Golf Course Tour
Par 4, 258 yards. A short par 4 uphill towards a small green. There is a hazard running up the right side the hole, and a small bunker blocking the approach from the left side.
Par 4, 406 yards. A longer par 4, with a wide green. The fairway is wide but leads to a severe drop off down into a valley before leading back up to the green. Coming up short can cause the ball to roll back to the bottom, so distance on your approach is everything.
Par 5, 510 yards. A short par 5, and a great scoring opportunity. Straight forward and open, the fairway leads to a green with a bunker on the right-hand side.
Par 5, 525 yards. Unlike the previous hole, this par 5 gets back to a traditional length, and requires a long tee ball to have a chance at reaching in two. With a risky approach that wraps around the bend to a small green, a par on this hole is a great score.
Par 3, 170 yards. The lone par 3 on the front 9. It has a skinny green sloping from back to front, with a bunker guarding its right side.
Par 4, 350 yards. A straight away par 4, with a steep hill into a valley. This is about the landing area for most players, causing their second shot to be a blind uphill one to a flat green. The road runs along the right side of this hole, so beware of out of bounds.
Par 5, 485 yards. A straight away par 5 with an open landing zone off the tee, and wide fairway leading to the flat green.
Par 4, 350 yards. Another short par 4, but with the smallest green on the course. This two tiered green is protected by sand entirely surrounding it.
Par 4, 355 yards. A challenging hole with water on the left and bunkers guarding the green.
Par 4, 356 yards. A strong dog leg left par 4. The tee shots play over a valley back up hill onto a landing zone in the fair way. The green is guarded by hazard on the left, and bunkers and rough on the right neighboring holes.
Par 4, 358 yards. A dog leg left par 4. This hole is unique though, with the two tiered green sitting well below the fairway leading to it. A severe drop off to the green asks for an accurate approach, with distance being everything.
Par 4, 290 yards. Waste area leading up to a bunker, and then the green. Precision with the short game is most important with this hole.
Par 3, 129 yards. A short par 3, with a large green. There are bunkers on either side of this green, with hazard along the left.
Par 5, 488 yards. A strong dog leg to the right. The two tiered green is surrounded by waste area and bunkers, again calling for a solid second shot, and precise short game.
Par 3, 533 yards. Our signature hole. A challenging par 3 over a marsh side by side with the water of Bass River, this hole provides the best view you’ll get on a public golf course. The green is severely sloped from back to front, so leaving your ball short of the hole is of the utmost importance here.
Par 3, 204 yards. A tee shot to a large green. This green is unique though, with a lot of undulation throughout it.
Par 4, 241 yards. One of our shortest holes on the course, but don’t let that fool you. The green is small and protected by a front bunker to guard against players taking aim at the green off the tee.
Par 5, 520 yards. Our finishing hole is one of the longer par 4s on the course, most often playing back into the sea breeze. A straightforward tee shot is then turned into a tough approach back towards the water but guarded by sand and neighboring holes.
