Hole #4
Trees and fairway bunkers guard against long hitters going for this par five in two shots. Those who dare to pull out the driver face out of bounds down the left side and mounding on the right. The hole then funnels down with trees overhanging the edges of the fairway on the approach to the green. A bunker hinders those who try to knock it on in two shots and stray too far to the right. The green slopes up quickly to a top shelf at the rear of the green. Hitting on the wrong tier makes for tricky putting. Many players walk away from this short hole with scores of more than par.
Hole #5    
A short but tricky hole where positioning is everything. A long iron or fairway wood leaves players with a short iron to the green. If the player is too short or right off of the tee, trees and a green side bunker block the second shot. If the player hits too far off of the tee, a bunker awaits balls that do not roll through the fairway and into the adjoining woods. From the fairway, players must avoid green side bunkers and the risk of going over the back of this elevated green.
Hole #6
The 3rd most difficult hole on the course, this par four is measured at just under 400 yards, but plays even longer. A faded driver or lay up is required off of the tee. Fairway bunkers lurk in the background of this dogleg right. The second shot is off a down slope to an uphill green. Balls landing on the right side of the green risk rolling off into a green side bunker positioned nearly ten feet below the putting surface. This leaves a difficult up and down for those trying to make par. A well-placed drive can leave the player with as little as a 7 iron to this green, or as much as a three iron. The slope of the fairway will often dictate just how difficult your approach shot will be.
