Course Slope & Rating

GOLF HOLE 1 Welcome to Owl s Nest! A drive down the left edge kicks back toward the fairway, leaving a mid-to-short iron to a generous green. The approach plays shorter than the yardage indicates. Don t be long or left. 254 281 239 266 224 251 213 240 149 176 400 385 370 359 295 Handicap 9 9 9 9 9

GOLF HOLE 2 The Drama Begins Aim the perfectc drive between the pine just right of the water and left of the tall pines beyond the fairway. Don t get cute; cutting the corner spells trouble. Don t go long on the approach. 276 320 235 279 209 253 200 244 180 224 453 392 355 337 337 Handicap 7 7 7 7 7

GOLF HOLE 3 Go For Distance: Favor the left side of the tee. Being forced to hit a mid-to-long iron into this green makes this one of the toughest holes on the course. Don t go long, out-of-bounds lurks behind and right of the green 216 261 211 255 170 214 C 275 270 229 148 194 208 110 154 100 144 169 159 411 436 395 335 325 Handicap 1 5 5 5 5

GOLF HOLE 4 Let ER Rip! A drive down the right side leaves plenty of room for a long approach or lay-up shot. You need little nerve to carry the water in two. There is plenty of room on the right to hit an easy third shot. Par 5 Lay-Up 286 -A 100 286 -B 140 542 523 503 471 431 Handicap 3 1 1 1 1

GOLF HOLE 5 Thread The Needle Even though it looks short, this straightforward par 3 plays true to the yardage. Trust the distance and make a good swing. Par 3 190 175 160 145 110 Handicap 17 17 17 17 17

GOLF HOLE 6 Be Strategic And Smart For long hitters, carrying the bunker is not out of the question, leaving a short, yet difficult iron shot into this small, two-tiered green 221 235 203 217 189 203 176 190 149 163 434 325 311 298 271 Handicap 13 13 13 13 13

GOLF HOLE 7 Seventh Heaven The most difficult par 3 on the course requires an extra club from the tee. Accuracy is paramount to this green surrounded by bunkers. Par 3 213 195 174 152 140 Handicap 9 15 15 15 15

GOLF HOLE 8 Eight Is Great Nice and easy; anything down the right side kicks back into the fairway. A shor or mid-iron to this large green usually yields a birdie attempt 191 261 168 239 146 216 132 201 102 171 C 283 261 238 224 194 380 355 335 318 292 Handicap 15 11 11 11 11

GOLF HOLE 9 A Serious Golf Hole This sharp, dogleg right, par 5 invites you to carry the bunker, some 200 yards from the tee uphill, set up the second shot to the green. Favor the left side on the approach. It s tough to make an upam-down from the right side of the green. Par 5 183 208 146 171 133 158 117 142 86 110 C 231 194 181 165 134 541 496 483 468 428 Handicap 5 3 3 3 3

GOLF HOLE 10 Love An Audience? Club selection is as important as cross and tail winds wreak havoc with well-struck tee shots. Don t miss right or long. Short left is the safest place if winds are blowing. Par 3 152 134 127 113 76 Handicap 18 18 18 18 18

GOLF HOLE 11 Eleven, Road to Heaven Stray drives tend to kick back toward the fairway on this short, forgiving par 4, mounded on both sides. Take an extra club for the uphill approach. 218 243 165 190 165 180 149 171 107 134 156 336 316 296 276 Handicap 10 10 10 10 10

GOLF HOLE 12 Gateway To The Stars Aim all tee shots down the right side. Drives down the center find the left hazard. Approach shots are more downhill than they appear, using a little less club is wise. Left is dead. 182 192 167 177 146 156 126 136 93 99 C 296 281 259 237 196 428 413 391 373 340 Handicap 4 8 8 8 8

GOLF HOLE 13 Don t Be Distracted Play conservatively off the right tee and lay-up short and right of the exposed rock. A short iron remains to a very tricky green. Stay below the hole on the approach or face a quick, downhill putt. 209 222 186 203 166 185 128 154 121 147 Lay-up A-D 193 Carry B-D 159 521 500 489 454 447 Handicap 2 2 2 2 2

GOLF HOLE 14 High And Dry Take a moment to soak up this spectacular view! Shots tend to drift right in the air so aim to the left side of the green. Landing short and left will kick your ball onto a green that runs sharply from left to right. Par 3 220 174 160 120 105 Handicap 16 16 16 16 16

GOLF HOLE 15 Short But Tricky Keep your drive in play to set up a short iron to this plateau green. The fun begins on the green. Don t be too aggressive with the putter or watch a birdie turn into a double bogey. 198 224 183 219 170 206 152 188 167 173 C 248 233 220 202 126 76 112 126 228 270 259 239 224 Handicap 10 14 14 14 14

GOLF HOLE 16 A Feel Good Hole From the tips this is one of the longest par 4 s in New England. You need to hit an accurate drive down the right side. Take less club than you think on the approach. It s better to be short than long. Tee A 320 312 282 264 212 473 465 435 417 366 Handicap 6 4 4 4 4

GOLF HOLE 17 As Good As It Ever Gets Keep this tee ball down the left side. With a good approach, birdies and eagles are common on this par 5. Go over the green and you ll find out-ofbounds. Par 5 526 513 488 446 436 Handicap 8 6 6 6 6

GOLF HOLE 18 The End Is In Sight A good, straight tee shot sets up a short-tomid-iron to this big green. Make sure that you re accurate if you try to take the ball over the bunker approach.
