Champion Trace

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Multiple tees present different angles to a shallow, tiered green. Deep collection area to left. Important to be on proper tier to avoid nasty putt.

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Demanding hole, with fairway sloping right to left. Long tee ball needed to get to downslope. From there it’s an uphill, 140 to 150 approach. Tight lies from collection areas. Green tilts back right to front left.

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Bunkers to right, thick rough left make this a must-hit fairway because there’s water in front of a shallow, sloping green.

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Terrific risk-reward hole. Long hitters can get a downhill roll to where it’s a mid- or short-iron second shot. Even those who lay up face tough approach to shallow green guarded by creek in front and bunker back left. 

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Conservative tee shot to wide part of fairway leaves about 160 yards in. Aggressive tee shot carries fairway bunker, leaving about 100 yards in. Green sloping back right to front.

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Straight-ahead, slight uphill hole lengthened by new tee to left of 6th green. Need to avoid small pot bunker right center of fairway. Very scoreable for long hitters.

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Water on left running length of the hole, mounds on right but not penal. Those trying to get home in two can bail out right, although three bunkers come into play. Fairly small green also guarded by bunkers, with water to the left.

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Tee shot over water to relatively big green, but could be dicey if wind is blowing and pin is in front. Entertaining finishing hole in tournament play.

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Straight-ahead hole, but since you can’t see the fairway from the tee, be aware of left fairway bunker. Right rough isn’t bad but could yield sketchy lies. Green has some pronounced sloping, so best to stay below the hole. 

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Off the tee, an uphill, slight dogleg left. Preferable drive gets you a flat lie for second shot. Long hitters can get home in 2. Better to be short than long because green has severe pitch from back to front. 

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Gear back off the tee (3-wood?) to keep the ball from going through the fairway. Drive about 250 yards leaves about 160 to a tiered green. Front hole location especially testy. (New tee box could give longer hitters option of trying to drive the green.) 

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Longer hitters can take left bunker out of play. Aggressive tee ball down right center can find downslope and make for shorter approach, but it’s still an uphill second. Greenside bunker could be trouble depending on pin position. 

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Tee shot over a valley to a shallow green with deep bunker guarding front. Hit the middle of the green, get par and move on.

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Relatively short but quirky hole, and very scoreable, especially out of the fairway. Approach can be awkward to a shallow, sloping green hidden by bunker and mounding. Don’t go long or could be OB. 

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Another good par 3, this one downhill. Important to hit the right club, with deep bunker right and wind possibly a factor. Middle of the green always good.

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Beautiful hole. Split fairway, but much better to play from upper left. Driver not required for longer hitters. If tee shot gets hung up between fairways, awkward lie awaits. Back-to-front sloping green green guarded by water and bunkers.

HOLE DESCRIPTION:
Tough hole from start to finish. Need to avoid bunkers guarding left side of fairway, but don’t block your tee shot — water borders right side. Small green requires accurate approach. Front pin position especially testy. Par is a really good score.
