Hole by Hole

A reachable Par 5 to start your round. Stay off the bank! However any approach from the left side is a big advantage to the large slightly diagonal green with bunkers on each side.

Green Depth: 36 yards – Green Width: 17 yards

This Par 4 is usually into the wind. Approaching this two tier green from the right side of the fairway is desirable. However every effort should be made to avoid the fairway bunker on the right side. Bunkers right and over the back are always lurking.

Green Depth: 32 yards – Green Width: 21 yards

A straight away Par 4 to an elevated green. Keep it in the fairway and judge your approach as the wind is predominately with you. Don’t forget to factor the green elevation when determining club selection. Beware of the two bunkers on either side of the green.

Green Depth: 28 yards – Green Width: 25 yards

Our signature Par 5 features an Island green and needs to be played within your means. Danger lurks everywhere near the green so try to make your approach shot from a friendly distance.

Green Depth: 36 yards – Green Width: 18 yards

The longest of our Par 3’s. Success depends on club selection into the wind to this large green. Short is better than left or right.

Green Depth: 35 yards – Green Width: 21 yards

Accuracy, accuracy, accuracy! Hitting the fairway is a must. Out of Bounds right and the Nicola River on the left. 2 sand traps are guarding this green on the right and left. Bon Chance!

Green Depth: 30 yards – Green Width: 24 yards

Don’t go left, don’t go right. If it’s a windy day, you won’t feel it on the tee. Look to the tree tops to judge the wind predominately coming from the left. The Out of Bound stakes are not applicable to this hole.

Green Depth: 32 yards – Green Width: 22 yards

Once again accuracy is important on this dog leg right Par 4. Out of bounds is right, left and long. A tee shot left of middle is ideal. A fairway bunker guards the right side and for you long ball hitters there is also a greenside bunker on the right.

Green Depth: 33 yards – Green Width: 17 yards

Safety first. A true Risk / Reward finishing hole for the longer hitters. Mortals should not tempt the 40 yard span of the Nicola River off the tee. 160 yards – 180 yards off the tee leaves a short iron approach to a big green with a bunker on each side.

Green Depth: 29 yards – Green Width: 21 yards
