Hole Description
An inviting opening tee shot that features a hole guarded on the right side of the fairway with trees protecting the drive and an out of bounds area.  The left side of the fairway is adorned with a rare inverted bunker that is in play off the tee.  Optics and a classic Donald Ross green provide a fair but challenging opening hole

Hole Description
An open fairway invites an aggressive swing at the ball to set up a mid- to -short-iron approach shot.  While not visually intimidating, this elevated green is well-guarded by bunkers that are strategically placed to capture most shots that do not find the putting surface.  The green is a challenging back-to-front slope with a prominent ridge on the left-third that requires exacting line and speed depending on the pin location.

Hole Description
It has been said, “your score on three has a significant impact on your relationship with the course for the day…”  A tee shot that requires golfers to navigate a tree that guards the right side of the tee, and a valley on the left side of the fairway that is embanked with fescue is the first right of passage on this devilish uphill Par-4.  Your second shot is into an elevated, turtle-back green with a shaved front that punishes any shot shorter than the front third.  Reprieve can be found in a plateau on the back left quarter of the putting surface, but depending on the pin location, it will challenge you with a putt that will require perfect pace.

Hole Description
After a test of skill on hole 3, golfers are rewarded with a fair challenge in a pleasant downhill par 4 that features the first introduction to Mussachuck Creek which runs through the course.  From the tee, golfers can hit anything from mid-iron to driver, and use the fairway’s natural contours to find the plateau short of the creek to set up an approach shot into a dramatic two-tiered green with an aggressive back-to-front slope.  Shots long of the green will experience the consequence of missing the putting surface.

Hole Description
A modest par three that is well guarded by bunkers will require golfers to find the surface, or be prepared to test their short-game prowess.  Special attention should be paid to the wind direction, as this can have a significant impact on how the hole plays.

Hole Description
A drivable Par-4 presents golfers with a risk vs. reward decision.  Line and distance make this a second-shot hole.  A hard and fast fairway that leads to an elevated green surrounded by bunkers that will capture most long or short approach shots.  Golfers that come in from the right side will also need to consider the dramatic drop-off on the back left side.  The green slopes dramatically from left-to-right, and possesses many subtle and deceptive breaks.

Hole Description
A deceptively long and uphill whole that places a premium on the length and accuracy of the tee shot.  Golfers will face an equally challenging approach shot into a generously sloped back-to-front green. Bunkers are strategically placed along the fairway and around the putting surface placing a premium on accuracy on this challenging Par 4.

Hole Description
A picturesque Par 5 that demands a strategy from the tee to set up your second shot.  A vast bunker traverses the fairway and protects a small, blind landing area nestled between elevated fairways.  Golfers will need to decide if they will lay up short, carry the recessed landing area onto the far fairway, or go for it in two.  The water on the left taunts golfers and comes into play on certain shots.  But the eighth hole is a fair test of golf that will reward aggressive play when executed well.

Hole Description
Not a visually intimidating hole, but challenging nonetheless with a road and out of bounds on the left and a hazard on the right.  Golfers will need to hit an accurate tee shot into a prevailing wind.  Hole 9 features the second appearance of the unique inverted bunker, and is protected contoured green with a prominent ridge through the middle, and shelf on the back third.

Hole Description
A challenging Par 3 which features a contoured green surrounded by vast bunkers.  A semi-bowl-shaped green can be used to funnel tee shots toward the flag.  It can equally punish a misplaced tee shot and make for a challenging put across the surface with ample break and undulation.  Finding the putting surface is critical to starting your back nine on the right side of Par.

Hole Description
The second of the course's two Par 5’s.  Golfers a met with a spectacular view of the clubhouse as the backdrop.  A generous fairway is protected by thoughtfully placed bunkers on both sides of the fairway, as well as a middle bunker that serves as a good aiming point.  The approach requires golfers to navigate the creek that sections off the end of the hole.  An elevated green is bunkered on two sides to collect errant approach shots.

Hole Description
This playable Par 4 will entice golfers to hit Driver off the tee.  Bunkers on the left will Gobble up and any shots hit through the fairway, and the right side is protected by the marsh.  As you approach the bunkers that guard the front of the green, the fairway’s firmness and contour protect any short shots into the green.  A poorly placed approach can wreak havoc on this undulated green.

Hole Description
A long and challenging Par 4 intimidates golfers with the marsh on the left and deep fescue and trees that will challenge any shots to the right of the fairway.  An approach shot into a back-to-front sloped green that is well guarded on both sides by bunkers.  Leaving your shot below the hole is paramount to scoring well.

Hole Description
 From the tee, the left side of this hole is tree-lined and bordered by a road that marks the boundary.  On the right, there is a hazard that collects errant shots to the right off the tee.  Not exceeding long, accuracy surmounts distance from the tee.  The second shot into this elevated green is made more challenging by the false front.  Pay special attention to the pin location, as this green slopes severely from left to right. 

Hole Description
As your cross the road, you enter the seaside links section of the course where the closing four holes are just as good as the view.  Confidence is required to find the fairway on this hole.  The right side is guarded by a road and out of bounds and the left is protected by a large bunker complex.  This tee shot can be complicated by a strong wind coming in from the bay.  A large green complex is surrounded by bunkers on all sides and has a deceptively strong slope from right to left. 

Hole Description
An inviting fairway that shares the bunker complex with hole 15 and is bordered by marshland on the right.  A long and accurate tee shot will be rewarded on this Par 4, and will set up a critical approach shot into this two-tiered green that features a prominent plateau on the left-third that is guarded by two bunkers, and a ridge that funnels shots to the flatter right portion of the green.

Hole Description
Perhaps the most picturesque hole on the golf course with the ocean and a lighthouse as the backdrop.  A short but demanding Par 3 forces golfers to navigate the wind as they hit into a raised green complex that is completely surrounded by bunkers.

Hole Description
A fine finishing hole that places golfers on tees elevated in the marshland with a manageable forced carry.  There is a boundary on the left, and the 16th tee on the right that will require golfers to find the ample fairway.  A large fairway bunker frames this hole beautifully, for an approach shot into an elevated, bowl-shaped green.  The green contours can be used to maximize the approach shot.  The greenside bunkers on the right can present a significant challenge to any pins placed on the right side.
