Women-126 | Royal-103
Pro Tips
Right center off the tee on this short dogleg left. Too far left can put you behind some trees, or even in the hazard. The approach shot will be uphill with a short iron or wedge. DO NOT leave it short of the green, as the steep hill in front will bring the ball back about 20 yards away.

Slope:
Palmetto-144 | Holley-138 | Spalding-133 | Burden: Men-124, Women-126 | Royal-103
Pro Tips
The last of the par 5s requires a good drive down the left center to have any chance at reaching it in two. The best way to approach this hole is to plan for a 3 shot routine. A good layup will leave a short wedge shot into a sloped green. The green is well protected with bunkers, but there is plenty of green to work with.

Slope:
Palmetto-144 | Holley-138 | Spalding-133 | Burden: Men-124, Women-126 | Royal-103
Pro Tips
A straight away par 3 with plenty of length. This hole requires a well struck long iron, with bunkers surrounding the green. The green is relatively flat, so an easy pitch or putt would be well within reach.

Slope:
Palmetto-144 | Holley-138 | Spalding-133 | Burden: Men-124, Women-126 | Royal-103
Pro Tips
Strategy is key off of this sharp dogleg left par 4. The ideal tee shot is a three wood or hybrid off the tee and leave you with a midiron in. The green is fairly wide, but beware of bunkers surrounding it.

Slope:
Palmetto-144 | Holley-138 | Spalding-133 | Burden: Men-124, Women-126 | Royal-103
Pro Tips
A beautiful par 3 very similar to hole 8, but shorter. A short iron or wedge is all that is required. The green has plenty of space, so be sure to miss long. Any shot short will likely roll back into the hazard or catch one of the small bunkers.

Slope:

Pro Tips
Bombs away again on the long par 4 finish. A good drive will leave a long iron in. The green slopes uphill, so be sure to leave the ball short of the pin for an easier putt. Beware of the slopes, though, as even an uphill 4 footer can lead to ole Mr. Three-Wiggle.
