Hole 1, Par5, 546 yards - A perfect opening hole to set
the tone for the day. A large fairway accepts the tee shot while the second shot should be
drawn in for position. This hole plays slightly uphill to a green well protected with
bunkering and mounding. This hole requires three shots to reach the putting surface,
however a birdie should be well within reach.

 |
|
| Hole 2, Par 4, 431 yards - A scenic backdrop of dense
vegetation frames in the entire left side of this downhill hole. The elevation change from
the tee to the green is approximately 90 feet. A middle iron should be all that remains to
the green following a drive in the fairway. Spacious accommodations have been designed to
the right for bailout. Here is a definite birdie opportunity despite the intimidating
length. |
 |
|
|
Hole 3, Par 3, 181 yards - With an elevated tee complex
overlooking a beautiful green lake from tee to green, this par 3 demands the proper club
selection. The large and undulating green could present a player with a devilish putt of
considerable length. A pitch shot from either side of the green will also offer a
challenge for anyone trying to save par.
|
 |
 |
|
| Hole 4, Par 4, 468 yards - The longest par 4 has a slight
dogleg to the left and plays downhill to a green always in clear view. The green sets in a
gentle valley and is sloped uphill from front to back. The smart player will hit a draw
for his second shot avoiding the trouble to the left and short of the green. Par is a good
score on this hole. |
 |
|
|
| Hole 5, par 4, 335 yards - From the tee, this golf hole
presents a golden opportunity for a natural birdie. An initial view from the tee gives the
appearance of a driveable par 4. However, the challenges around the green better suit a
purveyor of golf course management. The best approach to the green on this hole is from
the center of the level fairway. |
 |
 |
|
| Hole 6, Par 4, 420 yards - the tee to the green landing
area is ever so slightly uphill and will require a straight shot with a driver. The
landing area is very level and provides a perfect setup for a mid to long iron approach to
the green. The open backdrop to the green on this par 4 may vary club selection
significantly depending on the wind. Proper club selection is essential to land on the
table top green. |

|
|
| Hole 7, Par 5, 544 yards - While contemplating the tee
shot, a preview of coming attractions is unavoidable. While taking in the spectacular view
of the back 9, pay attention to the pin location of hole nine. A good tee shot will set up
a second shot to a multilevel fairway split by rough covered mounds. The wise player will
avoid a bogey or worse by staying well back of the green for the approach. |

 The
view of the back 9 from the 7th tee
|
| Hole 8, Par 3, 181 yards - A dramatic view from the tee
reveals a green nestled along a vast body of water. The water background causes distance
deception that will yield many shots short and right. A back left pin placement will not
relinquish very many birdies. A well placed tee shot could win a skin on this hole. |
 |
|
| Hole 9, Par 4, 393 yards - This is a very strong par 4
which plays along the lakes of the Madison Club and rises 35 feet from the tee to green. A
tee shot lost to the right will definitely yield bogey or even double. The valley of water
to the right of this hole provides a memorable view. Par is an excellent score to finish
the front nine. |
